The MEAN WELL APV series LED drivers are a low cost, low power LED driver for indoor applications.

One of the biggest challenges with installing outdoor lighting is access to power.

Running a 240VAC power supply to various locations can be expensive and not always practical, especially if the project is an upgrade of an existing outdoor space.

The MEAN WELL ELG series LED drivers offers a number of benefits over other models available.

In 2016 Australia introduced the new Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM). This replaces both the Electrical Safety Approval number and the C-Tick.

Many of our readers will already know that ADM has a strong commitment to educating our customers and the wider community about the importance of electrical safety approvals.

There have been some recent changes to Australia’s regulatory regime when it comes to EMC compliance and electrical safety.

The MEAN WELL HLG 'B' series, ELG ‘B’ series, NPF-D and LPF-D series utilise a common dimming method, where the amplitude of the current fed to the LEDs is varied.

This method of dimming works very well, but there is a key factor that you need to be aware of, when selecting a LED driver for your particular application.

All switched mode power supplies have an inrush current rating, including LED drivers.

Most wall plate dimmers are either a leading, or trailing edge TRIAC dimmer. A particular type of LED driver is required that is compatible with this type of dimmer.
