Product Features & Advantages
Detailed technical advantages and real-world benefits for your project.
High Power COB LED Strip for Commercial Lighting
This high-power COB strip delivers 12W/m with 1250+ lumens per meter — bright enough to serve as primary commercial illumination, not just accent lighting. Brighter AC driver-free option for demanding spaces.
This strip is ideal for:
- Commercial cove lighting, office ambient lighting, and general business environments
- Hotel corridors, lobbies, guest rooms, and cove lighting applications
- Aluminum profile installations, ceiling details, and architectural feature lighting
- Retail shelf lighting, freezer display cases, and supermarket aisle illumination
High Power Output for Commercial Lighting
At 12W/m delivering 1250+ lumens per meter, this strip provides strong commercial-grade illumination — bright enough to replace traditional lighting fixtures in retail and hospitality applications. The wider 8mm PCB provides superior heat dissipation for sustained high-output operation.
We strongly recommend mounting in an aluminum profile for any run longer than 1 meter to ensure thermal management and extended lifespan.
Technical Specifications Explained
Lumen Output (1250 lm/m): At 12W/m with 100-110 lm/W efficacy, this strip delivers approximately 1250 lumens per meter — appropriate for general ambient lighting.
CRI RA80: RA80 meets industry standards for general commercial lighting and provides natural color rendering for most applications. For color-critical environments, consider our RA90 models.
AC220V: AC 220V direct connection eliminates the need for external LED drivers, simplifying installation and reducing system cost.
Honest Positioning in Our COB Range
To help you make the right choice:
| Model Type | Power | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Slim 3mm/5mm | 7-8 W/m | Narrow spaces, accent lighting |
| Standard 8mm 320-480 LED | 10-12 W/m | General commercial use |
| Double-row 12mm | 20 W/m | Bright cove and wall washing |
| Ultra-high 30mm | 40 W/m | Fluorescent replacement |
This product positioning: Mid — The practical sweet spot for most commercial projects.
Installation Best Practices
- Aluminum profile is MANDATORY — this power level requires heat sinking
- Use DC24V for runs over 2 meters to reduce voltage drop
- Power supply at 1.2× load — e.g., for 5m at 12W/m, use a 72W driver
- Dual-end feed for runs over 5 meters
- Never mount on flammable surfaces — metal substrate required
Packaging and Shipping
- Reel length: 10M per reel
- Master carton: 500 meters per carton
- Container capacity: approximately 55,000 meters per 20ft container
- Anti-static packaging with moisture absorbers protects COB chips during transit
- Clear batch labeling for traceability and color bin matching

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from importers, wholesalers, and project contractors about this product.
Standard MOQ is 3,000 meters per CCT (e.g., 3,000m of 3000K). For OEM orders with custom branding and packaging, MOQ is 5,000 meters per specification. Mixed color temperatures within the same order are welcome as long as each CCT meets MOQ.
Standard orders ship within 20–25 working days from order confirmation and deposit receipt. Custom OEM orders with special branding and packaging require 30–35 days. Exact delivery dates are confirmed before production starts.
Yes. We offer 1–2 meter evaluation samples — buyer covers the shipping cost only. For finished product samples with packaging, approximately USD 15 applies. All sample fees are fully refunded when a bulk order is placed.
At 12W/m, aluminum profile mounting is strongly recommended (mandatory for runs over 1 meter). The profile acts as a heat sink, keeping LED junction temperatures within safe limits and extending lifespan. Never mount high-power strips directly on wood, drywall, or plastic surfaces.
At 12W/m, a 5-meter run requires 60W. Use a driver rated at 1.2× the load for safety margin — 72W driver for 5m. For longer runs, split into multiple zones with separate drivers.
Correct. The AC 220V driver-free strip connects directly to mains voltage without any external LED driver or power supply. This simplifies installation, reduces component cost, and eliminates driver failure as a potential issue. You only need the strip and a qualified electrical connection to mains.
Yes, when properly installed by a qualified electrician. The strip is manufactured with full insulation and complies with CE and RoHS electrical safety standards. Always follow local electrical codes, install proper circuit protection (RCD/GFCI for wet areas), and ensure all connections are secured and sealed appropriately for the installation environment.
Yes. We offer full OEM services including logo printing on the PCB, custom packaging design, private labeling, retail-ready box packaging, custom barcode, and multi-language instruction cards. OEM MOQ starts at 5,000 meters per specification.
