What Makes COB LED Strips Different?

COB is a short form for Chip on Board -- a method that allows multiple LED chips to be tightly packed onto a flexible strip. The result? A uniform, dot-free beam light that is perfect for modern designs.

In contrast to older SMD versions COB LED strips are more bright and smoother, as well as more efficient. No matter if you select our Single Colour COB Strip or the vibrant RGB COB Strip each product provides a smooth, professional finish perfect for high-end interiors and commercial installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What 48 V single-colour COB strips can run 30 m continuously without voltage drop in commercial coves?

High-quality 48 V constant-voltage COB strips built on 2-oz copper PCBs and designed for long-run use can run 30 m with negligible voltage drop when installed with correct feed points and appropriately sized supply cabling.

Which high-CRI RGB+CCT COB strips pair with Skydance V5-L for tunable white and colour effects?

Choose 5-channel RGB+CCT COB strips with CRI ≥ 90 and a matching supply voltage/wiring scheme (check the controller’s voltage) these provide smooth colour mixing plus tunable warm-to-cool white when wired to the Skydance V5-L.

How do IP67 COB neon strips outperform traditional SMD flex for outdoor perimeters?

IP67 silicone-jacketed COB neon strips deliver more uniform, dot-free light, better ingress protection and superior UV/weather resistance compared with exposed SMD flex, making them more robust for external perimeters.

Best CRI and colour temperatures for interior COB strips?

For interiors, aim for CRI ≥ 90 for accurate colour rendering; common CCT choices are 2700–3000 K for warm ambience, 3500–4000 K for neutral/ambient, and 5000–6500 K for task or retail lighting.

How to calculate power supply size for a 48 V COB run?

Multiply the strip’s wattage per metre by total metres to get required watts, then add a 20–30% safety margin and choose a 48 V supply with at least that capacity.

IP67 versus IP68 for outdoor COB installations which is better?

Use IP67 for exposed, weather-proof perimeter work and occasional immersion resistance; choose IP68 where continuous immersion or permanent submersion is possible.

Recommended mounting profiles for dotless COB strips?

Aluminium recessed or surface U-profiles with opal diffusers available in shallow and deep variants are ideal for hiding strip edges, providing thermal mass, and producing continuous, dot-free light.

How to dim COB LED strips with PWM or constant-current drivers?

For constant-voltage COB strips use compatible PWM (high-frequency) dimmers or voltage-regulated controllers; for high-power COB modules use constant-current drivers or dual-channel drivers for tunable white.

What single-colour COB strips (480–544 LEDs/m, CRI>90) deliver dot-free uniformity versus traditional SMD strips in cove lighting?

High-density single-colour COB strips with continuous phosphor and CRI > 90 provide smooth, dotless illumination at 480–544 LEDs/m, outperforming SMD strips that rely on diffusers to mask hotspots.

Which 24 V RGB+CCT COB strips (784–840 LEDs/m) offer tunable white (2700–6500 K) plus full colour mixing for MiBoxer installs?

High-density 24 V 5-channel COB strips explicitly marketed for RGB+CCT with 5-wire (or compatible shared V+) wiring will deliver tunable white and full-spectrum colour mixing when paired with MiBoxer multi-zone controllers.

How do WS2811 pixel COB strips (720 LEDs/m, 30 pixels/m) create running water effects compared to standard RGB COB?

WS2811-based COB pixel strips are individually addressable so controllers can animate pixels in sequence (varying colour and intensity) to simulate flowing water or chasing patterns, unlike uniform-output RGB COB strips.

When should installers choose 12 V vs 24 V vs 48 V COB strips for 5 m profiles versus 30 m continuous commercial runs?

Use 12 V for short runs under ~5 m, 24 V for moderate runs and fewer injection points, and 48 V for long continuous commercial runs (20–30 m+) to minimise current, voltage drop and cabling complexity.

What IP67 COB neon strips (5 × 11 mm) with silicone tubing are suitable for waterproof outdoor perimeters using front/end caps?

Silicone-sheathed COB neon strips in a 5×11 mm profile with properly sealed end caps, adhesive channels and drainage options provide reliable IP67 outdoor perimeter protection when installed per manufacturer guidance.

How do high-density COB strips cut every 5 cm with solderless connectors simplify multi-zone cove installs?

Frequent cut points and compatible solderless connectors let installers create discrete zones, rejoin segments quickly without soldering, and reduce install time for multi-zone control.

Which COB strips pair best with Skydance V5-LWT 5-in-1 or MiBoxer FUT043 controllers for RGBW/RGB+CCT zones?

5-in-1 constant-voltage COB strips (matching the controller’s voltage and wiring convention) are the best fit ensure the strip’s channel configuration (RGBW or RGB+CCT) matches the controller’s outputs.

What CRI>90 COB strips provide camera-friendly, flicker-free lighting for video studios and hospitality bars?

High-CRI (>90) COB strips with low-ripple drivers, high PWM frequency (or linear dimming), and flicker-tested power supplies are recommended to ensure colour fidelity and flicker-free performance on camera.

How do 48 V COB strips reduce cabling costs and voltage drop on long-run facades versus 24 V SMD alternatives?

Because 48 V halves current for the same power compared with 24 V, it allows smaller gauge cabling and longer runs between feed points, reducing material cost and installation labour on façades.

What are COB strip lights?

COB (Chip-On-Board) strip lights mount many LED chips directly onto the PCB under a continuous phosphor layer, producing a seamless, high-density light source with reduced dotting.

How do COB LED strips differ from a standard SMD LED strip?

COB strips offer continuous, dotless light and higher perceived uniformity, while SMD strips use discrete LED packages that are easier to service and come in a wider range of chip options and efficiencies.

What applications/programs are most suitable for using COB LED strip light fixtures?

COB strips are ideal for cove and perimeter architectural lighting, retail displays, backlighting, task lighting, broadcast/video sets and hospitality spaces where uniform, glare-controlled illumination is required.

Can COB LED strips be bent and cut to accommodate different spaces?

Yes flexible COB strips can be gently curved (respecting minimum bend radius) and cut only at marked points to fit custom runs, though very tight bends and reflow soldering should be avoided.

What are the main technical specifications of COB LED strips?

Key specs include supply voltage, wattage per metre, LEDs/LED density, CRI, CCT, IP rating, PCB width, minimum cut length, dimming method and recommended operating temperature.

How energy efficient are COB LED strip lights?

COB strips offer good delivered lumens per watt and effective lumen-spread for many applications; actual efficacy varies by LED bin and driver but commonly sits in ranges comparable to high-quality SMD solutions.

What colours are offered for COB LED strip?

COB strips come in single CCT whites (various kelvins), tunable white (CCT adjustable), RGB, RGBW and RGB+CCT configurations, plus specialty colours such as amber or pastel tones in some lines.

How long will COB LED strip lights last?

Properly specified COB strips typically last tens of thousands of hours (commonly 30,000–50,000 hours) depending on thermal management, driver quality and operating conditions.

What is the Colour Rendering Index (CRI) and why is it important?

CRI measures how accurately a light source renders colours compared with a reference light; higher CRI (≥90) is important in retail, hospitality, studios and any setting where true colour appearance matters.

Do COB LEDs have waterproof properties and can they be used outside?

Many COB strips are available with IP65/IP67/IP68 encapsulation (silicone or epoxy) suitable for outdoor use when installed with correct sealing, end caps and drainage considerations.

How can I “Light your space the smart way”?

Match the right strip type, CRI and CCT to the application, plan voltage and feed points to minimise voltage drop, choose compatible controllers/dimmers for zoning, and use aluminium profiles and diffusers for uniform, professional results.
