Match voltage, load, dimming method, control behavior, and installation environment to the right power and control path for your LED lighting.
Four decisions narrow the power selection quickly: output voltage, connected load, control method, and installation environment.
The driver's DC output voltage must match the rated voltage of the lighting.
Calculate the connected LED load, then leave appropriate headroom when choosing driver capacity.
Calculate Wattage →Match the driver or power architecture to the dimming or control method used by the project.
Choose a Control Path →Protected and exposed locations can require different enclosure and environmental ratings.
Choose the driver family that fits the control strategy, then select the correct voltage, wattage, and enclosure.

View Options →Switching, dimming, tunable-white control, and color control are different jobs. Define the behavior first, then choose a compatible control path.
A project that only needs reliable on/off operation does not automatically need a dimming system.
Understand Switching →Dimming can happen through a compatible wall-control path or a controller on the low-voltage side.
Tunable-white systems coordinate multiple white-light channels and require compatible lighting and control.
Explore Tunable White →RGB systems manage multiple color channels and require lighting, controller, power, and connections designed to work together.
Explore RGB Control →Some controls act before the driver, some are integrated with power, and others operate between the power source and LED lighting.
A compatible wall dimmer controls a dimmable driver designed for that phase-cut or control method.
Control and power can be combined in one product when the system is designed around an integrated dimmer/driver.
A low-voltage controller can sit between power and lighting to manage brightness without a line-voltage wall dimmer.
Compatible controller-based systems can add app or smart-home control. Verify voltage, channels, and availability.
These are system relationships, not universal wiring diagrams. The actual connection method depends on the selected products.
A compatible wall dimmer modifies the input to a dimmable driver, which then powers the lighting.
A compatible controller manages the lighting on the low-voltage side of the system.
Some products combine the control interface and power conversion into one system component.
Some control methods are available as standalone products, while others are bundled into complete lighting kits. This hub can route you to the right system.

The lighting, power source, and low-voltage controller must use compatible voltage requirements.
Calculate connected load and leave appropriate driver headroom rather than operating at maximum rating.
Phase-cut, dedicated-signal, PWM, and controller-based paths are different methods with different component requirements.
Single-color, tunable-white, and RGB lighting require controls designed for the correct number and type of outputs.
Calculate power when you already know the lighting load, or build the complete system when power and control are part of a larger project.
Estimate the connected LED load and required power capacity before selecting a driver.
Open Wattage Calculator →Work through lighting, voltage, length, power, control, and compatibility in one component-level planning path.
Open LED System Builder →Use these as a starting point, then verify the exact specifications and compatibility of the products you intend to install.
Calculate the total connected LED load and allow headroom rather than operating the driver at its maximum rating. Use the Wattage Calculator for a quick estimate.
No. The driver's DC output voltage needs to match the rated voltage of the LED lighting.
No. The dimmer, driver, control method, lighting load, and wiring architecture all need to be compatible. Check the exact product documentation.
Wall dimming commonly acts through a compatible dimmable-driver path. An RF controller commonly operates on the low-voltage side between power and lighting.
Only when the controller is specifically designed for the required voltage, channel arrangement, and lighting type. A controller's feature list does not make every system compatible.
Use the LED System Builder for the complete component path, or read the Dimming & Controls Guide if you first want to understand the methods.
