A look at the bare PCB of COB LED strip

A close look at the very densely packed LEDs in the COB version of LED tape.

I may sound a little stuffed up in this video.  I had a cold.

This makes me wonder how long it will take for them to start using the flipchip variant in "regular" leds like the 5mm round ones.

How easy would it be to cut the copper between sections and convert it to series for higher voltage / lower current?

I have been Looking at that LED cob tape for a project. How flexible is that to bend the buss bar / unlit section around 1/4 inch pencil steel?

You can get addressable variants, though they're really expensive! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001808800384.html e.g.

What’s the bend radius like? If you wanted to spell out words in cursive script, what size letters (tall) would you get to get a good effect? I guess you could break the leds on the run if you wanted a dark section,but would that cause issues?

If the chips get any smaller you're going to need a microscope video camera!
