What is the difference between a COB light and a strip light?

Solutions  330

COB (Chip on Board) lights and strip lights are two different types of LED lights commonly used for various lighting applications.

COB lights consist of multiple LED chips mounted directly on a single substrate, which creates a concentrated and high-intensity light output. COB lights are often used for directional lighting needs such as spotlights, floodlights, and track lighting.

Strip lights, on the other hand, consist of a long, narrow strip of LED chips mounted on a flexible circuit board. Strip lights are designed to provide a continuous linear light output and are often used for decorative and ambient lighting applications such as cove lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and backlighting.

The main differences between COB lights and strip lights are their form factor and the type of light output they provide. COB lights are typically more compact and produce a directional, high-intensity light output, while strip lights are more flexible and provide a continuous, linear light output.

In summary, the decision between COB lights and strip lights should be based on the specific lighting application and requirements. COB lights are better suited for directional lighting needs, while strip lights are better suited for decorative and ambient lighting applications.
