ECOdrive Nano Family 12W
The eldoLED ECOdrive 12W Nano LED driver family has been designed for downlighting and tubular or pendant lighting applications in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The plastic housing is designed to fit through small cut-outs or inside cylindrical fixtures (down to 35mm). The product range includes:
— an independent (stand-alone) version with strain relief
— a connectorized version (with Wieland GST15i2 connectors)
— a built-in version. The driver has a wire pigtail (output wire to LEDs).
This dimmable ECOdrive family has DALI-2 (DT6), Pulse dimming and Phase dimming down to 1% (dimmer dependent for Phase dimming products). The DALI products can be programmed with eldoLED® studio (wired or wireless). DALI drivers with LEDcode can be connected to an eldoLED Casambi-ready BLE radio and can be configured to LEDcode Cross mode. The Phase dimming products can be configured via a dipswitch.
