Common problems
Driver fails to start
Verify that the input voltage is within the 220-240V AC range and that all wiring connections are secure.
LED flickering
Ensure the output current ripple is within the specified limits (≤ 5% LF, ≤ 15% HF) and that the total cable length does not exceed 0.6m.
Overheating
Check that the ambient temperature is below 45°C and that the Tcase-point temperature does not exceed 75°C.
Before use
- Verify input voltage is 220-240V AC.
- Ensure LED module is compatible with 0.1A constant current.
- Check that wire cross-sections match the 0.75-1.5 mm² (input) and 0.5-1.5 mm² (output) requirements.
- Strip wires to exactly 8-9 mm.
- Confirm total cable length is under 0.6m.
Specs in practice
- Output Current
- 0.1A constant current output for stable LED operation.
