A typical LED light runs at either a 12v or 24v rating, which is far lower than the 230v of your mains. That’s why LEDs like your \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/decking-lights\"\u003edecking lights\u003c\/a\u003e need a transformer or a driver to supply your lights with the correct voltage they need. Connecting your lights to the wrong voltage can damage your fixtures and cause problems like flickering, premature failure, or irreparable damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003ePlug \u0026amp; Play LED Driver\u003c\/strong\u003e has a \u003cstrong\u003e30w maximum load\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning it can theoretically have 60 0.5w decking lights connected to it all at once. However, to avoid overheating the LED driver, it is recommended to give at least a 10% to 20% safety margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIP67 Rated - Ideal for Outdoor Installations\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ingress Protection (IP) rating of a light fixture declares its level of protection against both solid (dirt) and liquid (water). Light fixtures and electrical components with a high IP rating can be used in bathrooms, kitchens, or garden areas without worrying about the environment affecting performance or the lifespan of the electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/led-drivers\"\u003eLED driver\u003c\/a\u003e is designed to withstand the harshest outdoor environment. Its \u003cstrong\u003eIP67 rating\u003c\/strong\u003e protects it against solid objects like dust, debris, and dirt and very high water resistance like strong water sprays. The IP67 rating also means that even if it’s accidentally submerged in shallow water, it’ll be fine for about 30 minutes before water starts seeping in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible with Low-Voltage Decking Lights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecking lights that are wireable to the mains circuit are rated between 220v-240v, but some low-voltage decking lights run at 12v or 24v, similar to most LED strip lights you’ll find. And just as the LED strip lights need LED drivers or transformers, so do the low-voltage decking lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Plug \u0026amp; Play LED driver helps power your low-voltage decking lights with the correct voltage to avoid running into problems like the lights not turning on, flickering, and eventual burnout. This particular LED driver has an output voltage of 12v DC, so if you have \u003cstrong\u003e12v decking lights\u003c\/strong\u003e, they’ll work perfectly with this driver. Never connect 24v or any AC lights to this driver to avoid running into problems. Be sure to get help from professionals when you are unsure how to install the LED driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e1.8m Cable Length\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest pains when installing lighting fixtures is when there is insufficient cable for the driver to connect directly to the mains or plug it into a socket. That problem either comes from poor planning, poor measurement, or getting a driver that doesn’t even have a 1-metre cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a good thing this LED driver for your decking lights has a cable that is \u003cstrong\u003e1.8 metres long\u003c\/strong\u003e, as it will help you install your outdoor lighting setup easily and smoothly. Having a long cable can also help you manoeuvre better around obstacles and corners, as you’ll have a lot of cable length to work with. Finally, say goodbye to an out-of-reach power socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBulky LED drivers are a problem, especially if you want your lighting setup to have a clean, minimalist look. A bulky driver would get in the way, throw off the balance of your lighting, and not look aesthetically pleasing to the eye since it gets attention when it doesn’t need to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Plug \u0026amp; Play LED driver is compact, measuring \u003cstrong\u003e140mm x 50mm\u003c\/strong\u003e in length and width, respectively, and \u003cstrong\u003e35 mm in height\u003c\/strong\u003e. In other words, this driver is small and can easily be tucked away into a corner or other tight spaces. A small build also means a more flexible option for installing your decking light setup. Ensure you’re using a compatible low-voltage decking light to connect to this LED driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuick and Easy to Install\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's the last step that you want to do when installing lights? It's the tedious wiring, right? One misstep, and you're back to zero. If it does not work, you must redo steps one and two before fixing the wires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour woes were heard. This LED driver is the answer! It's \u003cstrong\u003eplug-and-play\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you don't need to crimp and connect wires with the same colours. Once you've connected all your lights, find an empty socket and plug it in. That's it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, \u003cstrong\u003ethe plug on this LED driver is compatible with outdoor, waterproof sockets\u003c\/strong\u003e. Not many are compatible with those, so if you're doing an outdoor lighting project, you need this driver.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simple Lighting","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56960095322456,"sku":"DECK-30W","price":24.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/7020\/1688\/files\/y1230_uk.jpg?v=1774288780","url":"https:\/\/www.simplelighting.co.uk\/products\/30w-ip67-plug-play-led-driver-for-decking-lights","provider":"Simple Lighting LTD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
