Are COB LEDs the Next Big Thing?
It all comes down to the economics of it all. You get all of the benefits that we have come to demand from the LED fixtures, such as:
-
low cost of operation
-
long life of the product（Lifespan >50,000hours)
-
less maintenance
and all of this with a really good reproduction of the incandescent or discharge lamp that they are replacing. The cost of producing COB LEDs is coming down, which is making producing fixtures with COB LEDs a lot more viable. With that being said, we are also going to see more of these COB-powered products replacing older, less efficient LED fixtures as time goes on.
It is all pretty amazing that, in such a short time, the lighting industry has changed so much. Watching and working on the constant evolution of the entertainment and architectural lighting industry has been amazing. So, when people ask me if I think COB LEDs are the future, all I can say is that, for right now, it looks that way.
