SMD LEDs feature high brightness. Currently, the most common type of LED on the market is SMD LED. LEDs which use surface-mount technology have replaced the old technology of using lead wire during assembly. With SMT, more electronic devices can be installed in a small or narrow space efficiently. Also, the technology contributes to the automation assembly and welding of PCBs.

The improvement of COB LEDs has brought with it two significant merits. One advantage is that COB technology provides the possibility to miniaturize the luminaires and the light sources. The other advantage is COB LEDs allow precise control of the distribution of the light beam due to the absence of space between one LED module and another.

However, the limitation of COB technology is that the power rating of the luminaire needs to be installed, and it is possibly less than 50/70W. SMD LEDs are preferred in high power applications because they are more reliable and perform better than COB LEDs. Besides, SMD LEDs can be used in color changing light bulbs, while COB LEDs cannot. Hence, SMD LEDs still have a wider application range compared to COB LEDs.

Compared with traditional LEDs, SMD LEDs are lighter, thinner, shorter and smaller. Therefore, there are four influential advantages of SMD LEDs:

  • Miniaturization in Product Design: SMD LEDs save more space on the base-plate and have the capacity of using reduced components, which conforms to trends of product miniaturization.
  • Reducing Waste of Time, Effort, and Cost: Due to LED SMDs’tiny sizes, both production cost and processing time are declined, which makes the manufacturing process of SMD LEDs more efficient.
  • Longer Duration of Usage: SMD LEDs have a longer estimated lifespan, and it gives you more savings in maintenance costs.
  • Various Applications: SMD LEDs are better for a variety of uses, since the smaller the bulbs of LEDs are, the more versatile the applications of LEDs can be.

In conclusion, the main features of SMD LEDs are high durability, low power consumption and high standards of reliability and safety.
