1. What is an LED driver for?
The main role of LED drivers is to provide a stable operating current for LEDs. Since LEDs are very sensitive to current, too high a current can cause them to be damaged or their lifespan to be shortened, while too low a current cannot guarantee brightness. Therefore, a suitable driver can ensure that the LED works under safe and efficient conditions.
-
2. Does an LED strip require an LED driver?
Yes, LED strips usually require a suitable driver to provide the correct voltage and current. Especially for long strips, because they are often composed of multiple small LEDs in series or parallel.
-
3. Can I use an LED light without a driver?
As mentioned before, in theory yes, but in practice it is strongly recommended to use a proper driver to ensure optimal performance and extend life.
-
4. Are there LED drivers with audio output?
Some high-end LED drivers do have the ability to synchronize with audio signals and change the lighting effects to the rhythm of music. This type of driver is usually used in occasions such as entertainment lighting or stage lighting.
