Description
This is the piece that sits behind an LED fitting and does the quiet work, taking the mains supply and handing the light board a steady current it can rely on. It is rated at 20W and dims two ways, either through a DALI control system or from an ordinary push switch, so it will answer to a managed scheme or to a single retractive button beside the door. The casing is round and shallow, 14cm across, in plain white with no markings to speak of on the visible face.
We reach for a driver of this sort when a scheme has to dim consistently from room to room and the client wants one method of control rather than three. It pairs naturally with the recessed bases in the Sunset range, and it is equally at home feeding a single fitting in a hallway or sitting within a longer run of downlights in a kitchen or office. Being unprotected against damp, it belongs in dry interiors only, well away from bathroom zones and anywhere exposed to weather.
The white housing is light in the hand and slim in section, which is much of the point of it, and the flat profile keeps the outline tidy wherever it ends up. Looked after, it asks for almost nothing: a wipe over the case with a dry cloth when the power is off, and no cleaning products near the terminals. It carries a three year warranty. The wider Sunset range runs to recessed bases in five sizes, offered in black, gold and white, so downlights and their power supplies can be specified as one order rather than pieced together later. We keep the white bases moving fastest, though the gold is worth a look where the ceiling detail is meant to be seen.
