Power Supply for LED Systems Why constant current power supplies? LED Arrays use high power InGaN light emitting diodes (Indio Gallio - Azoto) Constant voltage: with 8.4V would be 0mA, 70mA and 300mA, respectively, depending on the forward voltage of the array. Constant current: Best way to control the and maintain lumens output
Problem statement Requirements: Flexibility: configurable output current Standard 350 ma Medium 500, 700, 1500, 1750 ma High 2100, 3000 ma Modulability: configurable number of channels Different channels with different LEDs Intelligent: dimmable control, remote control, flux vs time regulation, temperature sensing, etc.
