If you are searching the LED Strips on the internet, you will find some LED Lights named COB LED Strips, so what’s COB and why we say it’s the future of LED Strips.
What is COB?
COB is the abbreviation for chip on board, which means the LED Chips were packed on the PCB board directly, not like the SMD LEDs that the LED Chips were fixed on the brackets. the COB refers to the mounting of a bare LED Chip in direct contact with a substrate to produce LED arrays, which allows for a much higher packing density of the LED array, results in higher intensity and greater uniformity of light, no light dots and dark area. can greatly reduce the footprint and energy consumption while keeping light output constant.
2. How To Produce the COB LED Strips?
when the manufacturer begins to produce the COB LED Strips, they will put the COB LEDs side by side down the center of the LED Strips, so maybe there are 320, 540, 720 or 894PCS LEDs per meter, there is a phosphor layer over the LEDs like the photo shows above. which will balance out the color temperature while also acting like a protective layer for the tiny LED Chips.
No Light Dots: because there are more LED Chips on the LED Strips per meter and the LED Chips was put side by side closely, the strip illuminates a smooth, consistent light from start to finish. the uniform light has no dark area and much more attractive to the human’s eyes. bring the steady light even in a tight place.
More Bright: yes, because the COB LED Strips have more LEDs per meter, so it looks brighter than the SMD LED Strips, the bright light also emits at a wider angle and will spread at 180° off the Strips.
More Flexible: because on the COB LED Strips the LED Chips put in an array with smaller sizes, which makes it more flexible and bendable.
Working Voltage: DC12V/DC24V, you can choose two working voltage COB LED Strips, but if you want a longer run length, we will recommend the DC24V.
Colors: there are still many colors available, you can choose the various color temperatures warm white, neutral white, cool white, other single colors and RGB.
Compared to the SMD LED Strips, the LED Strips with COB brighter and flexible, the color rendering index can reach 90, perfect for various indoor and outdoor linear lighting projects, excellent efficiency and color consistency, incredibly bright and comfortable visual experience. so we believe the COB is the future for the Flex LED Strips.
The Silicone LED Profiles, which made of 100% food-grade silicone material, flexible and bendable, waterproof and dustproof, many customers maybe not sure where can use them, today let’s check it.
The Silicone LED Profiles, which made of food-grade silicone material, tasteless and non-toxic, flexible and bendable, anti-yellowing and anti-oxidation, low and high-temperature resistance, you can use to design and build the linear LED light or modeling lighting project freely, always 5meters per reel and cuttable, you can cut to any size for your project freely, the end caps with wire holes included, easy to connect to the LED Power Supply to light up the LED Strips or connect to a LED Controller to change the color-changing style or adjust the brightness. some LED Profiles come with metal LED Clips and some come with Silicone LED Clips, you can use the Clips to fix the Bendable LED Profiles on the surface or recess into the lighting project.
How To Install The LED Strips?
so if the Flexible LED Profiles are 5 meters per piece, how can we install the LED Strips? don’t worry, before we produced them, we noticed it and bring you the perfect solution. there is a rope in the LED Profiles, you can tie a string around the side of the LED Strips and cross the total LED Profile to finish the installation of LED Strips, it’s easy for everyone. the end caps with wire holes, so you can let the wires on the LED Strips through the hole to connect to LED Power Supply or LED Controller. the LED Clips with screw holes, you can use the screws to fix them on the surface on the project.
Where You Can Use Them?
the IP rating(waterproof level) of the Waterproof LED Profile is IP67, what the IP67 mean?
” IP67 equipment is the most commonly found in the connectivity market. It is 100% protected against solid objects like dust and sand, and it has been tested to work for at least 30 minutes while under 15cm to 1m of water. ”
because of the waterproof and dustproof and poor heat dissipation features, if the working temperature always very high but not good heat dissipation, it will speed up the oxidation of the LED Strips, which means the body of the LED Strips will become to yellow and the light will darker, will shorter the lifespan of the LED Lights. we will strongly recommend using the Silicone LED Channels in a wet, damp or water location, because in there the temperature always lower than in other places. you can use them under the cabinet, in front of a fountain, bathroom or in a swimming pool, etc. be careful to the end caps with wire holes, please ensure use the glue to make it will good sealed.
Today we added two new mini LED Dimmers with ITR sensor, the HX-MINI003-HS and HX-MINI003-CB, you could block the senor to turn off the LED Light or release the blocking to turn on the LED Light, both of them with the same black color and the same size, the slim size allows you to install it in a narrow or tiny place, cabinet, kitchen, furniture, mirror, etc.
the LED Mini Dimmer Controller with one output channel design, the max output current up to 6A, working in DC12V-24V, max loading power up to 144W when working in 24V DC. the Dimmers with the 1meter sensor cable and the sensor working range is 0-8cm. the difference of the dimmers is the working mode, the MINI003-CB only turns on or turns off the LED Light gradually, but the MINI003-HS with dimming function from 0.4% to 100%. so you could choose the one you want for your project.
the LED Dimmers come with one male and one female DC connectors, you could connect them to the LED Power Supply and the Single Color LED Strips to let the LED Dimmers work, easy to install and use. you can use them under the cabinet, on the furniture, etc.
