The CMU LED DRIVE 1-3W 260MA 5-12VDC is a compact, constant current LED driver designed to power small-scale LED lighting applications. This driver is engineered to convert a wide range of AC input voltages (85V to 265V AC) into a stable, low-voltage DC output, making it suitable for global use. It delivers a precise 260mA constant current to ensure optimal performance, lifespan, and consistent brightness for connected LEDs with a total power consumption between 1W and 3W. The output voltage automatically adjusts within the 5VDC to 12VDC range to match the forward voltage requirements of the connected LED configuration (typically 1 to 3 high-power LEDs in series).
