3 precautions for replacing the LED driver
When you want to replace an existing LED driver, you need to determine if the drive is a constant current driver or a constant voltage driver. Many vendors will clearly indicate on the label, such as the Thomas Research Products drive shown below.
1. If you are replacing a constant current drive, make sure the new drive is also using the same current. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that their rated power and performance are the same or higher, and the voltage output windows are the same or similar.
2. If you are replacing a constant voltage drive, make sure the new drive is also using the same voltage. In addition, you need to ensure that its rated power, performance and output current are the same or higher.
3. If the drive supports dimming, make sure the dimming style is correct, as there are multiple dimmable types.
In addition, you need to pay attention to the input voltage, IP rating (dust or waterproof), size and terminal style.
