Description
A driver is the quiet, unseen part of an LED scheme, and this one is a shallow round unit finished in plain white, 115mm across and only 22mm deep. It is made to work with phase-cut dimming, the leading and trailing edge type used on ordinary household dimmer switches, so the light can be taken down low without a separate control system sitting behind it. The white casing is neutral enough to sit unnoticed alongside other white hardware.
We would choose this where a small LED fitting or a short run of them needs a tidy supply and the dimming has to behave properly at the bottom of the dial. It works as well in a kitchen, hallway or bedroom as it does in a shop fit or a small office where the lighting is dropped back through the evening, and the slim body keeps it unobtrusive wherever it ends up. It suits anyone specifying LED fittings that call for a constant current supply rather than mains voltage lamps.
Care comes down to keeping dust off the housing: isolate the circuit at the consumer unit, wipe the outer casing with a dry cloth and leave the terminals well alone. Keep it to dry interiors, away from bathroom zones, unheated outbuildings and anywhere that sees condensation. It carries a three year warranty. We stock the matching Sunset recessed bases in five sizes and in black, gold and white, and this is the driver we reach for when putting one of those schemes together, so the electrical side and the visible trim come from the same range. If you are ordering a base at the same time, check the load of the fitting you intend to run against the output figures listed below before you add it to the basket.
