Driver-free COB LEDs, also known as Chip-on-Board LEDs, are an LED lighting technology that does not require traditional LED drivers. Driver-free COB LEDs work by integrating multiple LED chips directly onto a circuit board, resulting in a compact and efficient lighting solution.
Here's the gist of how it works:
1. LED chip integration: Multiple LED chips (often of the same or different colors) are placed closely and bonded directly to the circuit board. This integration eliminates the need for a separate LED package, reducing the overall size and cost of the LED module.
2. Direct power supply: Driver-free COB LEDs are designed to be powered directly by a suitable voltage source, such as a constant current power supply, instead of using an external LED driver. The integrated LED chips are connected in parallel or series configurations to meet input voltage requirements.
3. Thermal management: Heat dissipation is an important aspect of LED performance and lifetime. Driver-free COB LEDs typically integrate a heat sink or thermal management system directly into the board. This helps to dissipate heat efficiently, ensuring optimal operating conditions for the LED chips.
4. Luminaire design: Due to the compactness of the driver-free COB LED, the luminaire design can be simplified. Lighting fixtures are sleeker and lighter without bulky LED drivers. In addition, the LED chips on the circuit board are placed in close proximity, which increases light uniformity and improves color mixing.
5. Control and Dimming: Driver-free COB LEDs can be controlled and dimmed using compatible dimming systems. By adjusting the input voltage or current, the brightness of the LED module can be varied, providing flexibility for lighting applications.
In general, the working principle of the driver-free COB LED is to integrate multiple LED chips into one circuit board without a separate LED driver. This approach offers advantages such as compactness, improved thermal management and simplified luminaire design, while maintaining efficient and reliable lighting performance.
