Triac 30-36W Linear CV Strip Supply​

Product Overview: Core Specifications & Purpose

The Triac 30-36W Linear CV Strip Supply is a dedicated power driver designed to address the critical needs of LED strip lighting: stable voltage delivery and flexible dimming. Unlike generic power supplies, it integrates Triac dimming technology directly, meaning it works with most standard Triac wall dimmers (no additional controllers required).

Key baseline specifications include:

Power range: 30W to 36W (compatible with medium-length LED strips, typically 5-10 meters for 12V strips).

Output type: Linear Constant Voltage (CV) — maintains ±2% voltage accuracy to prevent LED overheating or brightness loss.

Input voltage: 100-240V AC (universal input, suitable for global markets).

Safety certifications: Complies with CE, RoHS, and UL standards, ensuring protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature.

Its primary purpose is to bridge the gap between AC power sources and low-voltage LED strips, providing a reliable, dimmable solution that enhances the versatility of LED lighting designs.

Product Features: What Sets It Apart

The Triac 30-36W Linear CV Strip Supply stands out for its focus on usability, durability, and performance. Below are its key differentiators, each tailored to solve common pain points in LED lighting setups.

Triac Dimming Compatibility & Flicker-Free Performance

This driver is optimized for universal Triac dimmer compatibility—works with leading-edge, trailing-edge, and multi-way Triac dimmers from major brands. It uses advanced dimming algorithms to avoid the "flicker" or "dead zone" issues common in low-quality drivers, ensuring smooth brightness adjustment from 10% to 100%. This is critical for spaces like bedrooms, living rooms, or retail displays, where precise light ambiance matters.

Linear Constant Voltage (CV) Stability

As a linear CV driver, it delivers consistent voltage to LED strips even when input voltage fluctuates (e.g., during peak power hours). This stability prevents LED degradation over time and ensures uniform brightness across the entire strip—no dark spots or uneven lighting. The linear design also reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it safe for use near sensitive electronics like TVs or audio systems.

Compact Design & Easy Installation

Measuring just 120mm x 50mm x 30mm, the driver’s compact form factor fits into tight spaces (e.g., behind LED strip channels, under cabinets, or inside ceiling cavities). It includes screw terminals for quick wiring (no soldering needed) and a built-in mounting bracket, cutting down on installation time for electricians or DIY enthusiasts.

Durable Build for Long-Term Use

Constructed with flame-retardant PC plastic (V0 grade) and high-quality electrolytic capacitors, the driver resists high temperatures (operating range: -20°C to 60°C) and moisture. It has a rated lifespan of 50,000 hours (over 5 years of continuous use), reducing the need for frequent replacements—ideal for hard-to-reach lighting locations like high ceilings or display cases.

Scenario-Based Solutions: Where It Works Best

Residential LED Lighting: Ambiance & Comfort

For homeowners, this driver excels in powering LED strips in:

Living rooms: Pair with Triac dimmers to adjust strip brightness for movie nights (low light) or social gatherings (bright light).

Kitchen under-cabinet lighting: The compact design fits under cabinets, while stable CV output ensures consistent light for food preparation.

Bedrooms: Flicker-free dimming allows users to set soft nightlight levels or full brightness for getting ready, improving sleep quality and daily convenience.

Commercial Retail & Display Lighting: Highlight Merchandise

In retail spaces, the driver helps showcase products effectively:

Clothing stores: Dimmable LED strips in display racks highlight fabric textures, with smooth dimming to match store lighting themes.

Electronics shops: Stable CV output ensures LED strips around product showcases (e.g., smartphones, laptops) stay bright and uniform, drawing customer attention.

Supermarkets: The driver’s durability and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for coolers or warm ambient areas, powering strips that highlight fresh produce or packaged goods.

Hospitality Industry: Guest Experience

Hotels, restaurants, and cafes benefit from its reliable performance:

Hotel rooms: Triac dimming lets guests customize bedside or bathroom LED strip brightness, enhancing comfort.

Restaurants: Warm, dimmable LED strips (powered by this driver) create a cozy dining atmosphere, with no flicker to distract guests.

Bars: The driver’s moisture resistance makes it safe for use in damp areas (e.g., under bar counters), powering strips that highlight drink displays.

FAQ

What voltage LED strips is this driver compatible with?

It works with both 12V and 24V LED strips (common low-voltage options for residential/commercial use). Ensure your LED strip’s power draw (in watts) falls within the driver’s 30-36W range for optimal performance.

Do I need a special dimmer for this driver?

No—this Triac 30-36W Linear CV Strip Supply is compatible with most standard Triac wall dimmers (including single-pole, 3-way, and smart Triac dimmers from brands like Lutron, Leviton, or Philips). No additional controllers or adapters are required.

Is it difficult to install?

Installation is straightforward, even for beginners. The driver includes labeled screw terminals (AC input, LED strip output) and a mounting bracket. Simply connect the AC input to your wall power, the output to your LED strip, and mount the driver in a dry, well-ventilated area. Always turn off power before installation.

How long will the driver last?

With a rated lifespan of 50,000 hours (at 25°C operating temperature), the driver will last over 5 years if used 24/7, or over 15 years if used 8 hours per day. Its durable build and overheat protection further extend its lifespan.

Can it be used outdoors?

This driver is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor LED strip projects, look for weatherproof (IP65 or higher) versions of the Triac 30-36W Linear CV Strip Supply—contact our team for outdoor-compatible models.
