Why Professionals Choose COB for Halloween

COB (Chip-on-Board) LED strips deliver dense, continuous light with no visible diodes. They are ideal for clean, cinematic effects across façades, props, and path lighting. Pair with 24V constant-voltage to minimize voltage drop on longer runs.

• Uniform, dot free output for premium finishes and close view applications.

• Smooth, flicker free dimming when paired with compatible 5-in-1 drivers.

• IP rated options (e.g., IP67) for outdoor installations and fog/mist environments.

• Bulk & batch consistency to maintain color/CRI across multi-site rollouts

Create On-Theme Effects Without Gimmicks

Use programmatic dimming curves to simulate lightning flashes, flickering lanterns, or a slow heartbeat glow. With the right driver, you can integrate TRIAC/ELV, 0–10V, PWM, or DALI into existing control systems—or orchestrate scenes via DMX for larger attractions.

Installer Tip: Keep low voltage DC runs short or upsize wire gauge to limit voltage drop, feed long linear runs from both ends when feasible.

Recommended Products for Halloween Installs

Application Ideas for Seasonal Environments

• Retail Windows & Merch Walls: Edge-light panels, coves, and product risers with uniform COB glow.
• Architectural Outlines: Highlight cornices and entrances to guide foot traffic.
• Walkthrough Attractions: Pulse pathways and prop silhouettes for cinematic beats.
• Hospitality & Events: Scene-based dimming for reveal moments and photo ops.

Specification Snapshot

Quick Sizing Example

For a 24V COB LED strip rated at 3 W/ft over a 32 ft total run:
3 × 32 = 96 W. Add a 20% safety margin → approximately 115 W recommended driver capacity (round up to the next available model). For runs beyond roughly 16 – 20 ft, consider feeding power from both ends or using multiple drivers to maintain brightness uniformity and reduce voltage drop.

For longer installations or higher-power applications, we also offer 48V COB LED strips, which allow for longer, more stable runs with improved efficiency and reduced power loss. These are ideal for large-scale commercial or architectural projects.

FAQ

Can I control these lights with my existing dimmers or building controls?

Yes. Choose a driver that matches your control method (TRIAC/ELV, 0–10V, PWM, or DALI). For larger venues, DMX via compatible interfaces is common.

Are the outdoor strips truly weather-resistant?

Use the IP rating that matches your exposure. IP67 models are sealed for wet environments; ensure proper end cap sealing and strain relief during installation.

What wire gauge should I use for long runs?

It depends on total current and distance. For longer runs, upsize wire gauge and/or split the run with feeds at both ends to reduce voltage drop.

Do you offer bulk pricing for multi-site projects?

Yes. See Wholesale Program or contact sales for batch-matched inventory.
