The automation trend in home, commercial and industrial lighting continues to generate interest in compatible components. In LED drivers, having dimming and smart capabilities are advantages as these features can guarantee the performance and life span of supported lights.
Widely used dimming techniques include 0 to 10V, TRIAC, DALI, PWM and DMX, while smart attributes are achieved with the integration of any of the available IoT communication protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and ZigBee.
In China, typical LED drivers are constant-current and -voltage types with more than 85 percent efficiency, over 0.9 power factor, 3 to 500W rated power and up to 100,000-hour operating life. Water-resistant types are available, usually with an IP65 to IP68 rating, as well as dimming and smart designs.
Chinese manufacturers typically ensure their products have built-in protection from overvoltage, -current, -load, -temperature and short circuits, and meet UL, cUL, CE, FCC, CSA, TÜV and RoHS requirements.
The components used, including ICs, transformers and other passive components and PCBs, come from domestic or foreign suppliers. For ICs, the key sources include TI, onsemi, Silergy and Joulwatt.
Component costs rose in the past 12 months but may stabilize and stop further increases in the prices of LED drivers.
