LEDtronics adds DC-to-DC Dimmer
LEDtronics
announces the release of its new DC-to-DC Dimmer for LED lighting products.
It makes it possible to dim all 5-40V DC LED products such as LED strip
lights, LED bulbs, and LED floodlights. Since LEDs draw much less current
than traditional incandescent bulbs one had to buy a special high-end
electronic dimmer to control the desired light levels for their LED lighting
application.
The LED dimming range is 0-100% of input. Input voltage can be any DC
Voltage between 5-40V DC. Dimmer output voltage is continuously adjustable
between zero and full-on. LED dimmers operate on minimal no-load current
(10-15mA). Power dissipation of the LED dimmer's drive circuitry is less
than 0.7WW. No extra load is added to the lighting circuit; the current
draw is only 10-15mA. The dimmer is not intended for use with inductive
devices such as motors, etc.
No special configuration is needed. The LED simmer
can drive up to 2,000 standard white discrete LEDs or 50 high-flux
LEDs. One unit can dim the
supplied power for an entire lighting channel or up to 2A, 24W maximum
of LED bulbs, floodlights, tube lights, and light strips. The LED dimmer
can be used with 12V DC solar power systems or connect directly to 120V
AC-to-12V DC transformers. The size is 2.3" long by 1.9" wide
by 1.1" high (excluding knob).
