In fact, for this problem, we can analyze the structure, power and use of LED lamp beads and LED patches, so as to obtain the most objective comparison:

What is the difference between led lamp beads and patches? Which is better?

First of all, LED lamp beads are a general term.

According to the power size: it can be divided into low power and high power (in the industry, lights above 0.5W are generally called high-power lights)

According to the shape: can be divided into in-line type and patch type

The in-line LED lamp bead is a plug-in lamp bead like a hat, and the SMD LED lamp bead is a flat SMD lamp bead. The difference between the in-line type and the SMD type is as follows:

In the case of using the same light-emitting chip, there is no difference between the two, but the process difference: the DIP plug-in process is used for the in-line plug-in, and the SMD chip technology is used for the patch, and the grade is higher.

The power of the LED lamp beads used in the in-line type is larger, while the power of the LED chip is smaller. The solder joint of ordinary LED lamp beads is larger than that of the patch, and the angle of the lamp bead can be made very small (the light is more concentrated, the radiation is far, but the irradiation range is limited). The patch angle is made larger, and the heat dissipation and The stability will be much better. Since there is no reflector and the low transmittance of silica gel, the luminous flux will be lower.

The led lamp bead plug-in is mainly used for: Christmas lights, Great Wall light strips, ceiling lights, downlights, flashlights, Xiaolu lamps, etc. The patch is mainly used for: soft and hard light strips, light strips, fluorescent tubes, corn lamps, table lamps.

Summary: Both have advantages and disadvantages. When choosing two different lighting products, it depends on the requirements: functional lighting, mood lighting, or general lighting. Not to say which is better, just to see which place is more suitable for use
