GLP GV6 LED Driver 320W 24V

LED driver 320W 24V

Waterproof, well-protected and robust LED driver 320W 24V, which is perfectly suitable for 24 V DC LED strips. The GV6 series 320 watt is a similar power package compared to the GLSV series. The height of this driver is 42 mm and the length is 97 mm. This is very suitable for larger LED installations, for example when there is a lot of indirect lighting . Regarding safety, there is overheating protection, short-circuit protection, overvoltage protection and overload protection. That’s how it should be!

Dimming LEDs

This driver cannot be dimmed, but you can install an LED dimmer between the driver and the light source as normal . This driver does not whine, which means this driver is silent even with dimmers. Many LED driver have a slight whine when using an LED dimmer. The whine occurs when the light output is about 80% and it is an annoying sound if you have a sensitive ear. This driver is quiet.

Advantages: safe, quality at a reasonable price, carefree

According to the technical specifications of this LED driver, it is not intended to be used in so-called no-load mode. The driver –> dimmer –> strip described above is a permitted installation method.

LED driver installation

This LED driver is suitable for 24 V DC LED strips, for example . The power is enough for about 29 meters of COB CC 8.6W LED strip, for example. Regarding safety, there is overheating protection, short circuit protection, overvoltage protection and overload protection. Of these, short circuit and overload protection work on the power cut principle. This means that in a problem situation, the LED driver starts to cut off the power and it makes the lights flicker. The power cut continues until the fault is removed. Overheating protection and overvoltage protection cut off the power from the 24 volt side –> the lights go out. The lights can be turned on by turning the power on again after the driver has cooled down and/or the overload has been removed.

The protections also work in a similar way in other high-quality LED driver. The driver cools itself with the air that circulates around it, so install it in a place where warm air can mix with the surrounding air. It is therefore not a good idea to place the driver in a sealed enclosure where the air cannot circulate. A good place in the kitchen is, for example, on top of the upper cabinets.

Sufficient LED driver power

The maximum power of this LED driver is a comfortable 320 watts and the operating voltage is 24 volts. When you are thinking about a suitable driver for an LED installation, it is worth taking a slightly more powerful LED driver than what the maximum load will be. We have a good blog post about choosing LED driver and their powers and it can be found here. The power of this driver is enough for about 80% load, for example:

Max for approx. 29 meters for 8.6W COB CC LED strip
Max for approx. 12 meters for 12W Premium COB LED strip

Typically, LED driver of this power are used for installations of more powerful LED strips. You can have LED strips of different power following one driver. For example, you can have this 320W LED driver and 2 or 3 1x8A wireless receivers and then groups of LED strips no. 1, no. 2 and no. 3. This way you can make 3 groups. You don’t necessarily need separate driver.

 

Other information:

• Splash-proof LED driver

• Built-in active PFC
• Conductors on the supply and secondary side
• Regarding safety, there is overload protection, short circuit protection, overvoltage protection, overheating protection (i.e. everything that can be)
• This is not intended to be used in so-called no-load mode, i.e. when unloaded.
• Can be connected to constant current
• Suitable for dry rooms, damp rooms and wet spaces
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor LED installations

Dimensions and connection instructions:

The general safety distance for LED driver to surrounding materials is 25 mm above and to the sides. When considering where to install the driver, make sure there is enough space around it. A driver with this power will heat up if there is a lot of load. Install the driver in a place where the driver has room to cool down and where you can access it if necessary. If there is a place for the driver, for example near a maintenance hatch, then checking it is an easy task.

You can add a plug to this driver if needed. Plugs can be found in our LED connectors product group.
