A continuous line of light instead of a row of beads, in two 32.8ft rolls, with colours that flow along the strip and a steady output that stays clean on camera.
The UETGRE strip uses COB LEDs, short for chip on board. Instead of separate beads spaced along a tape, tiny chips sit packed under a continuous milky coating, so the strip glows as one unbroken line. Look straight at it on an open shelf and there is no row of bright dots, just a smooth ribbon of colour.
The IC half of RGB+IC adds driver chips that let short zones of the line glow in different colours. Together that gives the effect people buy it for: a rainbow that slides along a line of light with no gaps in it. The Magic Lantern app offers 213 dynamic modes built on that trick, plus a 16-million-colour palette for still scenes.
That wide beam matters indoors. A bead strip facing into a room throws hot spots; a COB strip spreads light like a neon tube, which is why it suits places where the strip itself stays in view, such as the lip of a desk, a bookcase edge or the side of a stair.
Brightness is even from end to end, with no dark patches between chips. On a white wall the result is a clean stripe of colour that looks designed rather than taped on.

Cheap strips often pulse their LEDs rapidly to dim them, and a phone camera catches that as rolling bands across the video. UETGRE designed this strip around a stable circuit so it shows no strobe on camera. For anyone filming a game stream, a tutorial or a dance video with the lights in shot, that is the detail that matters most.
The 24-key RF remote reaches the receiver through furniture, since radio needs no line of sight. It sets brightness, colour and effect speed without reaching for a phone mid-stream. The 3-key receiver adds on, off and mode buttons at the strip itself.
After a power cut the receiver wakes in its previous mode, so a smart plug or wall switch can run the whole show. The timer adds automatic on and off so the room is already glowing when you walk in.
Brightness and effect speed each have their own slider in the app and their own keys on the remote. Two moods are simple to set up and swap between: a lively chase for when friends drop by, and a slow, dim drift for winding down.
Two separate rolls give more freedom than one long reel. One can ring the ceiling while the other runs under the bed, or both can trace a long L-shaped room. Plan where the receiver and adapter sit first, since both rolls take their power and signal from there.
Shortening is possible along the marked cut lines. Joining a cut piece back in, or bridging a doorway, takes 3-pin connectors that the kit leaves out, so buy a small pack with the kit if the layout needs them. Remember that IC strips carry signal in one direction; a piece rejoined backwards stays dark.
UETGRE lists bedrooms, living rooms, gaming rooms, under-cabinet kitchen lighting, under-bed glow, TV backlighting, stairs and display cases as homes for it. All are indoor and dry: the strip is rated IP30, which keeps fingers out but not water.
COB strips are the newer look in the family, and UETGRE's kit sits in the middle of them for length. It is longer than a single-room COB reel and pairs two rolls for flexible layouts, where others give one continuous run. Picking among them comes down to total length, app and how many rolls the room needs.
| Strip | Length | App |
|---|---|---|
| UETGRE COB RGB+IC | 65.6ft (2 rolls) | Magic Lantern |
| BUNACET COB RGB+IC | 80ft | Magic Lantern |
| ADRESUNO addressable COB | 16.4ft | duoCo StripX |
| HOUHUI RGBIC (beads) | 32.8ft | duoCo StripX |
Questions to settle before ordering:
For a gift, it suits a gamer or content creator setting up a first proper room, someone who will notice the clean line on camera. The app guide covers how Magic Lantern compares with the other apps in the family, and the full line-up lists every other strip.
COB has one trade-off to know about. Because the chips sit so close together under a single coating, the strip is a touch stiffer than bead tape and prefers wide curves to tight bends. Around a sharp shelf corner, cut and bridge with a connector instead of forcing a fold, and the line stays unbroken where it counts.
The kit also skips waterproof sleeving, which keeps the light pure and the tape thin. That is the right call for a bedroom or a desk, and the reason to look at an outdoor strip for a balcony instead.
Chip on board: small LED chips packed under a continuous coating, so the strip glows as a smooth line with no visible dots.
UETGRE designed it with a stable circuit so it shows no strobe effect when filmed on a phone or camera.
Yes, along the marked lines. Reconnecting cut pieces needs 3-pin connectors, which are not included.
No. It is rated IP30 for dry indoor rooms such as bedrooms, kitchens and game rooms.
