LED Light Drivers

What is an LED Driver?

An LED driver (also called an LED light driver) is a device that provides power to an LED light fitting. It is responsible for converting the mains power into the correct voltage and current that is usable by the LED light. LED light drivers have two types of output: either constant voltage or constant current.

LED Light Drivers Tips

• Most LED lights require 12V or 24V DC LED drivers. Make sure that the driver you purchase correctly matches your light.
• Likewise, if dimming is required, determine what type of dimmer is needed: DALI, 1-10V, 0-10V, trailing or leading edge. 
• It is critical not to overload LED drivers. The load on an LED driver should not exceed 80% of its maximum rated capacity.
• LED drivers work much less efficiently in very high temperatures.
• For outdoor lights, make sure that the LED driver is IP rated.
