Dotless + COB Strip Lights

COB stands for "Chip On Board," a technology where LED chips are directly mounted onto a flexible circuit board. This differs from traditional methods, such as Surface Mount Device (SMD) LEDs, where the LED chips are manufactured separately and then soldered onto the circuit board.

Unlike traditional SMD LED strips, COB strips integrate the LED chips directly into the circuit board, creating a seamless, more compact design. This allows for smoother lighting with no visible gaps or dots between LEDs, which is a common characteristic of traditional strips.

COB LED strips provide continuous, dotless light output for clean and uninterrupted illumination. This makes them ideal for creating a sleek, modern look and replicating the smooth appearance of older lighting technologies like neon. The uniform light is visually appealing and ideal for applications requiring even light distribution.

Yes, COB LED strips are dimmable. For optimal dimming performance, they work best with solid-state power supplies, such as aspectLED's 45W, 60W, or 80W options, or with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) dimming controls.

COB LED strips can be bent to a degree, allowing for side-to-side flexibility (also known as "top bending"). However, they should not be twisted or bent beyond their recommended curvature to avoid damage.

Extremely long life: up to 50,000 hours with very low time-luminosity decay.

Yes, you cancut LED strip lights to fit a specific length, as long as you cut them in the center of the copper solder pads.

Standard CRI (80+) is suitable for most uses. High CRI (90+) offers superior color accuracy, essential for specific applications, though it generally costs more and uses more energy. Some states require high CRI lighting for new installations.
