Chasing COB LED Strip — Running Water Effect | DENO
DENO LED offers two models of SOB Chasing LED Strips, designed for dynamic lighting installations requiring individual pixel control. These 24V strips feature dot-free illumination and are available in 10W/m and 14.4W/m configurations, both with a CRI >90. Utilizing advanced SOB technology and 99.99% gold wire bonding, they ensure consistent color and performance. Typical applications include architectural accents, retail displays, and entertainment venues where sequential or animated lighting effects are desired.

Chasing LED Strip — Buyer Questions
What is a chasing LED strip and how does it differ from plain RGB?
A chasing LED strip — also called a running water or flow LED strip light, and 'running horse' tape in the older trade catalogues — splits the run into individually driven segments so light travels along the line. Plain RGB changes the whole run at once; a chasing build animates it.

Is there an addressable COB LED strip that is still dot-free?
Yes. The SPI digital SOB build carries 320 LEDs/m at 5V with a 15.625 mm cut unit, so each pixel is a short continuous bar of light rather than a visible dot. That is the point of a pixel COB LED strip dot-free: the animation reads as a moving line, not a row of marching LEDs.

Which IC and protocol do the chasing boards use — WS2811, WS2812 or SPI/DMX?
SPI boards ship with WS2811, WS2812B, WS2815 or SK6812 class ICs depending on voltage and pixel pitch, and DMX512 versions are built for stage and architectural controllers. Tell DENO the console or controller you are using and the matching IC is fitted at production.

Can I get a smooth chasing effect LED strip at 24V?
Yes — the 16673 white chasing build runs 360 LEDs/m at 24V with an 83.3 mm segment, which gives a clean flowing wipe over long architectural lines while keeping the current low enough for 10 m runs. Use 5V SPI where you need fine pixel resolution instead of long runs.

Is chasing tape suitable for stage, KTV, bar and event lighting?
It is the main use. DMX and SPI chasing runs sync to the lighting console for stage edges, bar fronts, KTV ceilings and event trussing, and the dot-free surface keeps close-range camera shots free of the LED dot pattern that ruins broadcast footage.
