COB VS SMD LED Strip

COB stands for chip on board, which means chip directly packaged on PCB. The COB LED strip is a light strip encapsulates the chip on a flexible board, also being called FCOB LED strip or FOB LED strip. The light emitted by the chip is refracted, reflected, and interacted with the phosphor inside the encapsulating gel.

SMD is short for "Surface Mounted Device. SMD LEDs are the most common LEDs in the market. The LED chip is permanently fused to a printed circuit board. SMD LED strip is highly popular due to its versatility.

COB VS SMD LED Inner Structure

COB LED Strip has COB luminous surface, the light is even and soft with good effect. Comfortable and soft, harmless for skin and eyes. The COB led strip has a linear light-emitting surface due to high chip density and COB light strips can become very uniform without adding diffuser, while the SMD led strip can see obvious light spots and dark areas.

COB LED strip is a new type of process technology, based on the SMD led strip with further evolution for linear lighting. The uniformity of COB led strip far exceeds the SMD led strip even for the high density 2110 700LEDs SMD LED strip.
