In order to make your own COB LED strip light, you will need to cut the tape and then solder the wires. Here are some tips on how to do it:
1, Cut the tape at the desired length with scissors or a knife. The best way is to cut it into segments of equal length (if possible).
2, Remove all the protective paper from each segment with tweezers or your fingers. If any of them remain stuck on the surface of your strip, use a piece of sandpaper or a knife to remove them carefully so as not to damage your strip.
3, Twist each segment until they come off one by one (the procedure is similar to when removing a single piece from its backing paper). Once all your segments are removed from their backing paper, you should have something like this:
4, Now connect two segments together by twisting them so that there is no gap between them - this will form one continuous segment that can be bent around corners, etc. This can be done in various ways depending on how many segments you want to connect together.

Yes! We accept custom-made COB LED strip lights, which can be made according to your specification. Such as the size of the strip, the power of the strip, the color temperature, and the length of the strip.

Yes, it is possible to dim COB LED Strip Light, but the LED chip is not dimmable. But if you want to control the brightness, you can use some dimmer switches or DMX controllers at the end of the strip lighting.

The lifespan of COB LED Strip Light depends on how often you use it and how well you maintain it. If you use it daily for more than 10 hours a day and do not clean it regularly, then the lifespan will be much shorter than if used less frequently and maintained properly with dusting and cleaning tools such as brush dusters, etc.

SMD (Surface Mounted Diode)
SMD is a technology used to mount LEDs onto the circuit board. The surface of the chip is mounted on the substrate and then covered with resin. This is the most common way for small-sized LEDs to be mounted. The advantages of SMD are that it is easy to assemble and can be manufactured at low costs. But it has some disadvantages such as light loss, heat dissipation, and aging problems.
COB (Chip On Board)
COB LED is an advanced technology compared with SMD LED. COB LED has an aluminum die-cast shell on its surface and the chip itself sits inside the shell, which makes it a more integrated design than SMD LED. It has better heat dissipation performance than SMD LED because all the parts are connected together by PCB board rather than only being connected by solder joints on its surface as SMD LED. Compared with SMD LED, COB LED also has a much larger light source size and power density due to its large area of light source chip, so it also saves a lot of space and simplifies installation.

COB LED Strip Light is a kind of miniaturized LED strip light. It can be used as general lighting in the house and garden or used as decorative lighting in commercial buildings or hotels.
Compared with traditional single-color LED strips, COB LED strip light has more advantages: high brightness, long lifespan, easy to use, small size, and energy saving. Therefore, it is widely used in hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, and other places.
As for whether COB LED Strip light needs a LED aluminum profile for heat dissipations? The answer is yes. COB chip is directly connected with the PCB board by soldering wire instead of mounting on the heat sink separately like traditional COB chip products. Therefore, it needs to have an appropriate cooling effect in order to ensure its working life without any problems caused by overheating.
