Behind every LED light is a critical component that ensures smooth performance – the LED driver. At NZLights, we supply a wide range of LED drivers designed to deliver stable power, protect your LEDs, and extend their lifespan. Whether you’re installing downlights, strip lighting, or commercial LED systems, our drivers guarantee safe and efficient operation.

What Is an LED Driver?

An LED driver is an electronic device that regulates the power supply to an LED or group of LEDs. Since LEDs operate on low, constant direct current (DC), they cannot be connected directly to mains electricity.

The driver converts high-voltage alternating current (AC) into the correct low-voltage DC required for the LED to function properly.

Types of LED Drivers

At NZLights, we provide drivers for every type of LED application, including:

1. Constant Current LED Drivers
   
   

• Maintain a steady current output.

• Commonly used in LED downlights, panels, and industrial fixtures.
  
  

2. Constant Voltage LED Drivers
   
   

• Provide a fixed voltage (e.g., 12V or 24V).

• Ideal for LED strip lights and signage.
  
  

3. Dimmable LED Drivers
   
   

• Allow brightness adjustment via compatible dimmers.

• Perfect for homes, offices, and hospitality environments.
  
  

4. Waterproof LED Drivers
   
   

• IP-rated for outdoor and wet environments.

• Used in landscape lighting, signage, and marine lighting.

Benefits of Quality LED Drivers

• Protects LEDs – Prevents flickering, overheating, and premature failure.

• Improves Efficiency – Ensures LEDs use only the required energy.

• Enhances Lifespan – Extends the durability of LED lights.

• Safe Operation – Regulates voltage and prevents electrical damage.

• Custom Applications – Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial use.

Applications of LED Drivers in New Zealand

LED drivers are essential in almost all modern lighting systems. Common uses include:

• Residential Lighting – Downlights, strip lights, and decorative LEDs.

• Commercial Buildings – Office panels, retail spotlights, and showrooms.

• Industrial Sites – High-bay LED lights, warehouse fixtures.

• Outdoor Lighting – Garden LEDs, floodlights, and architectural designs.

• Signage & Displays – Neon replacement, shop signs, advertising boards.

• Marine & Automotive – LED navigation lights and vehicle LEDs.

LED Drivers vs Traditional Transformers

Unlike traditional transformers, LED drivers are specifically designed for LEDs. They deliver stable, low-voltage DC power, whereas conventional transformers often provide fluctuating power that can damage LEDs.

This makes dedicated LED drivers a necessity for any installation.
