COB LED strips are very popular mainly because they can reach 480chips per meter or even more lamp beads per meter. The color consistency and reproduction ability have gradually become popular in high-end lighting design. This article will give you a comprehensive understanding of what LED RGBW COB strips are, their advantages, and their application scenarios.
What is a COB LED Strip?
COB (Chip On Board) is an advanced packaging technology that directly packages multiple LED chips on the same substrate to form a continuous light-emitting surface.
The structure of the COB light strip is not complicated. It has a chip layer, a fluorescent glue layer, a flexible FPC circuit board, and a thermally conductive material. However, its workmanship is very precise, the lines are neat, and it is easier to integrate into modern lighting design.
We often compare COB light strips with traditional SMD light strips. The biggest feature between them is uniform light emission and no obvious point light source. Visually, it presents a “no point light” light strip effect, which is especially suitable for lighting scenes with high requirements for light uniformity.
Advantages of COB LED Strips?
COB LED light strips are actually very similar to other traditional LED light strips. However, due to its different production technology, it can ensure that there is no light spot.
- Continuous light emission: COB technology can achieve high-density packaging so that the light strips emit light evenly and smoothly, and no longer have the “dots of starlight” effect of traditional SMD light strips.
- Multiple brightness options: For example, a single-color COB LED light strip can reach 480 per meter. There are 5W, 10W, and 15W per meter to choose from.
- Good flexibility: COB light strips will be softer and easier to bend. And it fits any curved surface, corner, and complex structure more perfectly.
- Better vision: The COB strip source is soft, has no flicker, no glare, and is more friendly to the eyes.
What is LED RGBW COB?
LED RGBW COB light strip is a light strip that combines the RGBW four-in-one color system and COB packaging technology. It not only has the function of mixing the three primary colors of red, green, and blue. It also adds an independent white light channel (White), which can be selected from 2700K-6500K. Which can be cold white, warm white, or even natural white.
COB RGBW LED strips can now reach 896LEDs per meter, and the power can be 20 W per meter. Of course, we also support customized power. If you need COB RGBW LED strips, please contact me.
This allows the light strip to present rich dynamic color effects and provide pure, bright white light illumination. Users can freely switch color temperature according to their needs to achieve the dual purposes of atmosphere lighting and functional lighting.
What are the Advantages of LED RGBW COB Strips?
RGBW COB light strips are the same as COB light strips, with consistent colors and no light spots. Of course, RGBW also has the characteristics of colorful changes and practicality:
- Combined with colorful and white light: Compared with RGB light strips, RGBW COB light strips can provide more realistic white light. Because it no longer requires mixed white light, there is a separate white light to choose from.
- Softer color transition: COB’s continuous light emission characteristics make RGB colors smoother and more natural during the change process, without a sense of “jumping.”
- Better atmosphere: The RGBW COB light strip has a smoother light surface, and the resulting light spots have a natural transition, which is suitable for atmosphere lighting.
Where is the LED RGBW COB Strip Recommended To Be Used?
RGBW COB light strips are widely used, mainly in places where a strong sense of atmosphere is required. You can refer to the following places.
- Indoor decorative lighting: such as villas, hotels, home background walls, etc., spaces with high requirements for visual effects and comfort.
- Commercial lighting: such as bars, KTVs, restaurants, etc. These places need to create different emotional atmospheres by switching between dynamic color changes and static white light.
- Photographic lighting: Because of its no flicker and high color reproduction, it can be used in studios, live broadcast rooms, and exhibition venues.
- Stage and performance lighting: RGBW COB light strips are very suitable for performances and stage settings to achieve the visual impact of colorful dynamic lighting effects.
Summary
LED RGBW COB light strips are innovative products that combine high-density light sources, rich color performance, and visual comfort. It not only provides soft and uniform continuous light, but also achieves seamless switching between dynamic and colorful and practical white light. Whether you are a designer pursuing visual beauty or a user focusing on lighting functions, RGBW COB light strips are a high-quality lighting solution worth choosing.

FAQs
LED RGBW COB strip is a flexible strip that integrates RGB (red, green, blue) and white channels in COB (chip on board) form. White channel can be selected at will, 2700K-6500K.
This mainly depends on your application. Ordinary RGBW strips cannot make so many lights per meter, and the lighting effect is inconsistent. RGBW COB strips provide better white light, smoother color transitions and non-point lighting, which is ideal for atmosphere lighting and task lighting.
Yes, our RGB COB LED lights support dimming. You only need to use it with a compatible LED controller or dimmer to dim it, so that the brightness and color can be fully adjusted.
You need an RGBW controller that supports four-channel output (RGB+W) and may need a remote control or app control. There are also ones that support WIFI, Bluetooth and voice control.
Yes, our RGBW COB LED strips are cut. You cut according to the specific marking intervals on the PCB board, and the current cut of this product is 31.25mm. You can use connectors or solder them back together.
