2. LED circuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_circuit

   Drivers may be constant current (CC) or constant voltage (CV). In CC drivers, the voltage changes while the current stays the same. CC drivers are used when the electrical load of the LED circuit is either unknown or fluctuates, for example, a lighting circuit where a variable number of LED lamp fixtures may be installed.

3. Constant current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_current

   In electronics, a constant current system is one that varies the voltage across a load to maintain a constant electric current.When a component is indicated to be driven by a constant current, the driver circuit is, in essence, a current regulator and must appear to the component as a current source of suitable reliability.

4. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

   An LED begins to emit light when more than 2 or 3 volts is applied in the forward direction. The reverse bias region uses a different vertical scale from the forward bias region to show that the leakage current is nearly constant with voltage until breakdown occurs. In forward bias, the current starts small but increases exponentially with voltage.

5. 0-10 V lighting control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0-10_V_lighting_control

   The current sinking scheme creates a fail safe situation. Should a control wire be cut or the controller fail, the lights will illuminate. [contradictory] Commonly, the 10 V control voltage is supplied through a resistor. Control is achieved (and current is sunk) by connecting a variable resistor between the control voltage terminal and ground.

6. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

   The current in an LED or other diodes rises exponentially with the applied voltage (see Shockley diode equation), so a small change in voltage can cause a large change in current. Current through the LED must be regulated by an external circuit such as a constant current source to prevent damage. Since most common power supplies are (nearly ...

7. LED lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_lamp

   LED chips require controlled direct current (DC) electrical power and an appropriate circuit as an LED driver is required to convert the alternating current from the power supply to the regulated voltage direct current used by the LEDs. LED drivers are essential components of LED lamps to ensure acceptable lifetime and performance of the lamp ...
