WHAT IS A LED DRIVER AND A LED TRANSFORMER?

36W 24V LED Driver

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LED DRIVER AND A LED TRANSFORMER?

A LED Driver takes AC (Alternating Current) and changes it to DC (Direct Current) which is how most LED bulbs and lights work.  In most of SERA’s fittings and lamps, the LED Driver is in the back of the lamp or inside the fittings. Some manufactures require you to use a separate one.

A LED transformer is a power supply used in conjunction with LED lighting systems. Unlike LED drivers, LED transformers operate with a higher output wattage. As a result, a LED transformer can power larger, longer lighting systems.

A LED transformer is a double wound device with just AC in and AC out. Drivers are more sophisticated and give a DC output using a switched-mode system, and have current regulating and monitoring circuits built in.
