Abstract
A LED driver boxes for luminaires or LED lighting systems installed in applications where the building is pre-existing, and luminaires are retro-fitted to the space with great advantages in convenience is described. Driver box applications where luminaires are installed in a new construction where the ceiling has yet to be installed/built is easy. Driver boxes may be used where the ceiling is already built and for ease of installation and maintenance, the contractor may want to choose an option where the luminaire has easily accessible electronic components. The LED Driver Boxes provide a safe, clean, and rigid method to maintain the electronics by separating line voltage from DC voltage and electronics.
Claims31
A LED driver device comprising:
- a container with two compartments, isolated from each other;
- one compartment bearing components to receive AC power and convey power to the second compartment;
- and, a second compartment bearing components to output DC power and control signals to a LED engine.
A method of installing a LED driver device on an existing ceiling comprising:
- cutting a round hole in the sheet rock ceiling,
- bringing the building wires down from the ceiling and making an electrical connection to the box in the isolated high voltage compartment,
- inserting the box through the hole so the flange on the housing prevents the box from fully plunging into the ceiling space,
- installing two screw heads on the flange to clamp the housing to the ceiling, and;
- installing fixtures to the flange remote box.
A method of installing a LED driver device on an existing ceiling structure such a T-GRID comprising:
- installing providing t-clips to the housing and snapping the clips to the t-grid,
- bringing building wires from the ceiling and into the housing to make an electrical connection to the box in the isolated high voltage compartment, and;
- tying back the housing at the tie-back wire holes with tie-back wire, and;
- installing fixtures.
A LED driver device comprising;
- a container with separated sub-compartments,
- said container bearing connection to AC power source and components to supply power to sub-compartments,
- sub-compartments bearing components to receive and output DC power and control signals to a LED light engine.
