ADM has successfully tested the Power Source PDV series LED drivers on a CBUS System with excellent dimming results. The models we tested were the PDV-30-12 and PDV-360-12. Both LED drivers demonstrated even and smooth dimming down to 5% output, with no flicker. It should be noted that there are many different types of dimming modules available for a CBUS System and we have only tested one of them. It is important to consult a Qualified CBUS Installer before connecting any product to a CBUS System. The Power Source PDV series LED drivers have a constant voltage, PWM output and feature AC phase

The most common problems people encounter with MEAN WELL LED drivers are that they either appear to be dead, or there is a problem with dimming the LED lights. In the majority of cases the symptom is not being caused by the LED driver. Most problems are either environmental, or installation based. To help you troubleshoot your MEAN WELL LED driver problem, we discuss the most common causes for apparent LED driver failure. Troubleshooting Dimming Problems with LED Drivers One of the most common causes for frustration is dimming performance, especially with constant voltage LED drivers. Most of

There are no MEAN WELL Phase Cut dimmable LED drivers that carry the necessary Australian Electrical Safety Certification. Constant Voltage AC Dimmable LED Drivers MEAN WELL doesn’t manufacture a constant voltage phase cut dimmable LED driver. However, if you are looking for a LED driver with a similar quality to that of MEAN WELL, then ADM does stock the Power Source range of premium quality constant voltage phase cut dimmable LED drivers. There are two different styles available: Please note as with all outdoor LED drivers, the IP66 models should not be mounted in direct sunlight, as this

Christmas is not the only reason for LED fairy lights and festoon lights to decorate a premises. They can be an integral part of an overall lighting design that creates a warm, ambient and joyful atmosphere. But what should you look for when selecting LED fairy lights, or festoon lights? There are many LED fairy lights available and some can be of a poor quality, presenting a number of problems including: Poor colour temperature. Poor reliability. Being expensive to install. Colour Temperature Colour temperature is critical to good lighting design. Especially, architectural lighting where a

Hytronik’s DALI to trailing edge dimming interfaces allow you to control LED lighting, incandescent and halogen light bulbs via a DALI lighting control system, or a SwitchDim controller. Trailing edge phase cut dimming is used for halogen lights and incandescent lamps, because it provides a soft start, which prevents an inrush of current, protecting the lights from thermal shock. This prolongs the life of the light globe when dimming the light fitting. SwitchDim to Trailing Edge Interface The Hytronik HD2200 can be used with a commercially available non-latching (momentary) wall switch. A

Hytronik has a remarkably easy solution for extending remote On/Off control of existing non-dimmable LED drivers, incandescent lighting, transformers or fluorescent ballasts in a DALI intelligent lighting system. Hytronik HDS2400 DALI Switch The Hytronik HDS2400 DALI activated switch has been designed for this very application. It has a low form factor, which makes it very easy to conceal. It is perfect for retrofitting architecturally designed incandescent light fittings, which were custom designed to provide a specific type of light. In many cases the existing light fittings create a mood

In this blog post, we explain the differences between MEAN WELL's HLG, ELG, and XLG series LED drivers. MEAN WELL HLG Series LED Drivers We start with the HLG series, which is MEAN WELL’s premium range of LED drivers. Over the years the HLG series has earned a global reputation for reliability, so much so that in 2015 MEAN WELL extended the warranty period from 5 years to 7 years. Not long after that, the range was expanded to include a 480-WATT and a 600-WATT version. This means you can chose from 40-WATTS, 60-WATTS, 80-WATTS, 100-WATTS, 120-WATTS, 150-WATTS, 185-WATTS, 240-WATTS, 320-WATTS
