Product Features & Advantages
Detailed technical advantages and real-world benefits for your project.
AC 220V Driver-Free COB LED Strip
This COB strip connects directly to AC 220V mains without any external LED driver, simplifying installation and reducing component cost. Perfect for long continuous runs, commercial retrofit projects, and applications where driver failure is a concern. Direct mains connection - no driver required.
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
- Kitchen cabinets, display cases, furniture accent lighting, and under-shelf illumination
AC 220V Driver-Free Design
This strip connects directly to 220V AC mains without any external LED driver or power supply. This design offers several practical advantages:
- Simplified installation — just connect to mains, no driver needed
- Lower component cost — no expensive LED driver to buy
- Longer continuous runs — up to 50 meters from a single power point
- Fewer failure points — driver failures are common; no driver means no driver failures
- Easy retrofit — direct replacement for existing mains-voltage lighting
For long facade installations, commercial cove lighting, and retrofit projects, AC driver-free strips are often the most practical choice.
Safety note: AC mains voltage installations must be performed by qualified electricians in compliance with local electrical codes.
Technical Specifications Explained
Lumen Output (1000 lm/m): At 10W/m with 100-110 lm/W efficacy, this strip delivers approximately 1000 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
- Qualified electrician required — AC mains installation must comply with local codes
- Install residual current device (RCD) on the power supply circuit for safety
- Cut only at marked 1-meter intervals — do not cut between marked points
- Seal cut ends with waterproof silicone for IP-rated installations
- Ground the aluminum profile if using metal mounting system
Packaging and Shipping
- Reel length: 100M per reel
- Master carton: 100 meters per carton
- Container capacity: approximately 60,000 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.
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.
All products come with CE and RoHS certification as standard. FCC certification is available for North American markets. ISO 9001 quality management certification applies to our entire factory. Full certificate documentation is provided for customs clearance.
