Why are more and more projects shifting from traditional SMD LED strip lights to high-voltage COB LED strip lights?
In actual projects, designers and engineers commonly face three pain points:
- The installation distance is too long, and low-voltage LED strip lights require repetitive wiring or additional power supplies.
- Ordinary LED strip light outdoor have inconsistent brightness, and there is noticeable dimming over long distances.
- There is a need for large-area, seamless lighting effects, but traditional SMD cannot achieve continuous light output.
Due to the drawbacks of low-voltage and traditional SMD LED strip lights in long-distance installations, high-voltage COB LED strips have gradually become the new choice for outdoor lighting and large-scale architectural lighting projects.
It not only supports long-distance single-end power supply, ensures uniform brightness, and simplifies installation, but also features a cuttable design that adapts to various length requirements. Therefore, it is commonly used in the following scenarios:
- Urban building outlines: Used to outline the lines of buildings, bridges, and landmark structures, with continuous lighting and high-quality visual effects, making it suitable for long-distance facade projects. High-voltage COB LED strips support wiring over 30–50 meters, reducing the number of power points and saving labor costs.
- Outdoor parks and gardens: Emphasizing walkways, benches, sculptures, and pergola structures with soft linear lighting, combining decorative and functional lighting. This design is especially suitable for applications like commercial LED tape light in outdoor areas.
- Municipal public corridors / tunnels: Long-distance single-end power supply reduces the number of power points, ensuring uniform brightness and low maintenance, making it ideal for public lighting projects. For tunnels and public corridors, the use of 110V LED strip lights allows easy installation and consistent lighting over long distances.
- Shopping malls and commercial corridors: Enhancing the commercial space's quality with continuous, seamless lighting, highlighting borders, ceilings, and light trough lines. These lighting solutions, like LED strip lights 100 ft, are ideal for large commercial spaces.
- High-end display windows and showcases: Creating clean, even lighting on cabinet bodies, display tables, and shelves, improving the visual effect of products. The use of water proof LED light strips can also ensure long-lasting performance in these settings.
What is High Voltage COB LED Strip Lights?
The High Voltage COB LED Strip is a linear lighting product that combines AC high-voltage constant current technology with COB surface-mount light source packaging.
It can be directly connected to AC 220–240V (or 120V/230V) mains power without the need for an additional power supply. With high-density flip-chip technology and segmented constant current drivers, it achieves long-distance single-end power supply, continuous seamless lighting effects, and low maintenance costs.
Since the strip operates at high voltage, it is typically installed at high positions, inside enclosed channels, or in locations that are inaccessible, ensuring safe usage.
High Voltage COB LED Strip vs Low Voltage COB LED Strip vs Traditional SMD LED Strip
To help engineers quickly choose the right LED strip lights, we provide a clear comparison across several dimensions, including power supply method, installation cost, lighting effects, and application scope.
| Comparison Dimensions | High Voltage COB LED Strip | Low Voltage COB LED Strip (12V/24V) | Traditional SMD LED Strip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Supply Method | Directly connected to mains power (220V) | Requires a transformer | Requires a driver power supply |
| Maximum Length per Loop | 50-100 meters | ≤10 meters | ≤20 meters |
| Installation Cost | Low (fewer power points, no transformer) | High (more power points, requires transformer) | Medium (requires driver power supply) |
| Light Uniformity | No light spots, continuous surface light source | No light spots, continuous surface light source | Obvious light spots and shadows |
| Core Advantage | Long distance, low cost, high reliability | Safe low voltage, suitable for close contact | Low price, strong versatility |
| Applicable Scenarios | Large spaces, long-distance lighting | Small areas, low voltage requirements | General decorative lighting |
Product Features
IP67 Waterproof Rating
Using high-quality silicone extrusion technology, the entire structure is sealed for waterproofing, achieving an IP67 waterproof rating. It is dustproof, rainproof, and resistant to humidity, making it suitable for long-term outdoor operation.
AC 200-240V Plug and Play
The LED strip light can be directly connected to mains power without the need for an external power supply.
To ensure engineering safety and stability, we use 22AWG pure copper cables with plugs, making installation quick, ensuring stable connections, and reducing labor costs.
Outstanding Linear Lighting
Utilizing high-precision flip-chip COB patch equipment and fully automatic dispensing lines, we ensure that the chip density is consistent per meter, and the light spots are completely eliminated. Long-distance lighting remains uniform and free of gaps.
Regular LED strip lights: LED strips from other manufacturers use low-cost adhesive materials, resulting in issues like yellowing, cracked adhesive, and fast degradation.
