FAQ

Can I use the LDDS-500HW for a 500mA LED downlight?

Yes, if the fixture is designed for 500mA constant current input. This driver is a constant current step-down model with a 2-45V output range, so it should be paired with a load that needs controlled current rather than fixed voltage.

Is the LDDS-500HW suitable for constant current signage modules?

It can be suitable for signage modules that are specified for 500mA constant current operation. It is not intended for constant voltage LED modules, because this model regulates current across a 2-45V range instead of providing a fixed voltage output.

Can this driver run a higher-current small LED array?

Yes, it is a better match for small LED arrays that need 500mA constant current rather than 350mA or 700mA. The step-down design makes it appropriate when the source (12-56VDC) and LED load (2-45V) both stay within the unit's specified electrical range.

How many LEDs can the LDDS-500HW drive?

That depends on the forward voltage of each LED, because this driver operates over a 2-45V output range. There is no single LED count for the LDDS-500HW; the correct check is whether the LED string stays within that voltage window at 500mA constant current.

How does the LDDS-500HW compare with the other wire-style LDDS versions?

The series spans LDDS-250HW and LDDS-250HWB at 250mA, LDDS-300HW and LDDS-300HWB at 300mA, LDDS-350HW and LDDS-350HWB at 350mA, LDDS-500HWB matching this unit at 500mA, LDDS-700HW and LDDS-700HWB at 700mA, and LDDS-1000HW and LDDS-1000HWB at 1000mA. All of them share the same 2-45V output range; HW versions use remote ON/OFF, HWB versions add 3 in 1 dimming.
