Enclosed LED driver

dimmable

An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a solid state device, or semiconductor, which converts electricity passed through it into visible light. To maintain the light output, colour, efficiency and maximise the life of an LED, three factors must be controlled: 1. The manufacturing process and composition of the LED itself 2. Thermal management of the heat generated by the LED 3. The electrical supply to the LED The driver is the device used to control the electrical supply to the LED. The majority of luminaires in the Eatons LED ranges require an LED driver. Some luminaires are supplied complete with the appropriate driver, whilst others indicate on the product pages if a driver is needed. Driver Types There are essentially two basic types of driver, those supplying a constant current and those supplying a constant voltage. These are then subdivided by other capabilities such as dimming or colour changing. Within the Eatons range there is a wide selection of drivers offering different features and characteristics to provide the right product for the application. There is a choice of constant current or voltage outputs, different levels of Ingress Protection, Dimming methods and Colour Changing versions as well as different physical sizes.
