What is an LED Driver?
LED drivers are specialist power conversion devices used with LED equipment. What is an LED? A light-emitting diode is a small component made from an electrically conductive material. These emit light of different colours when current passes through, triggering the release of light particles called photons.
LED technology was first developed in the 1960s and is now deployed in a wide variety of lighting equipment, including:
Domestic and retail settings - e.g. light strips and downlights
Camera flashes
Monitors and televisions
Vehicle lights such as headlamps, taillights and brake lights
Traffic signals
Aeroplane lighting
Commercial mood lighting in hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality venues
Outdoor and underwater lighting systems
LEDs are noted for their energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and long lifespans.
