MALIIGAZA AC 220V 230V COB LED Strip IP67 Waterproof 296LED/m High Voltage Outdoor Decorative Light 10m

Important High-Voltage Safety Notice

AC 220-240V high-voltage LED strip. Not suitable for 110V regions such as North America.

Never power the LED strip while it is still rolled on the reel. Heat cannot dissipate correctly and the strip may overheat or burn.

Installation, mains wiring, cutting, sealing and connection work should be handled by a qualified person with electrical experience.

10m High-Voltage COB Lighting for Outdoor Decoration

The MALIIGAZA FOB-296-M combines dense 296LED/m COB lighting with a milky white protective PVC sleeve, IP67 water resistance and direct AC 220-240V operation. It is designed as a practical, cost-effective solution for gardens, rooflines, building facades and other decorative lighting projects.

Soft COB Light Without Visible LED Dots

Traditional LED strips can show individual light points. This COB LED strip uses 296 LEDs per meter to create a more continuous and even light line.

The upgraded milky white PVC sleeve further diffuses the output, helping reduce glare and creating a softer appearance for architectural and decorative lighting.

Key Benefits

Upgraded Milky White PVC Protection

The COB strip is enclosed inside a milky white PVC sleeve designed to provide water resistance, sunlight resistance and anti-aging protection for outdoor decorative installations.

The diffused sleeve also softens the visible light output for a cleaner appearance on roofs, walls, gardens and architectural edges.

Flexible Project Installation

The strip can be bent into suitable decorative shapes and cut every 125mm at the marked cutting positions.

Dedicated 8mm fast connectors are also available separately for straight connections, L-shaped corners and cut-end finishing.

Where Can It Be Used?

Not Recommended for Indoor Main Lighting

This FOB-296-M model may produce visible flicker and is primarily recommended for decorative lighting instead of indoor primary illumination.

For a higher-grade high-voltage COB strip intended for applications where reduced flicker is important, see MALIIGAZA FOB-480-220V High-Voltage COB LED Strip.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Disconnect mains power before installation or adjustment.
2. Fully unroll the LED strip before any powered test.
3. Clean the mounting surface and make sure it is smooth, dry and free from dust or oil.
4. Plan the required length and cut only at the designated 125mm cutting marks.
5. After cutting, seal the exposed end with the correct dedicated end cap and silicone before outdoor use.
6. Use additional mounting clips where appropriate because the protected high-voltage strip is heavier than a standard low-voltage strip.
7. For connector-based installation, choose compatible connectors for the 8mm internal PCB.
8. Any direct mains connection to live and neutral conductors should be completed by a qualified electrician.

Never Power the Strip While Rolled Up

This warning is critical.

A 10m high-voltage LED strip generates heat during operation. If it is powered while tightly wound on the reel, heat can accumulate rapidly and may damage or burn the LED strip. Fully unroll it before powering it on.

Cutting and Fast Connector Compatibility

The outer protected strip is approximately 10mm wide, while the internal COB PCB is 8mm wide. Choose the dedicated 8mm compatible connector system designed for this high-voltage strip.

Optional matching connectors can make straight extensions, L-shaped corner installation and cut-end finishing more convenient. These accessories are sold separately unless specifically shown as included in the selected product option.

Package Information

Main item: 1 x COB LED strip.

The product brief also specifies an EU plug and a 2-pin connection lead for direct plug-in or professional hardwired installation. Check the selected option and product images for the exact accessories supplied with your order.

Important Notes and Safety Warnings

• AC 220-240V only. Do not use this strip on 110V mains systems.
• Never power the strip while it is rolled on the reel.
• Cut only at the designated 125mm cutting marks.
• After cutting, seal the end with the dedicated end cap and silicone to prevent water entry and electrical hazards.
• High-voltage LED products require appropriate electrical installation skills.
• This model may have visible flicker and is not recommended as primary indoor room lighting.
• Clean and dry the mounting surface before applying the adhesive backing.
• For long-term installation, additional mounting clips are recommended because the protected strip is relatively heavy.
• Compatible dimmer and optional fast connectors are not included unless specifically stated in the selected product option.

Troubleshooting Guide

The LED strip does not turn on

Disconnect power and verify that the installation is designed for AC 220-240V and that all compatible connections are installed correctly.

The strip became very hot during testing

Switch off power immediately. Never test the strip while it is wound on the reel. Fully unroll the complete strip before powering it.

The cut section is exposed

Do not power or expose the cut end to moisture. Use the dedicated end cap and silicone to seal the end correctly.

The strip is coming loose from the mounting surface

Clean the installation surface thoroughly and add suitable mounting clips to support the weight of the strip.

I can see flicker indoors

This model may produce visible flicker and is mainly intended for decorative use. For applications requiring a higher-grade high-voltage strip, consider the FOB-480-220V model.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use this 220V COB LED strip in the United States or Canada?

No. This model is designed for AC 220-240V systems and is not suitable for standard 110V regions such as North America.

2. Is the COB LED strip waterproof?

The strip is rated IP67 and uses a protective milky white PVC sleeve. Any cut end must be properly resealed with the correct end cap and silicone.

3. Can this COB LED strip be used outdoors?

Yes. It is designed for indoor and outdoor decorative lighting such as gardens, rooflines and building facades.

4. Can I use this strip as the main light inside a room?

It is not recommended as primary indoor lighting because this model may produce visible flicker. It is better suited to decorative applications.

5. How often can the 220V COB LED strip be cut?

The strip can be cut every 125mm, but only at the designated cutting marks.

6. What should I do after cutting the waterproof LED strip?

Seal the exposed end using the dedicated compatible end cap together with silicone before using the strip, especially outdoors.

7. Can this high-voltage LED strip be dimmed?

Yes. It supports dimming when used with a suitable compatible high-voltage dimmer. The dimmer is not included.

8. Does it require a separate LED power supply?

It is a high-voltage AC LED strip designed for direct operation on compatible AC 220-240V electrical systems.

9. How many LEDs are used per meter?

The FOB-296-M uses 296 LEDs per meter in a COB arrangement for a continuous and uniform lighting effect.

10. What is the CRI of this COB LED strip?
