What is the MOQ for custom COB LED strip lights?

Most standard COB, RGBIC, mini cut and CCT strips start from 5 meters per specification. Some ultra-thin IP65 versions start at 10 meters and 110V/220V high-voltage outdoor strips start at 100 meters. OEM projects with custom PCB, labels or packaging receive a project-specific MOQ after engineering review.

What is the difference between COB and SMD LED strips?

COB strips mount 320 to 576 bare chips per meter directly on the flexible PCB and cover them with a continuous phosphor layer, creating a uniform dotless line of light without a diffuser. SMD strips use discrete packaged LEDs, typically 60 to 240 per meter, which show visible hotspots unless installed in a deep diffuser profile.

Which certifications do your LED strips have?

Our product lines carry CE, RoHS, FCC, EMC and Declaration of Conformity documentation, and our factory has been verified on-site by SGS Group. Test reports can be shared on request for your compliance files.

Should I choose a 12V, 24V or 220V LED strip?

12V suits short runs and compact fixtures. 24V halves the current and allows longer runs with less voltage drop, commonly up to about 10 meters from one feed point for COB. 110V/220V strips run tens of meters from a single driver for outdoor and facade projects. Our engineers calculate run length and power for your layout.

Can you customize CCT, CRI, PCB width and packaging?

Yes. We offer sample-based, design-based and full customization, including 2700K to 6500K CCT, CRI 90+, PCB widths from 2.7 mm to 10 mm, IP20/IP65/IP67/IP68 protection, connectors, reel length, logo printing and retail packaging.

How do you control quality before shipment?

Every order passes incoming material inspection, in-process checks, a 100% light-on test, aging and finished-product inspection using 9 testing instruments. Third-party inspection by the buyer is welcome.

Localized Technical Implementation

High-Gain Motion Lighting Applications Across the Gironde Region

Bordeaux represents a unique intersection of classical architectural heritage (UNESCO World Heritage sites along the Port of the Moon), maritime estuarine humidity, world-class viticulture facilities, and cutting-edge urban expansion (such as the Euratlantique district). Deploying motion-sensor integrated LED systems within this region demands specialized hardware adaptations that go far beyond standard indoor ambient strip lighting.

1. Viticulture Estate & Wine Cellar Curing Vaults

In prestigious châteaux throughout Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, and the Médoc, wine aging cellars (chais) require strictly controlled ambient conditions. Continuous artificial light accelerates organic oxidation and degrades wine stability through light-strike (UV/blue spectrum damage).

Factory Solution: OEM IP68 silicone co-extrusion COB strips paired with precision passive infrared (PIR) directional sensors. Sensors feature zero-light standby modes, triggering 2700K amber warm white (CRI 90+, R9 > 50) illuminated paths only when sommelier staff or automated guided vehicles enter specific aisles, maintaining total darkness during maturation phases while meeting French labor safety light level directives (INRS).

2. Historical Limestone Restorations (Port of the Moon)

Renovating 18th-century Haussmannian and Gothic limestone facades in downtown Bordeaux (e.g., Quinconces, Golden Triangle) requires surface-mounted lighting that complies with strict Architecte des Bâtiments de France (ABF) mandates. Visible wire conduits, intrusive junction boxes, and unshielded glare are strictly prohibited.

Factory Solution: Ultra-narrow 2.7mm to 4mm PCB COB LED strips concealed inside custom anodized dark-bronze aluminum profiles with integrated 5.8GHz microwave doppler radar sensors. Microwave sensors sit completely invisible behind matte polycarbonate diffusers, penetrating non-metallic architectural trim to detect human approach up to 8 meters away without altering historic masonry aesthetics.

3. Commercial Corridors & Retail Hubs (Rue Sainte-Catherine)

Retail arcades, boutique hotel corridors, and high-foot-traffic commercial zones require continuous accent lighting that complies with European energy rating mandates without compromising customer ambiance.

Factory Solution: Dual-Color CCT Tunable Flexible Light Panels connected to multi-stage daylight-harvesting and motion-detecting DALI-2 dimming drivers. Lights idle at a low 10% lumen output (3W/m) during quiet periods and seamlessly ramp up over 1.5 seconds to 100% output (14W/m, 4000K daylight neutral) upon sensing customer motion, reducing annual kWh consumption by up to 68%.

4. Estuary & Maritime Facilities (Bassins à Flots & Port Areas)

Bordeaux's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and Gironde Estuary introduces elevated salt-fog spray, airborne brackish moisture, and temperature fluctuations ranging from near-freezing winter dampness to summer heatwaves.

Factory Solution: IP68 solid silicone-filled COB strips with integrated anti-corrosive copper thermal pads. These units utilize potted radar motion sensors capable of operating flawlessly despite surface condensation, frost, or saline dust accumulation, ensuring long-term perimeter security illumination along marina boardwalks and commercial logistics docks.

Regulatory Compliance & Future Engineering

Nouvelle-Aquitaine Lighting Directives & Sensor Evolution

The European Union's regulatory landscape regarding energy efficiency and light pollution has tightened significantly. In France, the national Arrêté du 27 décembre 2018 regarding the prevention and reduction of light pollution imposes strict controls on outdoor light spill, sky glow, and nighttime power consumption. For architectural lighting contractors and suppliers servicing Bordeaux, compliance requires detailed technical understanding of sensor technologies and optical control.

1. RE2020 Energy Regulations & Dynamic Motion Dimming

France’s RE2020 building code mandates that all newly constructed commercial and high-density residential developments in urban centers like Bordeaux feature automated lighting control systems. Fixed-wattage non-dimmable linear lighting is increasingly unviable for commercial project sub-tier bids. Sensor-integrated LED tape light systems that utilize 24V DC PWM dimming drivers enable seamless step-dimming (e.g., 0% → 20% standby → 100% active occupation), meeting carbon offset credits and BREEAM/LEED certification criteria.

2. French Dark Sky Compliance (Light Pollution Controls)

Under regional ecological preservation guidelines across the Gironde basin, outdoor linear luminaires installed in urban margins or parklands must restrict Upward Light Output Ratio (ULOR) to under 1%. Furthermore, maximum allowed Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) for external night illumination is capped at 3000K (with 2700K preferred near natural waterways to protect nocturnal insect and avian fauna).

Our factory supplies customized COB LED strips featuring tight 3-step MacAdam ellipse binning in 2200K, 2700K, and 3000K warm white options, pre-assembled in 45-degree downward angled aluminum extrusions equipped with integrated low-profile PIR motion switches.

Direct Procurement Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions by Bordeaux Importers & Contractors

What compliance documentation is provided for French customs clearance and CSTB verification?

Every shipment dispatched from our Shenzhen manufacturing facility to the Port of Bordeaux or Paris CDG/Le Havre hub is accompanied by full CE, RoHS 2.0, FCC, and EMC test reports issued by accredited testing bodies. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) certification is critical for high-frequency motion sensor drivers to ensure they do not cause RF interference with local wireless networks or building management systems (BMS). Test reports are mapped to your specific purchase order numbers for seamless French customs (Douane) clearance.

How do your low-voltage 24V COB strips handle voltage drop on long architectural runs?

For long linear cove runs in hotel lobbies or estate halls, voltage drop can cause noticeable dimming at the far end of a single-feed strip. We solve this by engineering 24V Constant Current (CC) IC chips directly onto the flexible copper PCB (using 3oz double-sided rolled copper). This allows continuous single-feed runs up to 10–15 meters with less than 3% luminance decay, ensuring consistent foot-candle levels across the entire motion-triggered corridor.

Can you pre-cut, solder, and integrate motion sensors prior to factory export?

Yes. We provide full OEM/ODM assembly services. Instead of receiving standard 5-meter spools that require labor-intensive field soldering on job sites in Bordeaux, our factory can pre-cut LED strips to exact millimeter specifications, solder IP67 waterproof quick-connect cables, integrate inline PIR or radar motion modules, and seal the assemblies in custom silicone extrusions. Products arrive as plug-and-play kits complete with localized installation labels.

What is the standard production turnaround time and air/sea freight logistics to Nouvelle-Aquitaine?

Sample prototyping takes 3 to 5 business days. Standard mass production orders (5,000 to 20,000 meters) are completed in 12 to 15 business days. Express air freight (via DHL/FedEx to Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport BOD) delivers in 5 to 7 days, while consolidated DDP sea freight to Grand Port Maritime de Bordeaux or Marseille/Le Havre takes approximately 28 to 35 days, inclusive of import customs processing and local VAT/TVA handling.
