What is COB LED strip light and why a IP68 watepoor is neccessary?

COB LED strip light refers to a type of LED strip light that utilizes COB (Chip-on-Board) technology. In COB LED strip lights, multiple LED chips are mounted directly onto a circuit board, resulting in a more compact and efficient lighting solution.

The advantage of COB technology is that it allows for a higher LED density, which means that more LED chips can be mounted onto a smaller area, resulting in brighter and more uniform lighting. COB LED strip lights also tend to have a higher color rendering index (CRI), which means that they are able to display colors more accurately and vividly.

COB LED strip lights come in a variety of colors and color temperatures, and are available in both waterproof and non-waterproof versions. They are also flexible, which makes them easy to install and suitable for a wide range of applications, including architectural lighting, signage lighting, and decorative lighting.

IP68 waterproofing is necessary for LED strip lights that are intended for outdoor or underwater use, as it provides protection against the ingress of water and other liquids, which can cause damage to the LED strip lights and create safety hazards.

  1. Protection against water damage: IP68 waterproofing ensures that LED strip lights are protected against water damage, including damage caused by rain, splashing, or immersion in water.
  2. Safety: Water and electricity are a dangerous combination, and exposed electrical components can create safety hazards for people and animals. IP68 waterproofing ensures that LED strip lights are safe to use in wet or humid environments.
  3. Longevity: Exposure to water and other liquids can cause LED strip lights to malfunction or fail prematurely. IP68 waterproofing helps to extend the lifespan of LED strip lights by protecting them from water damage.
  4. Versatility: IP68 waterproofing makes LED strip lights suitable for use in a wide range of outdoor and underwater applications, including pool lighting, landscape lighting, and boat lighting.

So IP68 waterproofing is necessary for LED strip lights that are intended for outdoor or underwater use, as it provides protection against water damage, safety hazards, and premature failure. By ensuring that LED strip lights are waterproofed to the highest standard, manufacturers can provide customers with a reliable and long-lasting lighting solution that is safe to use in wet or humid environments.
