American Ballast (Fremont, CA), a global commercial and residential power solutions company with worldwide manufacturing capabilities, has developed a line of high-performance, energy efficient LED drivers. The company says the LED drivers can provide up to 85% energy savings in a wide range of indoor and outdoor lighting applications such as street lights, indoor down lights, ceiling lights, displays and channel lighting.

The LED drivers feature instant-start technology with parallel-circuit configuration. The operating temperature range is -20º to 70º C, eliminating the concern for use in harsh or cold weather environments. The LED driver is protected for failure with over-voltage and current protection. In the case where the driver does short circuit, the advanced engineering provides for auto-recovery and return to full power.

Suitable for parallel and series configurations, the LED driver family is IP20 and IP66 rated for dry and wet locations. In addition, the LED driver offers enhanced design functions including the capability to create versatile lighting effects with the dimming capabilities and light distribution control for each LED built into the fixture.

Each driver is 95 x 76 x 32mm and have an AC input of 110VAC. Operating levels range from 160-304VAC and have been tested to ensure a current accuracy level of 1% and a load regulation of 3%.
