LED Driver VS Ballasts

From: www.hzleddriver.com 
led-driver-vs-ballast-resistor


        Ordinary incandescent lamps emit light by heating a filament with electricity, while both LED and fluorescent lamps require a converter between the lamp and the power source. What is this converter? Do they use the same converter? LEDs use led drivers, while fluorescent lamps use ballasts. The functions of ballasts and led drivers are very similar, so it is easy to get confused.
        Fluorescent ballasts facilitate this by providing an initial high voltage spike that acts as a current regulator once the lamp is on. The led power driver is a power converter that converts the power supply into a specific voltage and current to drive the LED to emit light. They both keep the light from being affected by the power source.
        Are Ballasts used for LEDs?  LEDs use direct current and cannot use alternating current directly, so an led driver is required to convert the alternating current into a direct current. Over the years, there have been many changes in ballast design and complexity. Ballasts can run fluorescent lights, but not energy-efficient lights like LEDs. Some led drivers appeared to get rid of ballasts. Because the led driver can do most of the work of the ballast, it is more efficient.

        Hi-zealed has various types of high-efficiency led drivers, such as constant voltage led drivers, dimmable led drivers, etc. We can provide you with a variety of lighting solutions according to your needs. For more information, please contact us.

How to judge the quality of Led Driver?

  How to judge the quality of Led Driver? From:  www.hzleddriver.com   A few simple ways to identify the quality of an Led power supply: 1.  PFC (Power Factor Correction)         Now some countries will require at least PF>0.7, but not necessarily high PFC is good, but also consider the overall oblique wave (small), ripple (small), interference (low), because some manufacturers deliberately make the PFC very high but ignore the electromagnetic compatibility part. 2.  Conversion efficiency         Conversion efficiency, the value, and the stability of the deviation. For example, in the working voltage range of AC170-250V, you can try to debug it from 170V-250V. The voltage changes from low to high constantly, so that you can see on the power meter whether the fluctuation of "conversion efficiency, PFC" is large to prove its stability. 3.  Whether the temperature rise of the power supply is high         The higher the temperature of the power supply itself, the greater the d

  Led Driver for tube light From:  www.hzleddriver.com          LED tube driver  is a LED driver power supply, it is the most important part of an LED tube lamp. improper choice, LED tube lamps can not play a performance, even can not be used normally.         Led Tube driver has two kinds built-in and external, the built-in is a long strip, that can be directly inserted into the semicircular tube inside. The built-in led driver is also divided into two types: isolated and non-isolated. Non-isolated means that there is a direct connection between the load end and the input end, and there is the risk of touch shock, especially when the load is high voltage.         The non-isolated type is most commonly used at present, which is directing step-down the power supply, as shown in Figure 1 ( HAD028CXN ). The non-isolated constant current led driver power supply has the advantages of simplicity and high index, and its output current can be determined according to the number of LED series an

  Choose a Led Driver for Street Light From:  www.hzleddriver.com         With the development of the led lighting industry, the development of commercial led street lights is also getting faster and faster, and the advantages brought by led as an outdoor lighting source are becoming more and more prominent. Good power saving rate and lighting comfort make the development of led outdoor lighting more and the better. How to choose the right  led street light power supply , you need to consider a variety of factors. Here are the factors to consider when picking the best-led driver for the led street: 1. High-quality components         Street lights are in severe weather such as high temperature, high humidity, and lighting strikes, so the quality requirements for led drivers are very high. The quality of the led driver will affect the life of the led street lamp, and the quality of the led driver will be affected not only by good design but also by the reliability of the led driver power
