Universal Lighting Technologies‘ EVERLINE® LED Drivers simplify driver replacement with a variety of options. As the industry is starting to see the need for field replacement, having the right replacement driver is critical. Drivers must be specifically selected with the precise current and power rating for optimal lighting and color performance. EVERLINE Drivers in the distribution channel make replacement quick and convenient.

Among the first drivers to be used in fixtures were 150W drivers. 150W drivers are designed as replacements for first generation outdoor drivers. EVERLINE’s 150W constant-current drivers are available in both UNV (120V–277V) and UNV (347V–480V) voltages, and with a variety of output current options.

“Driver designs are evolving in the lighting industry, but have yet to be standardized. The need for replacements for first generation products is emerging,” said Greg Bennorth, product manager for Universal. “As a market leader, Universal is common inside many of today’s outdoor lighting fixtures. EVERLINE has been a leader in the industry for many years and provides the easiest direct replacement on the market today.”

EVERLINE Drivers are designed for the latest generations of LED-­‐based indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures. EVERLINE Drivers feature a variety of controllable dimming options, including 0–10V Dimming, Step-­‐Dimming, and tuning. Tunable output allows the driver output current to be factory set at lower currents to increase application coverage.

“Replacing a driver can be confusing because unlike ballasts, it is not a one-­‐to-­‐one replacement,” said Bennorth. “EVERLINE drivers include high to low wattage options, Constant Current and Constant Voltage options, and even Linear and Compact Form Factors.”
