Aura Performance SOB IP40 LED Strip - Cut to length
Maximum light, beautifully even. Aura Performance is our high-output SOB LED strip - delivering 1,260-1,350 lumens per metre from just 9.6W, so it lights up any space brightly and effectively with one smooth, dot-free line of light. SOB technology gives you the reliability of SMD strip with the seamless illumination of COB, making it the go-to for everything from residential kitchens and living spaces to commercial shopfits, gyms and restaurants.
Best for: Spaces where brightness and coverage come first - under-cabinet task lighting, coving and shelving at home, or shopfit displays, gym perimeter lighting and restaurant coving at scale. For colour-critical spaces, see Aura Pro (CRI 90).
