Why would I need a constant voltage power supply?
Constant voltage power supplies are suitable for powering LEDs equipped with resistors or constant current drivers, which regulate the flow of current and may require a constant-voltage power supply when the desired operating voltage differs from the available power source (such as in homes or vehicles).
For instance, LED light strips often incorporate current-regulating resistors. If the light strip operates within a range of 9-14.8 volts in direct current (DC), it can be directly connected to a 12-volt DC system in a vehicle without requiring a constant-voltage power supply. However, if you want to install the same light strip in a home with a 120-volt alternating current (AC) wiring system, you must reduce and convert the voltage from AC to DC using a power supply.
In certain cases, constant-current drivers are available that match the voltage and current requirements of both the product and the power source (home, vehicle, etc.), eliminating the need for a constant-voltage power supply.
What are the differences between a power supply and a driver?
A driver and a power supply are the same thing. These terms are used interchangeably. Drivers tend to refer more to constant current power supplies.
What features are available with constant voltage power supplies?


Dimmable
Certain power supplies and drivers are compatible with TRIAC and other dimmers. If you wish to dim your LEDs, purchase a compatible power supply that allows you to dim 0-100%.
