A compact fixed output, constant current, non-dimmable LED driver converts standard mains AC input into a steady DC output at a specific, fixed amperage (e.g., 350mA or  700\mA). Designed for tight spaces like downlights and enclosures, these drivers automatically adjust output voltage to safely power LEDs wired in series.

Key Characteristics & Applications

Why Constant Current (CC): LEDs are sensitive to temperature changes. If they get hotter, they draw more current, which can quickly degrade or destroy them. A CC driver limits the current to a strict, safe value.

Fixed Output: These drivers provide a single, non-adjustable electrical current. Because they are non-dimmable, they are generally less expensive and provide highly stable performance without compatibility issues with dimmer switches.

Compact Footprint: Miniature form factors allow easy integration directly into recessed ceiling cutouts, slim light fixtures, junction boxes, or tight cabinetry.

Common Applications: Ideal for power LEDs, high-power spotlights, ground lights, and commercial downlighting.

How to Choose the Right Driver

To successfully select and install one of these drivers, consider the following specifications:

Current Rating (mA): You must match the driver’s current rating exactly to your LED’s requirements (e.g. 350mA, 500, or 700mA).

Wattage Range: The driver will have a minimum and maximum wattage rating (e.g., 1-9W) or (10-20W).

Ensure the total wattage of your connected LEDs falls comfortably within this range.
