Are LED corn bulbs safe?

Most of the LED bulbs come with a warning of using the bulb in the fully enclosed fixture. Our bulbs are rated as safe to be used in the enclosed fixtures for both commercial and industrial applications.

What is a corn cob bulb?

Believe it or not, Corn Bulbs are actually named after corn on the cob! This is because of their corn and kernel-like appearance. Instead of having kernels like an ear of corn, they are made up of individual LED lights. Each Corn Bulb can have anywhere between 80 and 108 individual LED lights depending on the bulb.

What’s the difference between COB and LED?

COB LED light source packaging technology is a direct chip package on the board, COB has improved light efficiency, improved glare effect of LED lights, and reduced light loss. With COB packaging technology, labor and manufacturing costs are 5% less than SMD.

What is a COB LED light bulb?

A COB light is a type of LED light, with COB standing for Chip-On-Board. COB lights are essentially an array of LED chips that are tightly packed together and bonded to a substrate such as silicon carbide. A much brighter light source can be created using a much smaller light.

Why would an LED bulb explode?

When there is too much electrical or thermal stress, your LED bulb can explode. This can be caused by voltage surges or heat accumulation. LED bulb explosions happen more often with cheap low-quality LEDs.

What are LED corn bulbs used for?

Corn lights are designed as an energy efficient replacement to high intensity discharge (HID) lamps and SON lamps. They use a large arrangement of LEDs on their metal structure to provide a large amount of light.

What is an LED corn light used for?

LED corn lamps are a great solution for highway lighting, street lights, and bollard pathway lighting, among a host of other applications.

Can LED bulbs be installed horizontally?

When the bulb is installed in the headlight, these diodes should be aligned horizontally at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. Some LED bulbs have two diodes on each side, with one slightly above the other. Most high-quality LEDs will have alignment lines that help you to install them correctly into the headlight housing.

Are COB LED lights good?

While COB LEDS do provide an excellent light intensity, they’re not exactly the best when it comes to spread, because COB LEDs are a single-point light source (meaning all light comes from a single point in space).

Which is better COB LED or SMD LED?

Although a COB LED is efficient, an SMD LED has an even greater level of efficiency. That’s because more lumens are produced per watt. In other words, you’ll receive more light with less wattage. An SMD LED also produces a broader light beam, which means the light doesn’t need as large of a heat sink as a COB LED does.

Are COB lights good for home?

As a general rule of thumb, COB LED lights are higher-quality light sources. You can expect cleaner and crisp light. This makes COB LED lights especially helpful in high-ceiling rooms.

Which is better Cree or COB LED?

Cree LEDs produce a fair amount of heat for a single chip but can disperse that heat easily. COB LEDs produce a similar amount of heat but as a harder time dispersing that heat. That means Cree LEDs may have a longer lifespan than COB LEDs depending on how much use they get.
