Off-Board LED Drivers

Off-Board LED Drivers Power Supplies for Advanced Lighting Solutions

Definition & Purpose
Off-Board LED Drivers are specialized power supplies designed to regulate and deliver stable current/voltage to LED lighting systems where the driver is mounted separately from the light source ("off-board"). These drivers ensure optimal performance, longevity, and energy efficiency for LED arrays in commercial, industrial, and residential applications. Unlike integrated drivers, off-board designs allow for flexible installation, easier maintenance, and scalability in larger lighting setups.

Product Types & Variations
This category includes:
- Constant Current LED Drivers: Ideal for high-power LEDs (e.g., streetlights, grow lights) requiring fixed current output (350mA 5A).
- Constant Voltage LED Drivers: Suited for LED strips/modules (12V/24V/48V) with fixed voltage and variable current.
- Dimmable Drivers: Compatible with TRIAC, 0-10V, PWM, or DALI protocols for adjustable lighting control.
- IP-Rated Waterproof Drivers: For outdoor/harsh environments (IP67/IP65).
- Programmable Drivers: Allow customization of output parameters via software.

Purchasing Recommendations
1. Match Specifications: Verify voltage/current requirements of your LEDs (e.g., 24V strips need constant voltage; high-power COBs require constant current).
2. Consider Dimming Needs: Select drivers with compatible control protocols for smart lighting systems.
3. Environmental Factors: Choose IP-rated enclosures for outdoor/industrial use to resist dust/moisture.
4. Safety Certifications: Prioritize UL/cUL, CE, or TUV-listed drivers for compliance.
5. Future-Proofing: Opt for modular or programmable drivers for scalability.

Off-Board LED Drivers bridge reliability and versatility, making them critical for professional lighting designs. Invest in quality drivers to maximize LED lifespan and system efficiency.
