Welcome to the ERP Lighting Blog, which puts you at the forefront of topics from dimming, efficiency, and programming to much, much more.
INTRODUCTION: In certain lighting applications, LED drivers need to be mounted away from their respective light engines or light fixtures. In that case, it also becomes necessary to ascertain the maximum distance of the driver from the light engine (in other words, how far away can the driver be located from the LED engine). Application Note ...Read More

LEDs Ð Light Emitting Diodes Ð are semiconductor devices that use electrical current passing through semiconductor materials to produce light. Before the LEDs can perform at their max, they require LED drivers to provide better longevity, reliability and efficiency. An LED driver manufacturer creates drivers that prevent damage to your LED setup by regulating voltage based on temperature changes, reducing thermal inefficiency. ...Read More
