FAQ
Can the LDH-45B-500DA be used for a 500mA constant current LED downlight array?
Yes, if the downlight array is designed for 500mA constant current operation. The full LED load must fall within the 36-86V CC output range and stay within the 43W maximum power.
Is this driver a fit for 500mA LED signage modules?
It can be a fit for constant current signage modules that are specified for 500mA. Because it is a constant current driver and not a constant voltage supply, the LED string's total forward voltage must be within 36-86V.
Can I use this driver with a small LED array that has a higher forward voltage string?
Yes, this step-up constant current model is intended for 500mA LED arrays within a 36-86V output range. That makes it better suited to higher-voltage 500mA arrays than lower-range CC drivers.
Is the LDH-45B-500DA suitable for outdoor or sealed fixture environments?
The datasheet does not list an IP or waterproof rating, so outdoors it must be mounted in a sealed fixture that keeps out water and dust. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to +70°C (refer to the derating curve), at 20-90% RH non-condensing humidity.
What should I check to confirm LED compatibility?
Confirm that the LED load needs 500mA constant current and that its total forward voltage falls within the 36-86V CC range. The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so there is no single fixed LED quantity for this driver.
What are the key differences in the LDH-45B-500 family?
LDH-45B-500 and LDH-45B-500W are both 500mA, 21-86V, 43W models, while LDH-45B-500DA and LDH-45B-500WDA are 500mA, 36-86V, 43W models. The main published differences are the CC voltage range and version suffixes, not the nominal wattage.
