COB LED strip advantages
Another advantage is that the light output is significantly better, and the CRI value (a measure of how naturally objects are rendered under a light source) is also much improved. As a result, objects are displayed accurately and more vividly.The efficiency of a COB LED strip has also improved compared to a traditional LED strip. Previously, LED strips with 14.4 watts per meter had the same light output as current COB LED strips with 10 watts per meter. That saves another 4.4 watts per meter!
Due to the compact size of the COB LED Strip, you are very flexible when installing the strip. It fits practically into narrow or confined spaces.
Different types of COB LED strips
COB Strips 24V are available in many different SMD's P/M (LEDs), Wattages P/M, Voltages, and lengths. The difference between these is how smoothly and evenly the light shines and how much light output the LED strip produces. COB LED strips 220V are also available; these are identical to the 24V variant, except for the voltage. Furthermore, the voltage does not affect the number of SMD's (LEDs) per meter. We have listed the different types in the table below.| Types of COB LED strips | |||
| SMDs per Meter | Wattage Per Meter | Voltage | Feature |
| 320 SMDs (LEDS) | 8-10 Watt P/M | 24V | Seamless light line/good light output |
| 384 SMDs (LEDS) | 8-10 Watt P/M | 24V | Seamless light line/good light output |
| 480 SMDs (LEDS) | 11 Watt P/M | 24V | Uniform light line/High light output |
| 512 SMDs (LEDS) | 10-12 Watt P/M | 24V | Uniform light line/High light output |
| 528 SMDs (LEDS) | 14 Watt P/M | 24V | Uniform light line/High light output |
| 840 SMDs (LEDS) | 18 Watt P/M | 24V | Used for RGB-W/RGB-CCT Strips |
Light colors COB LED strips warm white – Natural white - Daylight
Naturally, you can choose from various light colors, COB LED strip warm white (2700K-3000K), COB LED strip natural white (4000K-4500K), COB LED strip daylight white (6000K-6500K) or an RGB COB LED strip.Which light color you need depends on the situation in which you are going to use this LED strip.
COB LED lighting accessories
Many accessories are available for COB strips to neatly conceal the strip, extend it, make corners, or dim it. You simply need the appropriate accessories for this.Below we have listed the supplies you need:- Connecting LED Strip: LED Drivers 24V (converting mains power to low voltage 24V)
- Neatly concealing LED Strip: LED Strip profiles
- Extending LED Strip: I-shape connector
- Making a corner with strip: L-shape connector
- Dimming/controlling LED strip: 12/24V LED Strip dimmers
Applications for the COB LED strip light
LED Strip COB can be used in various ways due to its versatility and flexibility.- Interior lighting: Think of living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, closets, etc. They can serve as main lighting or as accent lighting to create a pleasant atmosphere.
- Architectural lighting: COB LED strips are often used for architectural lighting to accentuate buildings, bridges, statues, and other structures. They are usually installed to highlight contours, lines, or other features of the object.
- Commercial lighting: Warm white LED COB strips are also used for commercial spaces such as shops, restaurants, offices, showrooms, etc. They can also be used in products such as displays, aisles, cabinets, or to highlight something specific in a room. A warm white COB LED strip is often used for this purpose. This warm LED strip COB adds more ambiance to the object.
- Automotive lighting: These COB light strips are also widely used in the automotive industry, primarily in commercial vehicles. For example, in the cargo area to turn on the light when the door is opened.
- Accent lighting: LED Strips are ideal for illuminating accents. Think of works of art, furniture, cabinets, display cases, and much more.
- Aquarium lighting: COB LED strips are extremely suitable for use in aquariums. Of course, you must ensure that the COB strip is IP66 waterproof. Furthermore, because COB LED strips are available in 24V low voltage, this is a very safe voltage for use in water. Lighting not only illuminates the underwater landscape, but also helps aquatic plants grow.
