Will Power Gems’ new PWM system for LED be right for you?
In September, Power Gems introduced a constant current LED power supply. As you’ll know LEDs can be driven using the PWM system where the output light is effectively chopped.
PWM systems are incredibly compact and lower cost, but as we explained at the time, in Why Power Gems designed a high-power LED power supply, a constant current premium solution has certain advantages.
Keen to give you the option of both systems, we have designed an attractively-priced PWM system which can be used to control the brightness of LEDs in lower power fixtures.
The new family of compact power supplies gives you the choice of using Power Gems for high or lower power fixtures. Each power supply has its own appeal, but all come with reduced dimensions – designed to fit into the smallest space.
Features
- Six 5-Amp PWM output drivers at 24-48V supply
- Output current measurement for closed-loop constant power control
- DMX and RDM built in
- Short circuit protection
- 12V Auxiliary fan output
- Extremely compact at 114 mm x 48 mm x 11 mm
- Can be provided with an external-packaged power supply
Compact, space-saving design
For your LED fixtures to operate at their optimum, it’s essential to have the right power supply. With the new Power Gems range, we’re also presenting a space-saving solution, a reliable power unit with maximum power efficiencies.
Power Gems co-owner and product designer, Phil Ellams, has used his 25 years’ experience of integrated power electronics to solve the design challenge of high speed filming, event, film and TV lighting application. By reducing the PCB space, Phil has created a device much smaller than standard PWM units, and one which doesn’t require peripheral components.
He says: “This is a compact, low-cost solution which completes our LED offering, giving a solution to meet everybody’s needs. But don’t forget the advantages offered by the premium constant current solution.”
Power Gems new LED power supplies are competitively priced, and we serve OEM customers worldwide. Want to know more? Get in touch. One of our team of designers can talk to you about our product design and manufacturing services.
