COB LED Strips

The Significance of COB LED Strips for the Lighting Industry

The emergence of COB LED strips represents a major technological innovation for the lighting industry. COB stands for “chip on board” and refers to chip-level packaging. COB LEDs integrate multiple small LED chips onto a single substrate to form a large light source, offering advantages over traditional single LEDs:

1. Higher luminous efficiency: COB LEDs package the chips directly on the fixture, eliminating complex secondary optics and resulting in less light loss. Luminous efficiency is over 20% higher compared to traditional LEDs.

2. Longer lifetime: COB LEDs have slower light decay and can last up to 50,000-80,000 hours, 5-10 times longer than traditional light sources.

3. Consistent color temperature: The multiple chips in a COB LED have consistent color, resulting in uniform color and excellent light quality.

4. Easy to control: COB LEDs are easily dimmable and tunable, enabling various controls and adjustments.

5. Better heat dissipation: The large aluminum substrate of COB LEDs aids heat dissipation for safer operation.

With benefits like high integration, luminous efficiency, light quality, long lifetime, COB LED strips greatly improve the performance of LED lighting. Their emergence has propelled LED lighting into a new development phase, driving continued innovation and application upgrades in the industry.

Reel to Reel COB LED Strips

The 5 Manufacturing Advantages of Reel-to-Reel COB LED Strips

With the rapid development of LED lighting, COB LED strips are gaining popularity in the market due to their high efficiency and energy saving features. And COB LED strips produced using Reel-to-Reel technology have the following 5 major advantages over regular COB strips due to their unique manufacturing process:

1. High Production Volume – The Reel-to-Reel process enables continuous high-volume production of COB strips, greatly increasing output. This lowers manufacturing costs.

2. High Material Efficiency – The Reel-to-Reel process allows precise control over LED material usage, reducing waste and lowering costs.

3. Reduced Labor Costs – The automated Reel-to-Reel production significantly cuts down on labor costs.

4. Lower Assembly Costs – The continuous Reel-to-Reel manufacturing reduces manual assembly, lowering assembly costs.

5. High Scalability – The Reel-to-Reel process can quickly scale up production capacity for high-volume COB strip fabrication.

In summary, Reel-to-Reel COB LED strips integrate high-volume production, material efficiency, low labor costs and scalability for lower manufacturing costs and better pricing advantage over regular COB strips given comparable performance. It is an important development direction for the LED lighting industry.

The Applications

Here are some of the most common applications for COB (chip-on-board) LED strips:

– Accent and Decorative Lighting – COB LED strips are often used to add colorful accent lighting to indoor spaces like living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, etc. Under cabinet lighting, stairway lighting, and backlighting furniture are popular decorative uses.

– Task Lighting – The bright, focused beam of COB LEDs make them ideal for task lighting applications like workbenches, reading nooks, kitchen countertops, art studios, and more. They provide excellent visibility for detailed work.

– Display Case Lighting – COB LED strips work great for neatly lighting display cases, trophy cabinets, retail merchandise displays, museum exhibits, and more to highlight items.

– Automotive Lighting – Waterproof COB LED strips can be installed in cars, trucks, boats, ATVs, etc to create custom interior or exterior lighting effects. Common uses include underbody lighting, interior accent lighting, and RV illumination.

– Signage and Channel Letters – The high brightness of COB LEDs allows them to effectively illuminate commercial signage and channel lettering for high visibility.

– Commercial Lighting – COB LED strips are used in retail stores, restaurants, offices, and other commercial spaces for display case lighting, task lighting, accent lighting, and more.

– Grow Lights – Some COB LEDs emit wavelengths optimal for indoor plant growth and can be used for seed starting, herb gardens, hydroponics systems, etc.

In summary, COB LED strips are extremely versatile lighting options suitable for a wide variety of residential, commercial, and industrial illumination needs both indoor and outdoor.
