Features TRIAC Dimmable LED Driver * Triac -dimmable with leading or trailing edge dimmers * Class II with SELV output (no earth required) * Extra-large screw terminals and integrated cable clamps for easy installation * Power factor corrected >0.95 * Dimming range 1..100% * Compatible with a wide range of dimmers Description The RACT18-xxx series are low cost, triac-dimmable, constant current 18W LED drivers available with either 350mA, 500mA, 700mA, 1.05A or 1.4A full-range outputs. The drivers are Class II (double insulated) meaning no earth connection is required. The phase angle dimming works with leading or trailing edge dimmers. The RACT18 is suitable for indoor locations up to 50C ambient temperature and is certified for building into furniture for applications such as dimmable shelf lighting, cove lighting or accent lighting. It is CE (LVD + EMC + RoHS) + EAC marked and has the international IEC61347-1 CB report certification.
