The difference between COB led and traditional LED

COB (Chip on Board) LED and traditional LED lights differ primarily in their design and some performance characteristics:

Light Emission:

COB LEDs emit light over a larger surface area, creating a more uniform and softer light, while traditional LEDs have a more focused and directional light.

Heat Dissipation:

COB LEDs often have better heat dissipation due to their direct contact with the heatsink or PCB, which can extend their lifespan.

Manufacturing Cost:

COB LEDs can be more cost-effective to produce in large quantities due to reduced assembly complexity.

Durability:

COB LEDs are generally more robust against physical damage as the larger surface area distributes the impact better.

Lumens per Watt:

COB LEDs can provide more lumens per watt due to their efficient heat management, although this can vary based on the quality of the LED and the design.

Traditional LEDs can be replaced individually if they fail, whereas a failed COB LED may require the entire module to be replaced.

Both types of LEDs have their advantages depending on the specific lighting application and requirements.
