Custom LED Driver & Light Control Industrial Design
For LED Module reliability, long lifetime, and precise performance.
Custom LED modules often require specific electrical and control characteristics that standard, off-the-shelf drivers and controllers cannot provide. This is especially true for high-power constant current modules, operating at currents above 1000 mA or at voltages between 50 V and 270 V, where electrical stability, thermal behavior, and safety must be carefully engineered.
Many applications also require advanced lighting control, such as ON/OFF switching, dimming, dynamic white tuning, color control (RGB/RGBW), or even fast flashing up to 1000 Hz. Controls may be implemented per module, per LED group, or per individual LED—depending on the needs of the project. We support numerous control protocols, including SCADA, Arduino, Casambi, DALI, DMX, KNX, 0-10V, and more.
A custom LED driver or controller can integrate all required intelligence either on-board or on a dedicated control PCB. With our professional industrial design process, your LED module will operate efficiently, safely, and precisely according to your application requirements.
Design for Performance
With hundreds of high-power LED systems designed over the past two decades, we have the experience and technical depth required to develop custom LED drivers, custom LED controllers, and combined driver-control systems that ensure the optimal performance of the LED modules we design.
During the design process, we evaluate all relevant performance criteria, define the exact specification values, and select the components that best meet them. This results in a highly optimized, manufacturable driver or control system that delivers predictable, long-term performance.
Technical Characteristics We Consider
We evaluate all key technical parameters that define the specifications and use-case of a custom LED Driver or Control System—including, electrical characteristics, efficacy, lifetime, control options, thermal limits, form factor and protection rating—to ensure the design precisely matches the requirements of your application.
