5 Different Ways to Use LED Drivers

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electrical current passes through semiconductor materials. But for LEDs to perform at their best they need the assistant of LED drivers to provide better efficiency, reliability, and longevity. LED drivers are electrical devices that prevent damage to LEDs by regulating the forward voltage (VF) of the LED that changes with temperature, avoiding thermal runaway while delivering a constant current to the LED. LED drivers also aid efforts to meet new energy requirements (e.g., Energy Star).
