Frequently Asked Questions

Constant current or constant voltage?

Constant current for LED boards with a set forward voltage; constant voltage for strips and bars run in parallel.

What IP rating for outdoor drivers?

IP67 sealed drivers survive rain and dust; use them for street, area and facade lighting.

Can I dim a DALI driver with 0-10V?

No. DALI uses digital commands; pick a 0-10V driver if your system is analog.

Does XGW make IEC/CE drivers?

Yes. XGW LED drivers carry UL, CE, CB and DALI-2 certification for major markets.
