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.

OEM/ODM Smart COB LED Strip Manufacturer & Exporter for Gothenburg

Industry Whitepaper

Next-Generation COB LED Strip Technology for Gothenburg’s Urban & Architectural Ecosystem

A comprehensive technical guide for Swedish lighting designers, electrical wholesalers (el-grossister), and OEM fixture manufacturers seeking high Information Gain, thermal longevity, and eco-design compliance.

Eliminating Hotspots with Chip-on-Board (COB) Flip-Chip Encapsulation

Traditional Surface Mounted Device (SMD) LED strips rely on discrete plastic packages housing individual diodes spaced 4mm to 15mm apart. When installed in shallow Nordic linear aluminum profiles or recessed ceiling coves, SMD strips produce dark spots and glares (spotting effect) that degrade Scandinavian minimalist design aesthetics.

Our direct-to-board COB technology mounts 320 to 600 flip-chip LEDs directly onto a flexible copper substrate, covered by a continuous linear phosphor silicone extrusion layer. This results in a seamless, unbroken beam angle of 180°, rendering diffuse profile covers unnecessary and allowing fixture depths as thin as 3mm without visible spotting.

For Gothenburg’s architectural projects—ranging from commercial office retrofits along Kungsportsavenyn to hospitality developments in Lindholmen Science Park—our COB LED strips offer an unmatched color rendering index (CRI Ra > 90 / Ra > 95, R9 > 80), ensuring natural wooden surfaces, textile textures, and architectural brickwork retain authentic visual depth under artificial lighting.

Engineering Benchmark: COB vs. Traditional SMD

Why Nordic lighting specifyers are transitioning entirely to Chip-on-Board technology:

Zero-Hotspot Linearity: Continuous ribbon phosphor eliminates visual diode pixelation.
Enhanced Thermal Dissipation: Flip-chip die attached directly to 3oz double-sided rolled copper PCB reduces junction thermal resistance by 35%.
Mechanical Flexibility: No gold wire bonding; elimination of gold-wire fracture risks during tight-radius bending down to 10mm.
Smart Control Integration: Native dim-to-warm and CCT tunable white options compatible with Casambi, DALI-2, and KNX.
