China Company Launches COB LED Strip with Shadow-free Light - MLDR®

COB LED STRIP VS. SMD LED STRIP

Last week, MLDR® (Shenzhen Mailederun Technology Co., Ltd.) launched a brand new COB LED light strip series including 12V and 24V DC. The COB LED strips have a shadow-free light performance and excellent flexibility, filling the high quality LED strip market.

COB (chip on board) is not a new manufacturing technology and has been applying in the lighting industry for tens of years. But it's just a few years since the tech has been used to produce LED strips. Due to there is always a gap between SMD (surface mount device) LEDs, it's hard to form a continuous and uniform light track without a diffuser. However, the COB LED strip doesn't have this problem. The COB LED strip's diodes are directly mounted on the PCB (print circuit board) without the package, which makes it can be mounted with more chips than the SMD LED strips.

MLDR®'s new COB LED tape light has 512 pieces of chips per meter, and the fluorescent resin is continuous cover the chips, forming an uninterrupted lighting strip. This product fills a gap in the high-end residential and commercial light strips market and marks an innovation in the line of LED light strips. The product is now available on the website (www.mldrled.com).

The representative of Shenzhen Mailederun Technology Co., Ltd. said: "We believe that COB is the direction of light strip development, with the improvement of processing technology and related supply system, the COB LED strips are expected to replace the high-density strip lights' market in next few years".

The difference between rope light vs strip light

In today's market, due to the product names haven't been standardized, the names of various LED light strips are a bit confusing. According to the input voltage, LED strip lights can be classified into high voltage LED strip lights and low voltage strip lights. Due to the high-volt LED strip are commonly sealed by protection tube, which makes it look like a rope so that LED Rope Light is its another well-known name. Therefore, in this post, we are actually talking about the difference between high and low voltage LED strip lights.

IP65 waterproof LED rope light

LED rope light i.e. high voltage LED light strip is a flexible LED light fixture directly driven by high voltage alternating current without the adaptor. The rope light is completely wrapped in the insulating sleeve, for its high working voltage is dangerous. Although it will result in the light strips' sizes increasing, it also improves their dust and water protection rating. In addition, the high voltage AC direct driving mode can save a lot of cost of power supplies, and let the LED strip can be connected longer length in series. In order to control the heat production, high voltage strips' power cannot be high as the low voltage strips, resulting in the relatively low brightness.

Low voltage LED strips are commonly driven by direct currents, such as 5V, 12V, 24V, etc, having really high safety and stability. The regular low-volt lights have no waterproof processing, their PCB direct expose in the air, which makes them have a good heat dissipation performance. Of course, they can also be manufactured to IP65, IP67, IP68 waterproof for outdoor use. Thanks to the excellent heat dissipating efficiency, low voltage LED strips can use higher power of SMD light sources and achieve higher brightness.

These are the main differences between the rope light and LED strip. MLDR ® is a LED lighting manufacturer, producing and selling all kinds of LED light strips.

LED Light Strips' Situation and Improvement - Competition

Due to the continuous improvement of production capacity and the market space tends to be stable in recent years, the competition in the LED strip industry is getting fiercer. In order to grab the market, some LED lights suppliers only pursue lower costs and prices without paying attention to quality, resulting in an abnormal price war in the market.

At present, the whole market can be neatly divided into three levels: high, medium and low. High-level market mainly occupied by brand manufacturers. Most of the suppliers are in the mid-level market, whose products have reliable quality and reasonable prices. The low-level market is chaotic. Due to the production cost is very low, LED lights have no quality assurance, which led to the market has been in an unhealthy state of development.

In order to keep the healthy development of the LED strip market, more and more people have called on that the companies should pay attention to the quality and creation competition, instead of the price competition. MLDR CO., LTD. is a professional LED strip manufacturer in China, which has been committed to developing and producing products with reliable quality and competitive prices.
