American Lighting TL4MM-COB — 24V DC 4mm COB LED Tape Light

The American Lighting TL4MM-COB is an ultra-narrow 4mm COB (Chip-on-Board) LED tape light engineered for installations where standard-width strips won't fit. At just 0.18" (4mm) wide and 0.07" (2mm) tall, it disappears into slim aluminum channels, micro-cove profiles, and tight millwork details — while still delivering the seamless, dotless illumination that COB technology is known for. A continuous phosphor coating over the full LED array eliminates visible hotspots and LED dot-glare for perfectly uniform output across every inch — no diffuser covers or accessories required.

Available in three color temperatures — 2700K Warm White (210 lm/ft), 3000K Soft White (230 lm/ft), and 4000K Cool White (240 lm/ft) — all at 2.43W/ft, 24V DC, 90+ CRI. IP54 Coated for indoor dry and damp locations, dimmable 5–100% with TRIAC/ELV dimmers, and closet-safe when installed in an enclosed mounting channel per NEC 410.16.

Best Applications

  • Slim aluminum channel and micro-cove installations where standard tape is too wide
  • Under-cabinet and millwork accent lighting
  • Display case, retail shelf, and showcase lighting
  • Bathroom vanity and mirror lighting (IP54 damp rated)
  • Closet and wardrobe lighting (NEC 410.16 compliant in enclosed channel)
  • Architectural linear detail lighting in hospitality and residential spaces

Key Features

  • 4mm Ultra-Narrow COB Profile: 0.18" (4mm) W × 0.07" (2mm) H — fits micro-channels and slim millwork profiles where standard COB strips are too wide. 120° beam angle for wide, even distribution.
  • Dotless COB Illumination: Seamless phosphor coating eliminates LED dotting and spot-glare — uniform output on every surface without diffuser covers or accessories.
  • 210–240 lm/ft Output, 90+ CRI: 2700K = 210 lm/ft | 3000K = 230 lm/ft | 4000K = 240 lm/ft — all at 2.43W/ft, 24V DC. 90+ CRI for accurate color rendering across all three CCTs.
  • IP54 Coated — Dry & Damp Locations, Closet-Safe: Light nano-coating protects LEDs and PCB from moisture and dust. cULus Listed for indoor dry and damp locations. Closet-safe in enclosed channel per NFPA 70, NEC 410.16 (B)(3) and 410.16 (D)(1)(Exception).
  • Dimmable 5–100%, TRIAC/ELV Compatible: Smooth, flicker-free dimming across the full range with most TRIAC and ELV dimmers. Dimmer must be wired on the 24V DC output side of the driver — never on AC line input.
  • Cuttable Every 1.97" (50mm), 16.4ft Max Run: 16.4ft reel with 6ft lead wire and 6ft tail wire. Cut at marked 50mm intervals. 3M VHB adhesive backing for tool-free mounting.
  • 50,000-Hour Rated Life: Operating temperature range 5°C (41°F) to 70°C (158°F).

Power & Driver Sizing

The TL4MM-COB requires a 24V DC Class 2 LED driver (sold separately). At 2.43W/ft, use this formula to size your driver: run length (ft) × 2.43W/ft ÷ 0.80 = minimum driver wattage.

  • 16.4ft reel: 16.4 × 2.43 ÷ 0.80 = 50W minimum — recommended ADPT-DRJ-60-24 (60W)
  • Multi-zone: ADPT-DRJ-192-24 (192W, 2×96W) and ADPT-DRJ-288-24 (288W, 3×96W) for independently controlled zones

Dimming requires a TRIAC or ELV-compatible dimmer wired on the 24V DC output side — never on AC line input. Phase dimming compatible with most MLV, ELV, and TRIAC dimmers.

What's Included (16.4ft Reel, IP54)

  • 1× TL4MM-COB LED Tape Light — 16.4ft / 5 meters
  • 6ft lead wire + 6ft tail wire

Required — Sold Separately

  • 24V DC Class 2 LED Driver — ADPT-DRJ-60-24 (recommended for 16.4ft reel)
  • LED Dimmer — TRIAC or ELV compatible, 24V DC side wiring only
  • Mounting Channel — TL4MM-CHAN-1M (1M aluminum channel for 4mm/5mm tape)

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can the TL4MM-COB tape light be installed?

The TL4MM-COB is IP54 Coated and cULus Listed for indoor dry and damp locations. It is not rated for outdoor or wet locations. It is also closet-safe when installed inside an enclosed mounting channel in accordance with NFPA 70, NEC section 410.16 (B)(3) and 410.16 (D)(1)(Exception). Minimum clearance from storage space must be maintained per NEC requirements.

Why choose a 4mm COB over a standard-width COB tape light?

The TL4MM-COB's 4mm (0.18") width is engineered for installations where standard 8–10mm COB strips are too wide — slim aluminum extrusions, thin millwork reveals, micro-cove profiles, and recessed channels with tight tolerances. It delivers the same seamless, dotless COB illumination in a fraction of the footprint, with no diffuser cover needed.

What power supply do I need for the TL4MM-COB?

The TL4MM-COB requires a 24V DC Class 2 LED driver (sold separately). At 2.43W/ft, use this formula to size your driver: run length (ft) × 2.43W/ft ÷ 0.80 = minimum driver wattage. For a full 16.4ft reel: 16.4 × 2.43 ÷ 0.80 = 50W minimum — the ADPT-DRJ-60-24 (60W) is recommended. Maximum continuous run is 16.4ft per power feed. For multi-zone installations, the ADPT-DRJ-192-24 (192W, 2×96W) and ADPT-DRJ-288-24 (288W, 3×96W) support two and three independently controlled zones respectively.

Is the TL4MM-COB dimmable, and what dimmers are compatible?

Yes — the TL4MM-COB is dimmable from 5% to 100% using most TRIAC and ELV dimmers. Phase dimming is compatible with most MLV, ELV, and TRIAC dimmers. The dimmer must be connected on the 24V DC output side of the driver — never on the AC line input. Always verify dimmer compatibility with your specific 24V driver before installation.

What is the maximum run length, and how do I cut or extend the tape?

The maximum continuous run is 16.4ft from a single power feed. Tape can be cut every 1.97" (50mm) at marked cutting points. For installations requiring multiple runs, use TL-2JUMP6-5MMCOB (6in linking) or TL-2JUMP12-5MMCOB (12in linking) connectors with additional power feeds. The TL-2PWR-5MMCOB (6ft power connector) is available for multi-feed setups. Account for voltage drop on longer home run wire distances — contact Bees Lighting for multi-zone layout guidance.
