Description
This is a compact LED driver in a white plastic housing: the small power unit that sits between the mains and an LED light and gives the light the steady supply it needs. It has no lamp socket of its own, because its job is to power an LED light rather than hold a bulb. It measures 16.5cm long, 8cm wide and 3.7cm high and weighs 0.13KG. The IP20 rating settles where it lives: indoors and dry, well away from steam and splashes.
A driver like this is usually bought as a replacement part, when an LED light is still worth keeping but its power unit has failed. It runs from 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains, which covers the ordinary household supply. Being small and light, it is easy to tuck neatly out of sight in a dry spot. A driver that is wired in should be installed by a qualified electrician, who can also confirm it suits your light.
The white housing has fixing holes at each end, with a short white lead finishing in a small round connector on one side and a black connection box on a black lead on the other. Plastic is light and does not rust, which suits a part that may sit unseen for years. A dust with a dry cloth is all the care it needs. Before you order, compare it with the driver in your existing light so the replacement suits the job.
