Configurable LED driver/dimmer for solid state lighting applications
DCFirst Claim
1. Apparatus for configuring and powering a set of light fixture loads in a light emitting diode (LED) low voltage distribution system comprising:
- an LED driver including a power circuit having at least one power limit and a set of output current drivers connected to the at least one power limit in the power circuit; and
a break-out module electrically connected to an output of the LED driver and the set of light fixture loads, the break-out module including power connectors;
wherein the break-out module receives power from the LED driver via a set of input channels and delivers power to the set of light fixture loads via a set of output channels; and
splits the set of input channels into individual output channels;
wherein the LED driver is located remotely from the set of light fixture loads.
