How effective are LEDs at dimming applications?
LEDs sometimes do not have good dimming, but this is largely determined by the dimmer and driver being used. Retrofit...
What are heat transfer techniques used to cool lights or LEDs?
Although LEDs do not create as much heat as conventional lights, for some lighting applications they may need to be...
What problems are commonly encountered when using LED fixtures in outdoor or harsh environments?
Although ambient temperature is usually not an issue for LEDs, drivers can fail early if exposed to moisture or condensation...
Are there any special legal, electrical, or power requirements when installing LED lights?
Not usually. Most LEDs require a driver, but LEDs are generally installed like any other building appliances. For electrical safety...
Do LED lights run on AC or DC current?
In most applications LEDs are driven by a DC power supply. LEDs consume DC current to produce light; with AC...
How far can an LED driver be from the light fixture so as not to significantly affect voltage drop?
Wiring and distances between LED drivers and fixtures do not have set requirements, but circuits are generally designed so that...
What type of wiring is used with LED fixtures?
Copper is used for most electrical wiring because of its low cost and excellent heat transfer and conduction properties. Traditional...
