LED drivers for domestic/industrial installations

LED drivers
Sunpower's new indoor range of LED drivers is suitable for domestic, commercial and industrial installations.
Key to this range is the AC Dimming (or phase cut) LED Driver product, which features compatibility with ordinary TRIAC dimmers.
This is said to make one to 100 per cent dimmable LED lighting as easy to install as traditional conventional dimming lights.
Unlike earlier designs, these drivers require a simple leading-edge dimmer for dimming control, eliminating the need for external DC control circuits and additional installation rewiring.
The dimming LED Driver's output voltage and current variants give contractors a choice of easy-to-install LED driving options.
This extension to Sunpower's LED driver range comprises a new wave of the PCC Constant Current and PCV Constant Voltage Driver ranges, as well as the AC Dimming LED Drivers.
This allows an optimum mix of product outputs, voltages and functionality to fulfil projects of any size.
Designed with an easy-press cable lock and captive screw terminal arrangement to simplify installation, the drivers weigh from as little as 50g They offer 50,000 hours' service lifetime - over 11 years at 12 hours a day operation.
All products are SELV (Separated Extra Low Voltage) equivalent and IEC Protection Class ll insulated.
They feature safe no-load operation and have overload, short-circuit and overheating protection.
They are certified to EN 61347-1 and EN 61347-2-13 safety standards, as well as EN 55015, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3 and EN 61547 EMC limits.
All of the products work from a 220-240V AC mains supply and most will accept mains inputs from 100 to 240V AC.
Output power ratings from 3 to 17W are available and the Constant Current range has an option with 2-34V DC variable output and other output voltage limits.
The Constant Voltage range has various output ratings in 12 and 24V output options, and the constant current dimming range has different variable output voltage options with lower limits from 9V and upper limits to 32V.
Nearly all drivers have an operating temperature span of -20 to 50C.
