Understanding the Difference: Should LED Lights Use Constant Voltage or Constant Current Drivers?
LED technology has revolutionized the lighting industry, offering energy-efficient, durable, and versatile lighting options. However, as we explore LED options, a key question arises: should LED lights be driven by constant voltage or constant current? This article breaks down this important topic, the implications of each driving method, and what might be best for your specific needs. What Are Constant Voltage and Constant Current Drivers? Constant Voltage Drivers Constant voltage drivers maintain a steady output voltage over a range of load conditions. These drivers provide a specific voltage level, commonly 12V or 24V, which is ideal for LED lighting applications such as light strips and architectural lighting. The constant supply […]
