the vanilla LED drivers are designed to work perfectly with all of the vanilla lighting fixtures. the vanilla LED drivers are available in various dimming and control options, in constant current and constant voltage options, and a range of output options to ensure there is a driver for every product and project application
constant current LEDs are to be wired in series and require a minimum and maximum number number of fixtures connected to a driver. each setup has a voltage threshold, once you have sufficient voltage, the lights will turn on; however, if you exceed this upper limit of voltage you will destroy the LEDs in the setup. powering or testing the non-specified and incorrect number of fixtures with a driver or connecting fixtures with the driver live or wiring them in parallel will all immediately and permanently destroy the LEDs. please review packing slips for min and max, or if any concern contact Vanilla Lighting for rfi.
constant voltage wiring diagram
the maximum number of fixtures that can be connected in parallel depends on the driver's maximum wattage ( or maximum current capacity). the total wattage of all fixtures must remain below the driver's rated output. some drivers also require a minimum load (typically 10-20%) and should not be run above about 90% of their maximum capacity. example: a 96W driver -> minimum load at 10% = 9.6W; recommended maximum load at 90% = 86W
