Permanently set up LED Power Sources from Mean Well

While introducing LED lighting in or around the home, there will continuously be a need to switch the accessible AC line voltage down to a safe direct current (DC) power for the lights. One approach to doing this is to design in an AC to DC converter. These exchanging power sources can be assembled into two primary classifications: steady momentum LED drivers and consistent voltage power supplies. Look into the distinction between these two choices and find which sort of force your LEDs need. At the point when AGM Electrical Supply turned into an approved Mean Well merchant our LED driver and power supply index developed altogether. As one of the business chiefs in LED transformers, Mean Well has numerous choices to browse, regardless.

Consistent Current Drivers

Mean Well has a few extraordinary choices for LED drivers conveying steady ebb and flow to your LEDs. Mean Well's designed LED drivers take a wide AC input range, ordinarily around 90-264VAC. This makes them usable all over the planet whether there is low line AC (110-130VAC) or high line AC (200+VAC). Each LED driver yields your preferred ebb and flow and has a result voltage range that the LEDs you are fueling need to fall inside… so ensure you know the absolute voltage of your framework so you can choose the right driver. The following are a portion of the top of the line Mean Well LED drivers.

The AP steady ebb and flow LED driver from Mean Well is the most discrete designed consistent momentum source from Mean Well. These position of safety drivers come in 8, 12, 16, 25 and 35 Watt models that can yield consistent flows from 250mA to 1050mA. The unit is stuffed into a completely detached (IP42) plastic case with (18-20AWG) wire associations for result and information associations. This Class 2 power unit is perfect for applications inside where you have very little space to work with or need to fabricate the unit solidly into your apparatus. The current is restricted as it can go somewhat north of 1 Amp yet this actually will make LEDs like the Cree XHP35 and XP-L sneak up all of a sudden.

LPC - Waterproof, high wattage driver

Mean Well's IP67 appraised LP steady ebb and flow LED drivers are completely waterproof, making them extraordinary for both indoor and outside applications. These drivers are bigger than the APC choices, arriving in a straight, butterstick structure. The LPC is additionally made for bigger burdens as it is presented in 20, 35, 60 and 100 Watt models that can be driven from 350mA to 2100mA. The straight plan of the driver actually considers it to be squeezed into more tight spaces for such a high limit driver. This driver can be utilized in any indoor application where you are running a fair measure of LEDs and need more power and it is most certainly the go to driver for the outside as its IP67 evaluated case safeguards from every one of the components. Utilize this for LED-based beautifying, engineering lighting, theater lighting, electronic showcases… and so on.

IDLC - 45 Watt Driver with diminishing choices

The IDLC driver series is a 45 Watt AC/DC driver with a functioning, worked in PFC capability. The driver offers consistent momentum results of 350-1400mA which convey a consistent, gleam free light. The IDLC takes 90-295VAC while remaining incredibly effective inside its fanless plan. Dissimilar to the APC and LPC this driver offers darkening, in two distinct structures: 0-10V and PWM signal. This driver is perfect for applications inside the home where you really want to control the light down to low levels with practically no glimmer. The smooth diminishing control will truly permit you to control the light as you would prefer at a particular time.

PCD - TRIAC dimmable driver

The Mean Well PCD is one more reduced LED driver for indoor use. The driver is presented in 16 and 25 Watt models that can yield 350-1400mA. What makes this specific driver so exceptional is that it offers AC stage cut diminishing. This essentially implies that it will work with driving edge and following edge TRIAC dimmers. This is useful as most family lighting controls will work with this driver so there is compelling reason need to change out the whole darkening set up. This takes into consideration speedier establishment and smooth darkening through pleasant dimmers from any semblance of Lutron and Leviton.

LCM-U - Multi-Output LED driver

The Mean Well LCM-U series has 40 and 60 Watt AC/DC steady momentum LED drivers that include different result levels that are chosen through plunge switch. The driver works on low line AC (90-132VAC) and can change between yield flows from 350-1400mA. This takes into consideration an exceptionally flexible driver that can deal with a combination of burdens and light result levels. This is great in the event that you are trying various results or end up changing out LED lights much of the time as you can undoubtedly change the specs of the driver. Investigate the page to see the different plunge switch combos for numerous drive flows. The LCM-U additionally offers 3-in-1 diminishing: 0-10V, PWM, or obstruction (non DA-type) darkening.

Consistent Voltage Power Supplies

Many completed LED installations or LED strips will as of now have current limiters incorporated into their frameworks, so all they need is a consistent DC voltage to work. The most well-known are LED lights requiring 12V power supplies like LED strips, LED puck lights and numerous more modest LED lights. In some cases the lights require more voltage, nonetheless, which is perfect as Mean Well offers power supplies that result as much as 48VDC. We should investigate a portion of the power supplies that can undoubtedly drive your LED lights to make them ready.

APV - Compact, steady voltage supply

This position of safety AP series steady voltage power supply is presented in 8-35W models. With yield voltages of 5, 12, 15, 24 and 36 it ought to be not difficult to track down one that will work with your lights. This is a minimal expense, profoundly solid choice for your LEDs requiring a consistent voltage source. The APV is best utilized for indoor lighting and moving sign applications. Many individuals utilize this for a drove strip power supply for more limited run lengths.

LPV - Waterproof power supply

This is the steady voltage model of Mean Well's LP series. Like the LPC, it is completely waterproof with an IP67 appraised, completely separated plastic case. The LPV comes in 20-100 Watt models with voltage yields from 5-48VDC. The 12V result models like the LPV-60-12 are very valuable in LED flex strip applications. The power supplies can deal with a lot of strips with their high wattage evaluations and can likewise face every one of the components as it is completely waterproof, very much like the actual strips.

LRS - Open Frame, confined power source

The LRS is an open edge, confined style power supply. The name comes from the plan of the power supply as it has a lattice metal casing that takes into consideration detached cooling. The power supply comes in 35-350 Watt models, making it handle more than any remaining power supplies on the site. The LRS series can yield 5, 12, 15, 24, 36 and 48VDC so there are a lot of choices, no matter what. The open edge power supplies have screw-in terminal ports on the front where all associations are made. This is at times liked to the wire association types (like the APV and LPV) as it is more straightforward to interface numerous hurries to the power source.

Diminishing the Power Supplies

None of the steady voltage supplies from Mean Well are dimmable on the AC side of the establishment. In the event that you are searching for something that can utilize a Lutron or Leviton TRIAC dimmer than you will need to look at the Magnitude Power Supplies. For Mean Well and most consistent voltage power supplies you can in any case diminish assuming that your lights permit. The main contrast is you placed a PWM dimmer on the low voltage (yield) side of your establishment. So fundamentally your set up ought to go AC Input Power > Power Supply > PWM Dimmer > LED Strips (or anything that lights you have).
