100W LED Driver for Signage and Strip Lights

September 21, 2016 by Jeff Shepard

GlacialPower, a division of LED technology manufacturer GlacialTech Inc., has introduced the GP-LE100N 100-Watt LED driver suitable for LED strip light, LED signage and moving sign applications. Two product variants are available, the GP-LE100N-12V, with a 12Vdc output and maximum rated power of 102W, and the GP-LE100N-24, with a 24Vdc output and maximum rated power of 100W. The GP-LE100N is suitable for exterior or interior usage, with a fully isolated plastic case that is IP67 rated for environmental protection from rain, water and dust.

This rugged, reliable and efficient LED driver comes with full thermal and electrical safety features. The GP-LE100N is the newest member of GlacialPower's range of LED signage drivers, which also includes the lower-wattage GP-LE36N and GP-LE60N.

The GP-LE100N supports a very wide AC input voltage range from 90- to 264-Vac for use worldwide, and also accepts ac frequencies from 47- to 63-Hz. This driver offers constant voltage mode. The driver's typical efficiency with a 230Vac input is 83 percent for the 12V version of the product, and 86 percent for the 24V version.

The GP-LE100N is reliable and durable. In addition to IP67 protection, other features that ensure a long, safe, maintenance-free lifetime include Over-Voltage Protection (OVP), Over-Load Protection (OLP), Over-Temperature Protection (OTP), and Short-Circuit Protection (SCP).

The GP-LE100N offers high output voltage quality that protects your valuable LED lights from the harm caused by power fluctuations and also ensures an optimal lighting effect from LED signs and decor – with no unwanted flickering or shifts in luminance. GlacialPower designed the GP-LE100N to provide optimal electrical stability, with negligible ripple in the clean, stable output voltage, and noise levels maintained at less than 150mVpp.

The high output voltage quality makes sure LEDs reach their full lifetime, cutting maintenance and replacement costs – a particular benefit for expensive custom-built LED signage that may be mounted in locations that are difficult to access. Users will also find the GP-LE100N is highly responsive at switch on: at 230Vac and full load, the start up time will not exceed one second.
