What Is a COB Strip?
A COB strip is a special kind of led strip. COB stands for Chip-on-Board. It’s a smart way to put lots of LED chips right on one board. Regular led strips, called SMD, place each chip by itself. But COB strips squish them together tightly. This makes a bright, even light with no spotty bits. RAYMATES has awesome led strips, like high-density COB strips and colorful RGB COB strips. They’re perfect for simple things like home lights or fancy stuff like outdoor signs. You can use them anywhere to make spaces glow bright!
Advantages of COB Strips
Seamless and Uniform Illumination
Led strips like COB strips give a smooth, steady glow. Regular led strips sometimes have bright spots or dark gaps because their chips are far apart. COB strips fix this by packing chips super close on one board. The light looks clean and even, with no dots! This is great for places like store displays, wall lights, or cozy home corners where you want nice, steady light. RAYMATES led strips make your projects look super tidy, whether it’s a shop sign or a bedroom glow.
Enhanced Brightness and Efficiency
Led strips with COB are super bright! They shine way stronger than regular led strips because of all the chips packed tight. RAYMATES led strips give tons of light but use less electricity. This saves money on power bills! You can pick high-voltage (110V, 220V) or low-voltage (12V, 24V) led strips from RAYMATES to match your project’s needs.
Superior Heat Dissipation
Led strips like COB are great at staying cool. Regular led strips get hot and need extra parts to handle the heat. But COB strips spread heat across the whole board, so they don’t get too warm. This makes them last way longer! RAYMATES led strips work great in hot spots, like kitchens or outdoor areas, without breaking down. You won’t need to swap them out often, which saves time and cash.
Compact and Flexible Design
Led strips with COB are tiny and bendy, so they fit almost anywhere! RAYMATES makes them slim and easy to use in small spaces or curvy shapes. You can stick them under cabinets, around corners, or on cool signs. They’re perfect for lighting up a hotel lobby, a restaurant, or a bar counter. RAYMATES led strips let you get super creative without losing brightness or style.
