Understanding the Functionality of a Dimmable LED Driver
Dimmable LED drivers allow you to easily adjust the brightness of your LED lights. Our mains dimmable drivers, also known as TRIAC can be used to dim LED strip tape along with an LED compatible dimmer switch or home automation lighting system.
What is an LED Driver?
An LED driver is similar to a transformer. It converts the incoming mains 230V into a lower 12V or 24V output. A transformer converts AC to AC (Alternating Current) and an LED driver converts AC into DC (Direct Current).
What are Dimmable LED Drivers?
Dimmable LED drivers are allow you to adjust the brightness of your LED lights with ease. By regulating the voltage supplied to the LEDs, these drivers ensure smooth transitions between different brightness levels, making your lighting more versatile and adaptable to various needs.
Whether you’re looking to create a cozy ambiance in your living room or need precise lighting for a commercial space, dimmable LED drivers provide a safe and efficient solution. They are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, offering a flexible and energy-efficient way to control LED lighting systems.
Benefits and Features
Dimmable LED drivers come with a host of benefits and features that make them an excellent choice for modern lighting solutions. They offer smooth dimming and brightening capabilities, ensuring that your LED lights perform consistently at any brightness level. With regulated voltage output, these drivers maintain the longevity and efficiency of your LED lights.
They are compatible with various types of LED lights, including LED strips and panels, making them highly versatile. Additionally, dimmable LED drivers are energy-efficient and cost-effective, helping you save on electricity bills. They can also be integrated with voice-controlled systems such as Lightwave for seamless operation and are compatible with both trailing edge and leading edge dimmers. Whether you need constant voltage or constant current output, our wide selection of dimmable LED drivers have you covered.
Types of LED Drivers
When it comes to LED drivers, there are several types to choose from, each designed to meet specific lighting needs. Constant Voltage LED Drivers provide a regulated DC output voltage, typically 12V or 24V, making them ideal for applications like LED strip tape and smaller LED cabinet lights.
On the other hand, Constant Current LED Drivers deliver a regulated DC output current, measured in milliamps (mA), which are used for more specialised LED fittings. Dimmable LED Drivers are specifically designed to allow for the adjustment of LED light brightness and work seamlessly with LED compatible dimmer switches such as the Varilight V-Pro range.
Applications and Uses for LED Lights
Dimmable LED drivers are incredibly versatile and find applications across various settings. In residential lighting, they help create flexible and energy-efficient lighting solutions, perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens. In commercial spaces like offices, restaurants, and retail stores, dimmable LED drivers are used to set the right ambiance and adjust lighting levels according to different needs.
Industrial settings such as warehouses and factories also benefit from the efficient and adjustable lighting provided by these drivers. Industrial lighting tends to use more specialised dimming control systems such as DALI, this is due to the higher wattage lighting loads that are involved.
Dimmable LED drivers are commonly used to power LED strip lights, which are popular for under-cabinet lighting, stair lighting, and other decorative applications, adding a touch of elegance and functionality to any space.
Technical Specifications to Consider
Dimmable LED drivers come with specific technical specifications that ensure their optimal performance. They typically operate with an input voltage range of 180-240V AC and provide an output voltage of either 12V or 24V DC. The output current is measured in milliamps (mA), and the power output is quantified in watts (W).
These drivers offer a dimming range that usually spans from 10% to 100%, allowing for precise control over light intensity. They are compatible with both trailing edge and leading edge dimmers, making them versatile for various dimming systems.
If you're dimming LED strip tape, you need to calculate the total wattage of your load, for example:
2 metres of 15W/M LED tape equals 30W, which make a 30W driver suitable. If your LED lights are 24V, you choose a 24V LED driver to power it. If you need any additional help or would like our lighting experts to double check your calculations, just get in touch with us here.
