Description
This is the power supply that sits behind an LED fitting and does the quiet work: a slim white disc, 18cm across, with up to 40W of output. It dims, taking its instruction from a mains dimmer rather than from a separate control system, so the switching already on the wall can stay where it is. The casing is a plain circle with a low profile and no decoration on it, made to sit out of sight and be forgotten about.
We reach for a driver like this when a small group of LED units needs feeding from one point instead of several, and we stock it because fittings and their power supplies are so often sold apart. It suits recessed lighting in kitchens, hallways, bathrooms lit outside the zones and bedrooms, and it will interest anyone specifying an LED unit that arrives without a supply of its own. Because the output dims, it earns its place in rooms where the light has to be bright first thing and pulled right back later on.
The shell is finished in white throughout, and the shape is honest about what it is rather than pretending to be part of the fitting. Keep it dry and keep it accessible, and if it ever needs attention, isolate the circuit first and pass a dry cloth over the case; nothing more is asked of it. It carries a three year warranty. The rest of the Sunset range is given over to recessed work, with bases in a spread of sizes and a choice of black, gold and white, so a whole scheme can be drawn from one family and driven from behind by units like this one. There is no lamp to fit here: this is the supply that runs one.

Frequently Asked
Is it dimmable, and how?
Yes. It responds to a mains dimmer on the wall, so you dim the circuit feeding the driver rather than the LED unit itself. Use a dimmer rated for LED loads for the smoothest result.
What size is it?
It measures 184mm in diameter and 26mm high, so it is a broad, shallow disc rather than a block. Nett weight is 0.08kg.
How much LED can it run?
Up to 40W in total. Add together the wattage of everything you intend to put on it and keep the sum inside that figure.
Does a lamp or a fitting come with it?
No. This is the power supply on its own, sold to run an LED fitting that does not include one.
Can it go in a damp position?
It is rated IP20, which means dry indoor positions only. Keep it away from splashes, steam and anything unheated or damp.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a three year warranty from the manufacturer.
