Yeah but LED strips are less efficient in general. The appeal of the COB systems is that they have high Lumen / Watt ratios, drawbacks are the intensity and of course the cooling. I had some smoldered plexiglass from these COBs as the heat darkened it and the darker it got the more heat it absorbed. Pretty dangerous, so I also tend to use more smaller lights nowadays.
