In the competitive world of LED lighting, not all COB (Chip-on-Board) LED strips are created equal. At first glance, many LED strips on the market may seem to share similar specs—like the popular 528 LEDs per metre format. But when you put them side by side with Hi-Line's 14-15W/m COB LED strips, the difference is night and day. So, what makes Hi-Line's strips the brightest and most efficient in their class? Let's dive into the details.
A Closer Look at Our LED Chips
The brightness of an LED strip is not just about the number of LEDs per metre. While many manufacturers use the "528 LEDs per metre" label, it’s the type of LED chip, the production process, and the quality control that make all the difference. Hi-Line LED strips use encapsulated Epistar chips, widely recognised for their efficiency and high lumen output. For our Value Series, we also occasionally use Sanan chips, which still deliver a reliable performance suitable for a variety of applications.
But, it's not merely the brand name that ensures quality—it's about how you use it. At Hi-Line, our engineering team works tirelessly to specify, control, and test every step of the production process. This attention to detail ensures that the LEDs in our COB strips are consistently delivering the maximum possible brightness and efficiency.
Different Configurations for Different Needs
It’s important to note that not all 528 LEDs per metre COB strips are the same. Hi-Line offers different configurations, including our high-performance 14-15W/m single colour COB strip and other versions like the 10W per metre model, which is less bright but suitable for different applications. The difference lies in the chips we use and how we integrate them. The 14-15W/m version is where Hi-Line truly shines, offering unmatched brightness and efficiency.

Compare and See the Difference
We understand that LED lighting is a hands-on industry. Seeing is believing, which is why we encourage customers to compare any other 528 LEDs per metre COB LED strip with our Hi-Line COB strip. Place them next to each other, and you will see for yourself: other LED strips simply don’t match up. The brightness and consistency of Hi-Line's LEDs are unparalleled, making them ideal for professional applications where quality is non-negotiable.
The secret lies not only in our choice of chips but also in how we integrate and encapsulate these chips into our COB technology. Proper encapsulation not only boosts brightness but also extends the lifespan of the LEDs, ensuring that the light output remains strong and consistent over time.
It’s Not Just About the Brand—It’s About Expertise
There’s a reason why Hi-Line's products continue to set benchmarks in the LED industry. It’s not simply about using well-known LED chip brands like Epistar or Sanan; it’s about the expertise and engineering knowledge that goes into specifying, integrating, and quality-controlling these chips. Our engineers understand every nuance of LED lighting and work to fine-tune each component to deliver peak performance.
Always Ahead of the Curve
We take pride in staying at the forefront of LED innovation. As of today, we’re confident that you won’t find a COB LED strip that can outperform our single colour 528 LEDs per metre strip in brightness and efficiency. But we’re not stopping there—if something better comes along, you can count on Hi-Line to be the first to bring it to market. Not only that, we ensure it’s offered at the best possible price, giving our customers unbeatable value.
