LED or COB? Helping Choose Promotional Flashlights

 Promoting your business with promotional flashlights might help you reach new clients and remind them of your brand. In recent years, flashlight technology has progressed, leaving marketers wondering what type of promotional flashlight to give out at conventions and tradeshows. LED or COB? Let PrintGlobe illuminate the topic.

LEDs emit light.

Promotional flashlights now use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of incandescent light bulbs since they are more efficient. When current passes through semiconductor LEDs, they emit light. LEDs outperform incandescent lamps in energy efficiency, lifespan, compactness, and switching speed (think strobe effects).

On-board chip

COB arrays are numerous tiny LEDs placed in a round pattern to dissipate heat better than a single bigger LED while maintaining luminous performance. Many are cylinder-shaped, making them ideal for advertising flashlights. Their yellow light gives them the name “corn cob lights.” The technology once used on computer chips and electronic packaging is now highly efficient for flashlights.
