    Hi, I'm trying to install some Smart LED lightening in our kitchen. We already have wiring available to us (mains supply via a light switch). I've bought Osram Flex lightening - which comes with a plug in power supply that converts the 230V AC to 12V DC. My question is can I use the Mean Well...

    Led Drivers

    Evening chaps, when selecting drivers do we need to allow a margin over the lamp wattage ? Say a 10 w for a 6w lamp or is a 6w OK for a 6w? Cheers

    ALTIVAR 312 and mppt power tracking for a solar pumping system

    Hi all, I need to perform the following pid control using an altivar312, want to read the DC bus voltage (that is the solar panels voltage), and use a pid control to keep this voltage constant in order to make a mppt follower. The idea is to change the frequency driven to the motor. If dc bus...

    Led driver

    Might be a silly question but, on a constant current led driver for example 700ma is this the max current drawn on the output side whether 1,2,3 or however many led are connected, only reason I ask is because I saw some LEDs connected with cat 5 and wondered if that was ok to do?!

    A (plumber) mate of mine, has changed a standard 12v downlight to a LED downlight - he tells me that the first bulb he tried flickers a few times before coming on and the 2nd bulb is worse. The original standard bulb is back in so the transformer is OK. The lamp is fitted into one of those...

    LED Lighting

    Can you use LED MR16 lights in normal low voltage transformer ? I have a pal who says yes but it will reduce the life time of the lamp. Is this the case ?
