LED lights are primarily low-voltage devices &#8211; typically 4V, 12V, or 24V &#8211; and are suitable for DC power supplies. However, the power supply of most wall outlets is not directly compatible with LEDs because they usually need to operate at higher voltages (between 120 and 277V) and they provide alternating current. Since the average voltage of LEDs is too low for conventional transformers to be compatible, specialized LED drivers are needed to convert high-voltage AC to low-voltage DC.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Learn-About-LED-Drivers-1.jpg\" alt=\"What is an LED driver used for?\" class=\"wp-image-4469\" width=\"800\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Learn-About-LED-Drivers-1.jpg 812w, https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Learn-About-LED-Drivers-1-325x227.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Learn About LED Drivers<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-8\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong>The relationship between current and voltage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">The current and voltage of the diode are <strong>interdependent<\/strong>.
