Product Information
Full details
This SLV LED driver is designed for professionals seeking flexible and reliable constant current power for LED installations. It offers a key benefit of dual current output (350mA or 500mA) and compatibility with both leading and trailing edge dimming, allowing for seamless integration into various lighting control systems. A potential caveat is its IP20 rating, making it unsuitable for wet or dusty environments. Key features include its 15W maximum power, plastic housing, and compact dimensions for easy installation.

FAQs
What is the maximum power output of this LED driver?
The maximum power output of this SLV LED driver is 15 watts.
Can I use this driver with any type of dimmer switch?
This driver is compatible with both leading-edge and trailing-edge phase control dimmers. Ensure your dimmer switch is suitable for LED loads.
What are the two output current options?
The driver offers two selectable constant current outputs: 350mA and 500mA.
Is this driver suitable for outdoor use?
No, this driver has an IP20 rating, meaning it is only suitable for dry, indoor environments.
What are the physical dimensions of the driver?
The dimensions are 116mm in length, 41mm in width, and 25mm in height.
Does this driver require an earth connection?
This driver is Protection Class II, which typically means it is double-insulated and does not require an earth connection. However, always follow local electrical installation codes.
How do I switch between 350mA and 500mA output?
The method for switching between current outputs depends on the specific model's design, often involving jumpers or switches on the unit. Consult the detailed manual or product diagram for your specific unit if unsure.
Troubleshooting
LEDs are not lighting up
Verify AC power supply to the driver. Check all DC output connections to the LED modules for correct polarity and secure contact. Ensure the LED module's forward voltage is within the driver's output capability at the selected current.
LEDs flicker or dim erratically
Confirm compatibility with your dimmer switch (leading or trailing edge). Check if the dimmer is set to an appropriate load range. Ensure all connections are secure and free from interference. If using the 500mA setting, ensure your LEDs are rated for it.
Driver is not dimming
Ensure a compatible leading-edge or trailing-edge dimmer is installed and functioning correctly. Verify the dimmer is connected to the AC input side of the driver. Check that the LED load is within the dimmer's minimum and maximum capacity.
Driver overheats
Ensure the driver is installed in a location with adequate ventilation. Do not exceed the 15W maximum power output. Verify that the connected LEDs are not drawing more current than selected (350mA or 500mA).
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers flexibility with two selectable constant current outputs (350mA and 500mA).
- Compatible with common phase-cut dimming systems (leading and trailing edge).
- Compact size aids installation in various fixtures.
- Provides reliable constant current for optimal LED performance and lifespan.
- Class II protection offers an added layer of electrical safety.
Cons
- Limited to 15W maximum output.
- IP20 rating restricts use to dry, indoor environments only.
- Requires compatible phase-cut dimmers for dimming functionality.
- Plastic housing may not be suitable for high-temperature applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the driver is installed by a qualified electrician. Connect the AC input to the mains supply, paying attention to live, neutral, and earth connections (though this is Class II, always follow local regulations). Connect the constant current DC output to your LED modules, ensuring the correct polarity. Select the desired output current (350mA or 500mA) according to your LED specifications. The driver is designed for integration into luminaires or junction boxes suitable for its dimensions (116mm x 41mm x 25mm).
Compatibility: This driver is compatible with LED modules requiring either 350mA or 500mA constant current. It works with standard leading-edge and trailing-edge phase control dimmers. Ensure your dimmer switch is rated appropriately for the total load of the LEDs being powered.
Care: Keep the driver in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and excessive dust, due to its IP20 rating. Regularly check connections for security. Cleaning should only be done with a dry cloth; never use liquids or solvents.
