Technology and quality

Tested at the bench, not in the brochure

A COB strip fails in three places: the phosphor line, the solder joint, and the reel. Each one has a test before the batch leaves the building.

Test 01

Aging test

Every batch is run lit before it is packed.

Reels and boards are powered for an aging run before packing so a phosphor or solder fault shows up at the bench rather than on site.

Test 02

Boards cycle between hot and cold to test the solder joint.

Samples move between high and low temperature to check that the solder joint and the PCB coating survive the swing a fixture sees in service.

Test 03

Reels are pulled to catch a weak solder point or a lifted chip.

Finished reels are rewound under tension, which surfaces a joint that only looks sound until it is flexed on the reel.

The same six fields appear on every product page. These are the definitions we quote against.

LEDs / m: Density of the COB line. Read it with watts per metre — the two decide the light level together.
Cut interval: The shortest length the strip can be cut and still work. Set your run length against this number.
PCB width: 3 mm to 30 mm depending on density. The extrusion has to take the width plus clearance.
Feed length: How far one feed can carry the run. 48V boards hold 20 m from one end; 12V reels stay at 5 m.
CRI: Ra > 90 across the standard white range, Ra > 80 on the mains voltage series. Colour and RGB strips are not rated for CRI.
CCT: 2700K, 3000K, 4000K and 6000K as standard, with 3500K on selected models and 2700K–6500K on tunable white.

PCB, chips and phosphor are checked against the ordered bin and width before a reel is built.

Density, cut interval and coating follow the model sheet for that reel or board.

Aging, thermal shock and rewind checks are run on the batch before it is released.

Reels are labelled with model, voltage, CCT and cut interval so the site team can match them.
