Led control

A simple, glowing LED no longer surprises anyone. But adding features and intelligence is already more interesting. Are you also interested in using the full potential of your LED lighting? Then this catalog from the eibabo® shop is just right for you. We offer you dimmers, controllers and other options for individual control.

Perhaps you want your installations to fulfill many tasks at once and to anticipate your wishes and needs through intelligent planning. This means that lighting changes color or intensity depending on the time of day or the weather, for example. Or that personal presence has an influence on the LED lighting. There are many control options. We offer you the equipment you need for this.

What is an LED controller?

Modern lighting offers a wide range of possibilities. The main task is certainly to improve visibility in space. But light also increases comfort and helps regulate human biorhythms. In the commercial environment, targeted lighting supports purchasing behavior and thus increases sales. These possibilities have become more versatile and, above all, cheaper due to the development and spread of LED technology. LEDs save a lot of energy compared to conventional light sources, are more compact and can be used much more flexibly. The use of high-quality control systems for LEDs raises your lighting to a completely different level. This allows you to design your installations as efficiently as possible while taking your individual needs into account. Regulate the brightness of individual lamps, control the lighting level according to a schedule or other parameters, or program scenarios using a PC or smartphone.

Notice

Additional components from the field of building automation are required for the implementation of programmable comfort solutions. Sensors and actuators are available in our 'Smart Home' main catalogue.


In this catalog you will find LED controls that you can tailor to your lighting concept. Our range includes, among other things:

  • LED transformers and power supplies
  • LED converter and driver
  • Dimmer for 12V and 24V, cable dimmer, wireless dimmer
  • Inline controller and touch controller, RGB controller
  • fully-fledged DMX controls and LED controls for bus systems such as KNX or DALI
  • remote controls

 

An LED control ensures the power supply and voltage supply, receives the switching commands or dimming information and controls the respective LEDs.

What should I look out for with LED power supplies?

A power supply is a voltage source that converts the mains voltage (230 V in Europe) into 12 V, 24 V or another required operating voltage. To supply voltage to LED strips and LED modules, switching power supplies are most often used in conjunction with resistors as current limiters.

 


Already knew?

Unlike power supplies, LED drivers act as current sources without current limiters.


 

For example, to choose a power supply for an LED strip, you should pay attention to the following factors:

  • Operating voltage of the LED strip
  • Total power of the LED strip
  • IP rating (the need to protect the power supply case from water and dust)
  • Dimensions of the power supply

 

The operating voltage of an LED strip can be 12V, 24V and sometimes 36V. The output voltage of the power pack must correspond to this value. There are also power supplies where you can continuously adjust the output voltage. This may be necessary if you have to compensate for voltage drops due to long lines. The total output of the LED strip results from its wattage, which is usually specified per meter. When calculating the wattage of the power supply, multiply the wattage by the length of the strip and then add approximately 25% safety margin. This prevents a power supply from constantly running at the limit. When selecting the IP protection class, consider the installation location. In the control cabinet or other normally dry rooms, IP20 is usually sufficient. Use in damp rooms and outside of buildings requires a higher degree of protection. The size of the power supply becomes interesting if you want to install it in the control cabinet. Space is often limited here.

How do LED power supplies differ from LED drivers?

To understand the difference between LED power supplies and LED drivers, you need to understand the importance of current and voltage within an electrical circuit. You should also know that LEDs are fundamentally:

  • be operated with direct current
  • need constant voltage
  • cannot independently limit the flowing current
  • become more conductive the more they heat up

 

Most electrical devices and electronic components require a power source to operate. An LED power supply provides this voltage, for example 12 V. This means: If LED lighting is designed for operation with 12 V, its actual power consumption is irrelevant. So the power supply only stabilizes the voltage. The driver, on the other hand, is a power source for LED lamps. This regulates the current, but not the voltage. A driver stabilizes the current flow and never exceeds its optimal current level - no matter how many LEDs are connected.

In short: the driver is a current source, the power supply is a voltage source.

Depending on the design and the supply voltage supplied, the LEDs have different resistances, which limit the current flow. Crystals are responsible for these resistances in LED strips, for example. By using an LED power supply you get a stable voltage. This will prevent the crystals from overheating and burning out. If you increase the voltage above normal, the resistance can drop sharply. This causes the crystals to overheat. Conductivity increases and power consumption increases. This will likely cause the LEDs to fail.

The advantage of the driver over power supplies is that it provides the crystals with constant power without resistance. Accordingly, the LEDs shine much brighter than when using a power supply unit with the same power. In addition, the driver increases the lifespan of the LEDs because it never exceeds the optimum (and critical for the crystals) current. It is important to note that there are drivers:

  • which can be used for any number of LEDs as long as their total power is lower than the power of the driver itself
  • which are only designed for a certain number of LEDs

 

But a driver also has disadvantages. Using a higher number of LEDs is problematic. Depending on the driver parameters, only a certain (or maximum) number of LEDs can be connected to it. In addition, drivers for certain LEDs usually cannot be used anywhere else.

A driver is always the best solution if you:

  • set up LED lighting without resistors (e.g. without LED strips).
  • plan stable operation of all connected LEDs without ever turning off some of them individually

 

You should prefer a power supply unit if you:

  • Insert LEDs with resistors
  • switch off part of your lighting on a regular basis, thereby changing the required voltage and current

 

How do I choose LED dimmers?

You can use both leading edge dimming (RC) and trailing edge dimming (RL) to dim LEDs. Alternatively, you can use dimmers with pulse width modulation. This is the most commonly used variant for dimming LEDs. With pulse width modulation, the current flow is periodically interrupted for a specific interval. As a result, the longer the OFF interval, the less bright the LED will shine.

 


Dimming LEDs

Whether an LED lamp is dimmable is stated on its packaging or in the product description. If you cannot find any information, the LED cannot be dimmed.


 

Before you decide on an LED dimmer, you should be sure about the type of lamps used. For 220V LED lamps it is better to choose trailing edge dimmers. For 12 V LED lamps, we recommend choosing a controller with pulse width modulation.

What is DMX control?

DMX is a special software protocol that allows you to create complex lighting scenarios, adjust various light parameters and create original special effects. A standard DMX controller is a device that you use to control and regulate these lighting parameters.

Term DMX

DMX stands for Digital Multiplex and is a digital standard for controlling stage technology, lighting technology and event technology such as dimmers, spotlights, moving head spots and other devices for lighting effects.


DMX is a system with which you can 'merge' all the lighting fixtures in a room into one. This protocol allows you, as the user of the controller, to work with numerous control channels at the same time. Each individual channel is responsible for a specific parameter of a specific lighting object. This means that several channels can be concentrated in one device at the same time. By combining parameters you create the most complex light variations. The scenarios are parameterized directly on the computer via a conventional USB interface. Special software is required for this.
