How do I choose an LED driver?
Use an LED driver with at least the same value as your LED(s). The driver must have a higher output power than your LEDs require for extra safety. If the output is equivalent to the LED power requirements, it is running at full power. Running at full power may cause the driver to have a shorter life span.
What is a Class 1 LED driver?
Class 1 drivers have high-voltage output which requires safety protection within the LED lighting fixture. Class 1 drivers can run a higher number of LEDs than a Class 2 driver, making it more efficient in terms of energy output, but as such requires putting additional safety measures in place.

Why do LED drivers go bad?
Most LED failures are not from the LED, but from the driver. Usually the circuits burn out and fail. LED Drivers typically have to supply less power to LEDs, due to their efficient nature, but they also have to be more precise.
What is a Class 2 LED driver?
Class 2 LED drivers that are listed or part of a listed system comply with UL 1310 Standard for Safety for Class 2 Power Units which requires the output voltage to pose no risk of fire or electric shock which makes secondary circuit protection unnecessary.
What is a Class 2 LED power supply?
Class II is sometimes known as “double insulated”. This is an IEC protection class and refers to the power supply’s internal construction and electrical insulation. These regulations are in place to protect the user from electrical shock.
