TLD1040-12

Introduction to LED Drivers

LED Drivers are electrical devices designed to regulate the current or voltage to an LED Light source. They are used to ensure that an LED is properly supplied with the right current and voltage needed to operate at peak efficiency, while providing longer operational life and higher brightness than an unregulated power supply. The selection of the correct LED Driver is critical for achieving the desired performance from an LED light source.
