Which factors we should take into consideration when choosing an LED Drivers? And how do I choose an LED Driver? Here may have some factors we should know before choosing an led driver. Fisrt of all, constant Current type or Constant Voltage type for your lighting applications? led constant current driver power keep a constant electric current which can be used for individual or several LEDs in series, and 12 volt 24 volt constant voltage led driver keep a constant electric voltage which can be run multiple LEDs in parallel. Mots of the lighting factories will be marked this information of their datasheet for what type of their lights is.
Secondly, what is the output current/power/voltage the led drivers needed?
-- The current requirements of your chosen LED(s) when using a Constant Current LED driver. The constant current led lighting applications should be matched with output current of the led drivers.
-- LED driver should be at least the same value as your LED(s). The driver must have a higher output power than your LEDs require for extra safety. 80% loading is the the perfer connection scheme. 100% full loading may cause the driver to have a shorter life span.
-- For constant voltage drivers, it requires the same output as your LED’s voltage requirements. Such as 12v constant voltage led driver should be matched with the lighting applications which voltage is 12v
Last but not least, how water/dust resistant does your LED driver need to be?
If led driver may need to be immersion in water, you might need a driver with an IP67 or IP68 rating. If indoor using only, then IP20 or IP40 may enough.
