What is a LED driver for LED lighting?
17 Jun, 2019
An LED driver is an electrical device which regulates the power to an LED or a string (or strings) of LEDs. An LED driver responds to the changing needs of the LED, or LED circuit, by providing a constant quantity of power to the LED as its electrical properties change with temperature. An LED driver is a self-contained power supply which has outputs that are matched to the electrical characterist...

What is PWM dimmer?
17 Dec, 2020
LEDs can be dimmed in two ways: analog and pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming. PWM dimming has a frequency and a duty cycle. PWM dimming works by turning the LED on and off at a very high speed. The frequency determines the number of pulses per second of the LED, and the duty cycle determines the duration of the pulses. For the frequency happens so fast, human beings perceive a lower bright...

The Lifetime and Reliability of led driver vs power supply
01 Feb, 2021
The LED is a device that includes a single PN junction and has conductivity on one side. The LED will only emit light when current is applied forward. Because LED lights work at low voltage, the led screen power supply needs to properly manage the load and effectively provide the required low voltage power to the LED. The street light power supply rectifies commercial AC power into DC po...
