ELDOLED
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ELDOLED from 3G Electric.
What input voltage options are available for ELDOLED handheld remote programmable drivers?
ELDOLED handheld remote programmable drivers supplied by 3G Electric are available with two input voltage ranges. Most SKUs, including 850UE3, 850UD7, 850UD6, 850UD4, 850UD9, 850UD8, and 850UE0, accept 120 to 277V AC input. The 850UD5 model accepts 277 to 480V AC input. All listed models operate at 50/60 Hz. When selecting a driver, confirm the available supply voltage at the installation site matches the driver's input range. The 277 to 480V AC model is intended for higher-voltage distribution systems, while the 120 to 277V AC models cover common commercial and industrial lighting circuits.
How is output current adjusted on ELDOLED programmable drivers?
Output current on ELDOLED handheld remote programmable drivers is set using a handheld remote programmer. The drivers are not adjusted via physical switches or potentiometers on the unit. This allows configuration after installation, which is useful when drivers are mounted in ceilings, fixtures, or other limited-access locations. Adjustable output current ranges vary by SKU: 150 to 1,050 mA (850UD9), 150 to 1,500 mA (850UD7, 850UD8), 400 to 1,400 mA (850UE0), 600 to 1,250 mA (850UD4, 850UD5, 850UD6), and 700 to 2,300 mA (850UE3). The programmer is used to set the current to match the connected LED load.
What are the maximum power ratings for ELDOLED drivers from 3G Electric?
The ELDOLED handheld remote programmable drivers available through 3G Electric have maximum power ratings of 25 W, 30 W, 85 W, 100 W, and 180 W. Specifically: 850UD7 and 850UD8 are rated 25 W max; 850UD9 is rated 30 W max; 850UE3 is rated 85 W max; 850UD4 is rated 100 W max; and 850UD5 and 850UD6 are rated 180 W max. The appropriate driver depends on the total forward voltage and current of the LED load. Select a driver whose maximum power rating exceeds the calculated load power with margin for tolerances and operating conditions.
What dimming method do ELDOLED handheld remote programmable drivers use?
All ELDOLED handheld remote programmable drivers listed by 3G Electric use 0-10V dimming. This is an analog dimming interface commonly used in commercial and industrial lighting control systems. The driver provides dimming control via a 0-10V signal from an external control device. This allows integration with standard 0-10V lighting controllers, occupancy sensors, and daylight harvesting systems. The dimming method is consistent across the SKU range, so selection between models is based on input voltage, output current range, output voltage range, and maximum power rather than dimming protocol.
What does Class 2 rating mean for ELDOLED LED drivers?
Class 2 is a classification for power supplies and drivers that limits output voltage and power to levels considered safe for certain wiring methods and installation environments. For ELDOLED drivers supplied by 3G Electric, the Class 2 rating applies to the output circuit. This classification is common for LED drivers used in indoor lighting and allows for installation without some of the additional protective measures required for higher-voltage or higher-energy circuits. The specific voltage and power limits for Class 2 are defined by applicable electrical codes. Verify local code requirements when specifying drivers for a project.
Can 3G Electric supply ELDOLED drivers for replacement or retrofit projects?
3G Electric stocks multiple ELDOLED handheld remote programmable driver SKUs and can supply them for replacement or retrofit projects. Because these drivers are field-programmable via a handheld remote, they can be configured to match existing LED loads, which is relevant when replacing failed drivers or upgrading lighting systems. To identify the correct replacement, provide the input voltage, required output current, output voltage range, and maximum power of the original driver or the connected LED load. 3G Electric provides logistics support for global delivery and can quote specific part numbers based on project requirements.
