1. 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.
-
2. 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. -
3. Why do I need to program an LED driver?
Programming is usually for advanced drivers with programmable functions, such as achieving finer dimming control, color adjustment or other intelligent functions. This allows users to customize the behavior of the driver according to specific needs.
-
4. 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.
