SCOB Beats COB on Lumens per Watt, Not on How the Line Looks
SCOB vs COB LED strip compared on our spec tables: 130–140 lm/W vs ~90, driver count per run, unlit and lit looks, bending, color bins and channel fit.

How Much Does LED Strip Cost to Run? Watts per Foot to Dollars per Year
LED strip electricity cost on commercial jobs: watts per foot, the driver's loss, real hours and 2026 commercial rates by state, three jobs priced per year.
LED Strip Lifespan Is a Light Number, Not an Hour Number
L70 at 50,000 hours means 70 percent of the light, under test conditions. What LM-80 measures, how TM-21 projects, and what the number leaves out on a strip.
Rated or Delivered? How to Compare LED Strip Lumens per Watt
LED strip lumens per watt runs from 30 to 190 across our builds. Compare efficacy only at the same level, build, CRI and test method, then add driver losses.
How Many Lumens per Foot Does a Cove Actually Need?
Cove lumens per foot start from the light you need on the ceiling. Work back through setback, lip, finish and diffuser losses to a strip tier and driver load.
