LD-1025: 1-channel constant voltage LED driver.Smooth and stable dimming effect even at the lowest brightness! Most LED dimmers are subject to flicker when output level is under 10%. Therefore, the dimmable inputs of most LED dimmers are 1 – 10V DC rather than 0 – 10V DC, or LEDs will be flickering when dimmable input is under 1V (10%). Lite-Puter has developed a new LED dimmable driver: LD-1025 to solve this problem. LD-1025 is a constant voltage LED dimmable driver with adjustable voltage output from 9V to 28V and with current limit ...
