A single chip, not a cluster of diodes

COB stands for chip on board. Instead of a ring of separate LEDs, the light comes from one continuous emitter under a single phosphor layer. The difference shows in the beam: one clean shadow rather than the faint multiple shadows a cluster throws, and colour that holds together across the whole cone.

The range runs 8W to 12W, all with controlled beams for accent and display work.

COB or standard SMD

	COB	Standard SMD
Shadows	One clean shadow	Faint multiple shadows
Beam control	Tighter, more directional	Wider, more diffuse
Suits	Accent, display, detail	General room lighting
On the ceiling	A single bright point	An even glow

Where the difference is worth paying for

In a gallery, a shop, or a room with a feature wall, a clean single shadow matters. In a bedroom ceiling nobody looks at, it does not. Use COB where light quality is on show and standard downlights where the room just needs lighting.

Wattage is not brightness

The 8W in this family puts out as much light as the 12W. That is normal, and it is why lumens are the number worth comparing rather than watts. Watts tell you the running cost; lumens tell you how much light you get.

Spacing for the effect you want

Because the beam is tighter than a general downlight, place these closer together for even coverage, or deliberately far apart for distinct pools. Mixing both in one room rarely works — decide the effect first, then the spacing.
