LED driver solutions
Endicott Research Group (ERG), an illumination power and control specialist, is developing light-emitting-diode (LED) driver solutions for the solid-state lighting (SSL) market.
Leveraging technology developed for its CCFL inverters and LED backlight drivers, ERG will introduce its family of Smart Force LED drivers that combine full-function power supplies with energy-efficient controllers for commercial, industrial, architectural and other SSL applications.
ERG's Smart Force SSL drivers will offer between 1W and 200W of unit power for driving single or multiple LED strings.
Standard features will include: universal input, from 85V to 277V at 50Hz or 60Hz; power factor correction of 0.90 or better to maximise circuit efficiency and minimise power consumption; a constant current with low ripple to eliminate thermal issues and visible artefacts; 90 per cent efficiency to help meet Energy Star ratings; an MTBF of more than 50,000 hours; and a three-year warranty.
Additional features to be available include triac dimming, colour temperature regulation, ambient light control and vacuum encapsulation for added durability.
IP67, UL1310 Class 2 and other key regulatory approvals are pending.
The drivers will be available as standard off-the-shelf products or in custom designs.
