High-voltage COB LED strip can be a practical option when a project needs long, continuous lighting runs and a simplified system layout. The selection still needs to be based on the installation environment, local electrical requirements, control expectations and the exact product specification.
What the high-voltage COB catalogue covers
The COB product catalogue includes high-voltage, drive-free and intelligent high-voltage series. The listed models use 110V, 127V or 220V input options, depending on the selected version. The high-voltage range includes 8mm and 10mm formats, while the catalogue also shows IP65 versions for projects that need a higher level of environmental protection.
For example, the high-voltage series includes 8mm models with 240 to 480 LEDs per metre and 10mm models with 480 to 640 LEDs per metre. The drive-free range includes models from 8mm to 10mm, with listed power levels from 11W to 16W per metre. Intelligent high-voltage options extend the choice to 12W to 22W per metre models, including 576, 640 and 864 LEDs per metre.
Drive-free series: simplify the system layout
A drive-free COB strip is designed around the selected high-voltage input range. It can be a useful option when the project requires a clean lighting line and the installation is planned around compatible accessories and connectors. The catalogue shows several physical formats, including different plug and cable arrangements, so the mechanical detail should be considered alongside the electrical specification.
Choose a drive-free approach only after confirming the local supply voltage, installation method, required run length and service access. The strip, connectors, end caps and mounting method must be selected as one system.
Intelligent high-voltage series: add the right control plan
The intelligent high-voltage range is intended for projects where the lighting specification also needs to consider control and scene requirements. The catalogue includes 8mm and 10mm versions, plus RGB options. The right control solution depends on the selected strip, input voltage, controller compatibility and the desired project behaviour.
Five checks before specifying high-voltage COB strip
- Input compatibility: verify the exact 110V, 127V or 220V version required for the project.
- Installation environment: compare the required IP rating with the actual indoor, semi-outdoor or protected location.
- Optical target: review colour temperature, CRI, LED density and output for the selected model.
- Control requirement: define whether the project needs a straightforward on/off layout, dimming or an intelligent/RGB solution.
- Safety and compliance: have the system installed by qualified personnel in accordance with applicable local electrical codes.
High-voltage lighting should be specified as a complete system, not as a strip alone. Talk to BROTHERLED about model selection, accessories and a project-specific configuration.
