Planning Tools
Use the Wattage Calculator and System Builder before selecting components.
Find the Right Power
Start with the system requirements.
Four decisions narrow the power selection quickly: output voltage, connected load, dimming method, and installation environment.
01 / Voltage
What voltage does the lighting use?
The driver's DC output voltage must match the voltage required by the LED lighting.
02 / Wattage
How much power does the system need?
Calculate the total connected lighting load, then leave appropriate headroom when choosing driver capacity.
Calculate Wattage →03 / Dimming
How will the lighting be controlled?
Match the driver to the dimming or control method used by the project. Compatibility matters across the complete control path.
04 / Environment
Where will the driver be installed?
Protected indoor installations and exposed environments can require different enclosure and protection ratings.
Choose by Driver Family
Different control paths need different power.
Choose the driver family that fits the control strategy and installation requirements, then select the correct voltage and wattage within that family.

Four things determine the right driver.
You do not need to memorize every driver model. Start with the system requirements, then compare products that satisfy them.
01 / Match Voltage
Voltage must match.
A 12V lighting system needs 12VDC power, a 24V system needs 24VDC power, and a 48V system needs 48VDC power.
02 / Calculate Load
Size the wattage.
Add the connected LED load and allow headroom. As a planning rule, keep the connected load at or below about 80% of the driver's rated capacity.
03 / Match Dimming
Control has to agree.
The wall dimmer, driver, controller, and lighting must follow a compatible control path. Check product-specific compatibility before installation.
04 / Match Environment
Put the right enclosure in the right place.
Indoor, damp, and wet-location projects can require different protection ratings. Choose the enclosure for the actual installation environment.
Planning Tools
Size the power before you buy it.
Use the quick calculator when you only need driver capacity, or build the complete lighting system when power is one part of a larger project.

Installation Environment
Choose protection for where the driver lives.
The correct output and wattage are only part of the decision. The enclosure also needs to fit the installation environment.
Protected Installations
Indoor & protected power
Explore driver options for installations where the product is protected from direct exposure. Always confirm the product's listed location and IP rating against the actual project.

Common questions before choosing.
Use these as a starting point, then confirm the specifications on the individual product page before installation.
What is the difference between an LED driver, transformer, and power supply?
These terms are often used differently across low-voltage lighting products. For product selection, focus on the actual electrical requirements: output voltage, available wattage, dimming or control method, and installation rating.
How do I know what wattage driver I need?
Calculate the total wattage of the connected LED load, then allow headroom rather than operating the driver at its maximum rating. Emitever's Wattage Calculator can help estimate the required capacity.
Can I use a 24V driver with 12V LED strip lights?
No. The driver's DC output voltage needs to match the LED lighting voltage. Use 12V power with 12V lighting, 24V power with 24V lighting, and 48V power with compatible 48V lighting.
What does universal dimming mean?
Universal driver families are designed to support more than one dimming or control method. Supported methods vary by product, so confirm the individual driver's specifications and the compatibility of the dimmer or controller being used.
Do I need an IP-rated driver outdoors?
The driver needs to be suitable for the actual environment in which it is installed. Review the product's IP rating and listed location, and account for moisture, exposure, enclosure placement, and local installation requirements.
Will an Emitever dimmable driver work with my existing wall dimmer?
Compatibility depends on the specific driver and control method. Check the product page for supported dimming types and tested compatibility, or ask for project assistance before ordering.
