Choosing the Right LED Driver for an LED Installation

- This video looks into choosing the correct wattage and voltage driver or drivers for an LED installation. An LED driver, or transformer as it's more commonly known, is the main power source of an LED circuit.
It transforms the voltage from mains voltage (220-240V) to the voltage requirement of the LED lights in the circuit which will commonly be 12 or 24V when using LED strip lights, but drivers in all sorts of different voltages to suit any given application.
To find out more, explore the range and shop, visit - www.ultraleds.co.uk and head to our driver category under LED components.
Thank you for posting this video. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great 👍 work 🎉.
Can I use say 2 12w led drivers in parallel for 24w if I didn't have a 24w one handy?
This is very useful.
What about the amperage, what role does that play?
Thanks for this helpful video.
Can i just run the led strips straight to the 12v panel on my boat?
Hello. I don't know the wattage of the LED strips. There are about five strips of five feet each. How many watts should I get the Driver if I don't know the wattage of the LED strips? is there a standard number you can give? It's for a closet, being used in the drawers. Please help!
This is very useful.
What about the amperage, what role does that play?
If you connected 2 strips of 12V, does that mean it needs to be 24V or does it remain as 12V but the wattage goes up?
Can you comment on 5v strips via an LED socket?
Hell I can't find a replacement for my outdoor security light. 2 years working and then trash.
You just got yourself a customer
Hello how many lengths LED strip would 36watts run perfectly? Or would 36watts perfect to run 204cm 5050 blue LED?
That would depend on type of led strip you go for and how much watts per metere it consumes since each have different power rating
@@MHALI-qv9yc OK Cool.
I need an LED Driver for a fan with a light. The one I am replacing is 24-36W, AC85-265V 50/60HZ, DC 72-144V 260A. It has one connecting wire at one in and two at the other. Where can I purchase this?
We are the manufacturer of LED drivers,may i have your email number?
Are you sure the output is 72-144V 260A??? So the wattage will be 18720W. It seems there is something wrong.
Been wondering, where does one physically place the driver? Are there regulations surrounding where they can be placed?
These generally will come in led light fixtures. This will go in the oval or square that is mounted to the ceiling . It’s a pretty tight fit but the more powerful the fixture the more space they’ll leave for it.
@@trillium_music I'm planning on building my own fixture, it's basically an led strip. It's going in a conservatory so the plan is to have the transformer in an enclosure on the wall, then have a length of 24V line to the strip, but I have no idea if this is legit or not.
I’m not electrician But to my the best of my understanding as long as they are in a junction box and connected in there you should be fine.
Here is channel that can help you research LEDs
Chris Maher on CZcams has a lot of videos that I feel would be helpful for your project..
There is a video by a Channel called fix this build that and the title is:

He breaks down all different types of LEDs as different use cases.definitely worth the watch @@chanman3388
I left a reply just now with some info and some channels that will help your project, if you don’t see them by tomorrow let me know and I’ll reply again with it.
My mate installed one in a underwater pond and wondered why it wasn't lighting up.I told him to play the rust in peace album near the Pond and it might cure the issue.I had no idea he took it seriously because he invited me over and I tripped and fell into a goldfish pond on the way to his shed while loudly hearing five magics playing.I always wondered if it was karma.
I have a 20 meter run around my through lounge, how many drivers and watt would I need, I want a CCT cob Led
Also can anyone advise what type of profile is needed for a bend on a wall and if the led is being placed on a pic rail does it need a profile
@@shaidulhussain1745 Hi there, we might need a little more information to assist you. Please email enquiries@ultraleds.co.uk and a member of our sales team will get back to you.
Everyone here saying this a great video. Are you brain dead? This information is given on the packaging of the led strips. He explained nothing.
