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.

Single Color COB LED Strips

The features of Single Color COB LED Strips

Here are 6 key features of single color COB LED strips:

1. Uniform color – COB LED strips provide a uniform and consistent color across the entire strip length. The LED chips are mounted directly onto the PCB board rather than individual package LEDs, allowing for even color mixing.

2. High brightness – The luminous flux of single color COB LED Strips can reach 110lm/W. At CREELUX, the maximum LED quantity in our single color series is 528leds/M, achieving 14W/M. Therefore, the maximum brightness can reach 1540lm/M. Of course, if you need even higher brightness, we can customize it.

3. Continuous lighting – COB LED strips are designed with the LED chips spread evenly across the strip with no gaps in between. This provides continuous and uniform lighting without any dark spots.

4. Wide beam angle – COB LEDs emit at a wide 180-degree beam angle, providing good light spread and coverage, making them suitable for general illumination purposes.

5. Durable – The LED chips are firmly mounted onto the PCB board, making COB strips durable and reliable for long-term use.

6. Easy to install – COB LED strips have an adhesive backing for easy and straightforward installation onto various surfaces. Polymer coatings protect against moisture and corrosion.

Types of Single Color COB LED Strips at CREELUX

Our basic model of Single Color COB LED Strip is available in a number of different configurations. We understand how varying lighting needs can be and so our LED light products follow suite. Here the types of Single Color COB LED Strip CREELUX offers:

CL-COB-320-8mm 320LEDs/M

This economical 8 watt per meter strip uses 320 COB LEDs, providing standard brightness suitable for general lighting applications.

CL-COB-384-8mm 384LEDs/M

With 384 COB LEDs and 10 watts per meter, this strip offers moderately high brightness, about 20% more than the 320 LED strip. It strikes a good balance between brightness and cost-effectiveness.

CL-COB-480-8mm 480LEDs/M

This 11 watt per meter strip has a density of 480 COB LEDs per meter, emitting relatively high brightness for the single color series. It is a great choice when higher luminosity is needed.

CL-COB-528-10mm 528LEDs/M

As the highest density 14 watt per meter product in the series, this strip packs 528 COB LEDs per meter, delivering extremely high brightness. It is ideal for places and applications demanding the maximum possible illumination.

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.
