Benefits of COB LED strips
Another advantage is that the light output is much better, and the CRI value (a measure of how naturally objects are displayed under a light source) is also significantly 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. This still saves 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 easily 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 lies in how smoothly and evenly the light shines and the light output of the LED strip. 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. In the table below, we have listed the various types.| 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 have a choice of different 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.
Accessories for COB LED lighting
Many accessories are available for COB strips to neatly conceal the strip, extend it, make corners, or dim it. For this, you only need the appropriate accessories.Below we have listed the supplies you need:- Connecting LED Strip: LED Drivers 24V (converting mains power to low voltage 24V)
- Finishing LED Strip neatly: 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 COB LED strips are also used for commercial spaces such as shops, restaurants, offices, showrooms, etc. They can also be used in products like displays, aisles, cabinets, or to highlight something specific in a room. A warm white COB LED strip is frequently used for this purpose. This warm COB LED strip 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 lights when you open the door.
- 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 water-resistant. Furthermore, because COB LED strips are available in 24V low voltage, this is a very safe voltage for in the water. Lighting not only illuminates the underwater landscape, but also helps aquatic plants grow.
