cheaper UV LED Panel lights (as you might find on Ebay and Amazon).

If you want to deliver high-impact UV glow effect events or sports activity then this is really important information. Please do not make the same mistake that so many of our customers have in the pursuit of low cost without clear information.
UV Gear floodlights are designed around the use of COB LED chips. This LED format offers a huge step up in power in comparison to LED panel lamps which use a multitude of low-output individual LEDs to “numerically” claim the same power output. But this is totally deceptive! Panel LED lamps just do not compare and do not have sufficient output to illuminate large spaces as needed in UV Sport arenas. Avoid the disappointment and don’t waste your money. Powerful and efficient floodlighting is a sensible investment. Just work through the table below to understand why!
Aspect | COB Light | Panel Light |
Light Output | High-intensity, focused light | Uniform, widespread light |
Efficiency | More efficient, consumes less power | Energy-efficient but slightly higher consumption |
Heat Management | May generate more heat, but well-managed | Less heat generation due to large surface area |
Lifespan | Long lifespan with durable materials | Long lifespan, though dependent on build quality |
Applications | High-intensity lighting (outdoor, warehouses, automotive) | General indoor lighting (offices, homes, etc.) |
Cost | Generally more expensive | Affordable and cost-effective |
Aesthetic Appeal | Less aesthetic appeal, functional | Sleek, modern design, blends into ceilings |
To get the same reach and intensity output as the UV Gear 150W UV Sport Floodlight, you would need to deploy 8 or more LED panel lights claiming 150W! That’s a lot of lamps, setup time and cables to manage! UV Gear COB floodlights are made for purpose. LED panel lights are a false economy for large area UV illumination. Put your faith in UV Gear - the European pioneers of UV GlowSports.
