COB LED Strip vs. SMD LED Strip: Key Differences
COB vs. SMD: Which LED Strip is Right for You?
COB (Chip on Board) and SMD (Surface-Mounted Device) LED strips are two popular types of LED strips used in various lighting applications. While they both serve the purpose of providing flexible, linear lighting solutions, they have distinct differences in terms of design, appearance, performance, and application. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between COB LED Strip and SMD LED strip.
| Difference | COB LED Strip | SMD LED Strip |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Chip on Board without package | Surface-Mounted on Flexible PCB |
| Light Effect | Dot Free,continuous light output | Visible dot effect due to individual LEDs |
| Power | Low Power | High Power |
| Beam Angle | 180° | 120° |
| Color /CCT | unable to customized | Available in Customization |
| Heat Dissipation | Better Heat dissipation | Slightly low efficiency in Heat management |
| Flexibility | Highly flexible and can easily curve | Flexible |
| Energy efficiency | more energy-efficient | Efficiency depends on the type of SMD LED |
| Color Consistency | Superior color consistency and higher CRI | Varies; depends on LED type and manufacturer |
| Brightness | Uniform brightness along the length of the strip | May vary along the strip depending on LED spacing |
| Lifespan | Longer lifespan due to better heat management | Good lifespan but dependent on heat management |
| Application | Ideal for professional, architectural, and linear lighting | Suitable for decorative, ambient, accent, and dynamic lighting (RGB/RGBW) |
| Installation and Cut Points | More frequent cut points for precise customization | Cut points depend on the model, typically every 3 or 5 LEDs |
| Cost | Higher initial cost due to advanced technology and density | Generally lower cost; wide range of price points |

Product Details and Quality Highlights
High quality COB LED–5 years warranty
The COB phosphor quality is crucial for COB LED Tape lights as it directly affects the light’s color rendering performance, light efficiency, and lifespan.High-quality phosphor ensure uniform color, improving CRI Values, increase Light efficiency, reduce light decay and extend lifepsan.
Our Preimum quality COB LED Strip Light Features following
- Super High Light efficiency is 100-120Lm/W;
- CRI>90 and CRI>95 available;
- One Bin, SDCM<3 to ensure uniform color;
- >50000 hours, 5 years Warranty;
Highly Flexible-High quality FPC,
Our standard high-quality FPC is a double-sided 2-ounce copper FPC made from polyimide material. The copper foil has a standard thickness of 35/35 microns, providing excellent performance for high-temperature, high-frequency, and high-durability applications. This FPC offers superior flexibility and chemical resistance but comes at a higher cost.
In the market, FPC copper foils are also available in other thicknesses such as 18/18, 12/12, and 18/35 microns.These alternatives cater to different application needs and cost considerations, offering varying levels of flexibility, temperature tolerance, and electrical performance.
Wide 180° Viewing Angle
The COB LED strip features an exceptional 180° wide-angle light distribution, ensuring expansive and uniform illumination across large areas. This wide viewing angle minimizes shadowing and enhances the visibility of your space, making it ideal for a variety of applications, from residential to commercial settings.
Cuttable — Tailer your needs
Our COB LED strips are designed with a cuttable feature, allowing you to adjust the length according to your specific project requirements. With cut marks placed at regular intervals, you can easily and safely trim the strip to the desired size without affecting its overall performance.
Easier Installation-Orignal 3M Adhesive Tape
Our default adhesive tape is the original imported 300LSE adhesive tape. Manufactured by 3M Company, this tape utilizes patented pressure-sensitive adhesive technology, offering exceptional initial tack and long-lasting adhesion. It is especially effective for bonding low surface energy materials such as plastics, powder coatings, and foams.
This tape is the preferred choice for high-performance applications requiring reliable, long-term bonding. Its superior adhesion, stability, and weather resistance, combined with the trustworthiness of a globally recognized brand, make it ideal for demanding applications.
Highly Durable–CE Listed 20AWG Cable
Our standard wires are CE-listed 20AWG cables. Compared to 24AWG and 22AWG cables, 20AWG is the thickest, providing the highest durability and safety. However, it comes with a higher cost and less flexibility.
Advantages of 20AWG Wires include:
- Reduced Voltage Drop
- Higher Current Carrying Capacity
- Enhanced Reliability and Safety
- Suitable for Longer Cable Runs
- Supports Higher Power LED Strips
- Reduced Electrical Resistance
- Improved Installation Flexibility
How to Choose COB LED Strip Lights?
Choosing the right COB LED strip light involves considering several key factors to ensure it meets your specific needs and application requirements. Here’s a guide to help you make the best choice
Choose the Correct Color Temperature
- Warm White (2700K-3000K): Ideal for cozy and relaxing environments like living rooms or bedrooms.
