Nashville, Tenn. — March 20, 2015 — Universal Lighting Technologies has added to its already extensive line of well over 1,000 LED models with the launch of two new Class 2 UNV and 347V EVERLINE LED Drivers with tunable constant power output Compact Drivers and Linear Drivers. The new drivers provide even more dimming options and design flexibility for LED lighting.
“The tunable constant power output of our latest EVERLINE Compact Drivers allows us to provide customers with greater flexibility for applications for a wide variety of modules,” said Greg Bennorth, LED product manager for Universal Lighting. “Thanks to their multi-exit lead terminal configuration, our compact drivers are ideal for downlight and specialty applications requiring compact style driver housing. Our linear drivers, with their 1-inch-high low profile housing, are perfect for use in general lighting applications.”
The new drivers combine the benefits of LED lighting technology with the enhanced efficiency of tunable lighting. Drivers with tuning allow users to set the output current levels lower than a driver’s full output rating, while maintaining the same voltage range for higher efficiency. The new tuned level becomes the full light output for dimming control.
Universal’s tunable constant power output allows the driver’s current to be tuned down while increasing the output voltage up to a maximum of 56V, enabling output power capacity to remain constant over a wide range. This permits the drivers to offer excellent load regulation with low total harmonic distortion (THD) and a high power factor (PF), down to 40 percent of the maximum output of power loading. Both new drivers incorporate dimming from 0V to 10V. Their output current can be programmed with 1 percent increments of their rated output current.
The new EVERLINE LED Class 2 Linear Drivers are available in 700mA and 1050mA current with a maximum output of 30W, 1050mA and 1500mA current with a maximum output of 55W, and 2100mA current with a maximum output of 80W.
The new EVERLINE LED Class 2 Compact Drivers are available in 700mA and 1050mA current with a maximum output of 30W as well as 1050mA and 1500mA current with a maximum output of 55W. The drivers in this family additionally feature a multi-exit lead terminal, allowing for both side-exit and bottom-exit configurations. Bottom-exit configurations are available with studs for J-Box mounting.
