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. Is an LED driver just a power supply?
Not exactly. Although the LED driver does provide power, it is more than just a simple power converter. It also contains complex circuits to accurately control the output voltage and current, and sometimes includes dimming, temperature protection and other functions.
-
3. How can I tell if an LED driver is broken?
If the LED does not light up or the brightness drops significantly.
The driver is heating abnormally.
There is a distinct burnt smell.
Measure the input and output voltage/current and it does not meet the specification.
Test the status of its internal components through professional equipment. -
4. Can I run an LED without a driver?
Yes, but additional circuits (such as resistors) are required to limit the current. However, this method is less efficient and difficult to maintain a stable current, which may lead to poor LED performance or shortened life.
