Why LED Drivers are Necessary for Commercial Lighting Efficiency
LED drivers are a critical component of any LED light or lighting array. They convert high voltage AC power to lower voltage DC, reducing energy usage, protecting LED lights from damage, maintaining steady output during power surges, and providing dimming capabilities. To learn more about their basic functionality and replacement, visit our page, Replacing LED Drivers – Where to Start. LED drivers can be either internal or external. An internal LED driver is housed inside the bulb assembly, while an external driver is located separately. External LED drivers are commonly used in commercial lighting arrays for areas such as: - Commercial offices - Parking facilities - Multi-family housing - Institutional spaces like schools and colleges - Flex spaces External drivers serve the same function as internal drivers but make replacement easier for large arrays by being housed in a single location. LED drivers come in two basic varieties: constant current dri...
