Outdoor LED Light Drivers

What is an Outdoor LED Driver?

An outdoor LED driver (also called an outdoor LED light driver) is a water resistant device that provides power to an exterior 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.

Outdoor LED Light Drivers Tips

• Most outdoor 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 your outdoor LED driver. The load on an driver should not exceed 80% of its maximum rated capacity.
• Outdoor LED drivers work much less efficiently in very high temperatures.
• Ensure that the IP rating of the LED driver correctly matches how much water it will come in contact with.
