Different Types of LED Drivers

There are many types of LED drivers. The specific type depends on the working principle, application scenarios, functional features, etc. Hope it helps everyone understand quickly.

Such as industrial and mining lights, tunnel lights, warehouse lighting

Such as LED downlights, track lights, panel lights, etc.

Industrial Lighting

Commercial Lighting

Application Scenarios

Advantages

High efficiency: High energy efficiency, suitable for larger power LED systems.

Protect LED: By providing a constant current, it avoids LED damage caused by current fluctuations and extends the life of the lamp.

Stability: Ensure consistent lighting brightness, suitable for industrial and commercial locations with higher requirements.

Constant Current LED Driver

Constant current drivers drive LEDs by maintaining a fixed current, ensuring stable output current even if the input voltage changes. They are usually suitable for applications that require strict current control to avoid LED damage caused by current fluctuations.

Advantages

Decorative Lighting

Indoor Lighting

Such as LED light strips, neon lights, luminous characters

Such as low-voltage fixtures and light strip systems in home lighting.

Application Scenarios

Strong compatibility: Common 12V or 24V voltage allows this type of driver to be used in a variety of LED lamps.

Flexible installation: Suitable for decorative lighting that requires multi-point installation, easy to install and configure.

Easy to use in parallel: Supports multiple lights in parallel, suitable for large area or long-distance lighting applications.

Constant voltage drivers provide a constant voltage to LEDs and are often used in parallel-connected LED strips and modules. They are usually suitable for low-voltage LED lighting applications, such as 12V or 24V LED systems.

Constant Voltage LED Driver

Advantages

Such as restaurants, hotels, conference rooms, and exhibition halls, require dimmable lighting systems.

Commercial Lighting

Architectural Lighting

Such as restaurants, hotels, conference rooms, and exhibition halls, require dimmable lighting systems.

Application Scenarios

Advantages

Wide compatibility: Supports a variety of dimming methods (such as PWM, 0-10V, TRIAC) and adapts to a variety of control systems.

Energy saving: Save energy by adjusting brightness and reducing power consumption.

Flexible control: Provide more flexible light environment control to meet the lighting needs of different occasions.

Dimmable LED Driver

Dimmable drivers allow the brightness of LED fixtures to be changed by adjusting the driver's output and are widely used in indoor lighting, supporting brightness control through various dimming technologies (such as PWM, 0-10V, DALI, TRIAC).

Outdoor Smart Lighting

Smart Home Lighting

Street lighting systems for smart cities.

Integrate with IoT devices to achieve voice control, remote control and automated adjustment.

Application Scenarios

Advantages

Intelligent control: Supports remote control, timing functions, automatic dimming, etc. to enhance user experience.

Energy saving and environmental protection: Reduce unnecessary energy consumption by optimizing usage time and brightness.

Strong integration: Can be seamlessly connected with other smart devices and home systems, and supports multiple communication protocols (such as Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi).

Smart drivers usually support advanced functions such as remote control, automatic dimming, and color temperature adjustment, and integrate IoT technology for smart lighting systems.

Smart LED Driver

Converts household power to low voltage DC to power LED lighting fixtures.

Convert AC power to DC power suitable for LED lamps in shopping malls, hotels and other places.

Application Scenarios

Home Lighting

Commercial Lighting

AC-DC LED Driver

This type of driver converts AC power to DC power, typically to convert household power supplies (such as 110V or 220V AC) into the low-voltage DC power required for LEDs.

Advantages

Wide application: Suitable for AC input of different voltages worldwide, with strong adaptability.

High conversion efficiency: Convert AC power to DC power efficiently, reducing energy loss.

Compact size: Suitable for various compact designs, especially luminaires in domestic or commercial applications.

such as port lighting, deck lighting, garden landscape lighting, billboard lighting, etc.

Such as lighting equipment around bathrooms, garden lights, street lights,and swimming pools.

Application Scenarios

Deck Lighting

Outdoor Waterproof Lighting

Long life: High-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, suitable for outdoor lamps exposed for a long time.

High safety: Reduce the risk of short circuit and leakage to ensure safety.

Advantages

High protection level: Usually with IP65, IP67 and other protection levels, waterproof and dustproof, and can work in harsh environments.

These drivers are designed for use outdoors or in humid environments and usually have protection ratings of IP65, IP67, etc., suitable for outdoor lighting applications such as garden lights, street lights, etc.

Waterproof LED Driver

Commercial and Industrial Lighting

Public Places Lighting

Provide lighting for critical areas such as corridors, emergency exits, evacuation passages, factories, and warehouses in buildings during power outages.

such as subway stations, airports, parking lots, etc., to ensure lighting during power outages.

Application Scenarios

Emergency LED driver with integrated battery

Ensure safety: Provide emergency lighting during power outages to ensure people can evacuate safely.

Automatic switching: Automatically switches to emergency mode when the main power supply fails, with quick response.

Independent power supply: Equipped with a built-in battery, it can maintain lighting for a certain period after a power outage, without the need for additional power supply support.

Advantages

Emergency LED Driver

Emergency drives have a built-in backup power supply or battery pack that can provide LED lights with short-term illumination when the main power supply fails, and are often used in emergency lighting systems.
