In today's cycling lighting field, COB LED technology is highly favored due to its unique advantages. It not only has the characteristics of high light efficiency and low energy consumption, but also can achieve uniform light distribution, providing riders with a clear view. So, what is COB LED? How is it used in cycling lighting? What changes will it bring?
We need to understand what COB LED is. COB, or Chip on Board, is a packaging technology that directly attaches LED chips to circuit boards. This technology makes the LED light source more concentrated and the light more uniform and soft. Compared with traditional SMD or plug-in LEDs, COB LEDs have higher light efficiency and better heat dissipation performance.
In the field of cycling lighting, the application of COB LED is mainly reflected in headlights, helmet lights, etc. These lamps usually need to have high brightness, long range, low energy consumption and other characteristics to meet the needs of night riding. And COB LED can meet these requirements. Taking headlights as an example, COB LED headlights have high brightness and long range, which can illuminate the road ahead, allowing riders to see the road conditions clearly at night. At the same time, due to its low energy consumption, COB LED lights do not consume too much power during use, thus extending the battery life. In addition, COB LED lights also have good waterproof performance and can be used normally even in rainy days.
In addition to headlights, COB LEDs are also widely used in helmet lights. Helmet lights are usually installed on the rider's helmet to illuminate the road ahead while alerting other pedestrians and vehicles to the presence of the rider. COB LED helmet lights also have the characteristics of high brightness and low energy consumption, and their lightweight design makes them more comfortable for riders to wear. Of course, the application of COB LED in the field of cycling lighting is not perfect. Due to its high light efficiency, COB LED lamps may produce glare in some cases, affecting the sight of other pedestrians and vehicles.
Therefore, when choosing COB LED lamps, riders need to pay attention to choosing the right angle and brightness to reduce the impact of glare. The application of COB LED in the field of cycling lighting has brought many conveniences to riders.
