Description
This is a constant current driver, a flat white disc of a thing that sits between the mains and an LED module and holds the current steady so the light output stays even. It answers to DALI and to push dimming, so it will take instructions from a building control system or from an ordinary retractive switch, whichever the room already runs on. Rated at 15W, it is sized for a small fitting or a short run of them rather than a whole floor.
We reach for a driver like this when a light needs to dim properly and the usual trailing edge arrangement is not going to behave. It earns its keep in kitchens, hallways, shop fronts and hotel corridors, anywhere the lighting is expected to lift and drop through the day without flicker or a sudden step at the bottom of the dimming curve. It belongs in dry indoor positions, away from damp and away from anything that traps heat around it. The shallow depth and the modest 142mm diameter keep it discreet in a ceiling void or a service cupboard.
The casing is white, plain and unbranded to look at, and light enough in the hand that it asks very little of whatever supports it. Care amounts to isolating the circuit, letting things cool and lifting off any dust with a soft brush or a dry cloth, since a coating of fluff is the main thing that shortens a driver's life. It carries a three year warranty. We stock it beside the Sunset recessed bases, which come in five cut out sizes and in black, gold and white, so the driver and the fittings it powers can be ordered together. The LED module it drives is bought separately.

Frequently Asked
What size is it?
It is a round unit, 142mm in diameter and 22mm high, weighing about 90g.
How is it dimmed?
It accepts DALI control and push dimming from a retractive switch, so it can work as part of a controlled system or on its own.
Is it suitable for bathrooms or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20 and should be kept in dry indoor positions, clear of moisture and splashing.
Does it come with a lamp or LED module?
No, it is the power supply only. The LED module or fitting it drives is chosen separately.
How much load will it carry?
It is a 15W constant current driver, suited to a single small LED fitting or a short group within that limit.
How should it be cleaned?
Switch off at the circuit, let it cool, then remove dust with a dry cloth or soft brush. Never use water or cleaning fluids on it.
