The reasons why it is deeply loved by the market
Excellent lighting effect:
With its advantages of uniform light emission, high brightness and good color consistency, it can provide high-quality lighting effects for various places and meet the lighting needs of different scenarios. Whether it is the display cabinet and ceiling lighting in commercial lighting or the atmosphere creation of living rooms, bedrooms and other areas in home lighting, it can perform outstandingly.
Strong aesthetic appeal:
Its light, thin and flexible features enable it to blend well with various decorative styles. It can be installed in some special positions, such as the edges of furniture, corners, and stair railings. It not only provides lighting functions but also does not affect the overall aesthetics. Moreover, through ingenious design, it can create unique light and shadow effects, enhancing the layering and artistic sense of the space.
The disadvantages of COB
1. Heat dissipation issue
Heat concentration:
led cob strip light integrate multiple LED chips on a single substrate. Although this design enhances light efficiency, it also leads to heat concentration. If the heat dissipation design is not reasonable, overheating is likely to occur, which will affect the performance and lifespan of the light strips.
The heat dissipation system has high requirements:
To effectively dissipate heat, cob pixel light usually need to be equipped with additional heat dissipation systems, such as heat sinks, fans, etc. This not only increases the cost, but also may make the volume of the light strip larger, restricting its installation position.
2. Difficult to maintain
Integrated design:
The chips of cob light strip are integrated together. Once a single chip malfunctions, it is difficult to replace it alone. Usually, the entire light strip needs to be replaced.
High maintenance cost:
Due to its complex structure and high-precision manufacturing process, the maintenance of Cob Strip Light requires professional equipment and technicians, resulting in relatively high maintenance costs.
3 Compatibility Issues
Compatibility with other devices:
COB light strip may be incompatible with certain dimmers, controllers or other lighting equipment, and additional adapters or converters are required.
4.Installation environment limitations
Due to its high requirements for heat dissipation and power supply, flexible Cob strip light may not function properly in certain specific environments (such as high-temperature, humid or confined Spaces).
5. Issues of brightness and color consistency
Uneven brightness:
Although the light from cob Led Strip is usually uniform, in some cases, due to uneven chip arrangement or heat dissipation, there may be a phenomenon of inconsistent brightness.
Color deviation:
24v cob led strip from different batches may have color deviations, especially during large-scale installation. Such deviations may affect the overall lighting effect.
6. Limited flexibility
Cutting and connection limitations:
Although fcob smart light have a certain degree of flexibility, due to their integrated design, extra care must be taken during cutting and connection; otherwise, it may affect the performance of the light strips.
Installation location restrictions:
Due to its high requirements for heat dissipation and power supply, the installation location of COB LED Light Strip may be restricted and cannot be installed freely like ordinary LED light strips
