COB LED Strip

What is a COB LED Strip?

A COB LED strip, short for Chip On Board LED strip, features multiple LED chips densely packed directly onto a circuit board. This compact arrangement eliminates gaps between individual LEDs, resulting in a smooth and dot-free light output. Unlike traditional LED lights, which may produce distinct points of light, this design offers truly seamless glow along the strip surface.

The technology behind COB LEDs enhances brightness and efficiency while reducing heat buildup, thanks to improved thermal management. This means COB lighting not only performs better but also lasts longer, reducing energy costs for residential, commercial, and outdoor lighting solutions.

Furthermore, the design incorporates phosphor coating that transforms blue LED light into uniform white light, contributing to consistent light output over the entire length. This feature is particularly valued in spaces where uniform illumination is critical, such as kitchens, retail environments, and display lighting.

The Unmatched Advantage of COB LED Strip Technology

COB LED strip lighting offers a range of benefits that make it a superior choice compared to SMD LED strips and other conventional options:

• Brighter and more consistent light: The chip on board technology produces a smooth beam with minimal glare or hotspots.

• Energy efficiency: COB LED strips deliver more lumens per watt, saving electricity without compromising output.

• Better heat dissipation: Allows for longer lifespan and stable output, often lasting over 50,000 hours.

• Flexible design: COB LED strips come in flexible tape forms, making installation on curved surfaces or inside profiles easy.

• Wide beam angle: Usually around 180°, providing broader coverage and less shadowing.

These features make COB strips perfect for different applications, from under-cabinet lighting in homes to architectural illumination in commercial spaces. Their superior performance combined with ease of installation make them a smart choice for custom lighting projects.

How to Choose the Right Voltage: 12V vs 24V COB LED Strip

When selecting a COB LED strip, it’s essential to pick the right voltage for your needs. The most available options are 12V and 24V.

• 12V COB LED strips are ideal for small to medium installations and are commonly found in residential settings. They provide sufficient power with easier compatibility with most dimmable controllers.

• 24V COB LED strips suit larger installations and longer runs, as they experience lower voltage drop over distance, helping maintain uniform brightness even in extensive setups.

Both voltage options offer consistent, bright light, but your choice depends on the power requirements, installation scale, and existing electrical infrastructure. Always ensure you use a compatible power supply matched by voltage and wattage for optimal performance and safety.

COB LED Strips Colour Temperatures (Warm White, Natural White, 3000K, 4000K)

COB LED strips come in an appealing range of colour temperatures to match your desired ambience and application:

• Warm White (3000K): Offers a soft, cozy glow perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and hospitality venues aiming for a relaxing atmosphere.

• Natural White (4000K): A balanced, neutral light suitable for workspaces, kitchens, and bathrooms where clarity and natural colour rendering are essential.

• Cool White (up to 6000K): Ideal for commercial or outdoor spaces where bright, crisp illumination is necessary.

Each colour temperature tailors the mood and functionality of your space, with COB LED strips often rated for CRI (Color Rendering Index) around 90+, ensuring colours appear vibrant and true. Selecting the correct temperature greatly influences the ambience and usability of your lighting design.

Waterproof COB LED Strip Lighting for Demanding Environments

Don't let moisture or outdoor conditions limit your lighting ambitions. Our waterproof cob led strip is specifically designed for use in challenging environments. These strips feature a protective silicone coating that achieves an IP65 rating, making them resistant to dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This durability makes them the ideal light source for kitchens (under cabinets), bathrooms (around vanities), and even outdoor spaces like patios, decks, and garden features. The robust construction of this waterproof tape ensures long-lasting performance and safety without compromising on the smooth, dotless light output that defines cob lights offer.

Seamless Installation and Customisation of Your Dimmable COB Lighting

What cob lights offer is unparalleled flexibility in both design and installation. Every cob led strip comes with a high-quality self-adhesive tape backing, allowing for a secure and straightforward application on almost any clean, dry surface. For complete customisation, the strips can be cut at designated points, typically every 25-50mm, allowing you to achieve a precise fit for any space, no matter how intricate. Furthermore, all our cob leds are fully dimmable, giving you complete control over the brightness and ambience of your room. This combination of easy installation and customisable features makes our cob lighting a leading lighting solution for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
