AC alternatives Ok, now I've been investigating home-brewed LED solutions whose power source is ultimately 120V house line for awhile, on and off. The “typical” approach, and the only one I considered when I started this thread, is to use a driver circuit to generate constant-current power. I...

Very interested in knowing the outcome here....

Do you mean the 60W Dimmable Power Supply / Driver combo he's using? I'm not sure how that applies, since it's apparently an all-purpose driver, is constant-voltage rather than constant current, and, according to his recent post, is apparently not even a power-supply at all, somehow? (false...

He said it does, using any A/C-side dimmer

Ok, I'm going to order some LEDs in the next couple of weeks to emulate a single solution for our new build. It'll be a series of 8 single LEDs. I'll send a drawing and the LED choice(s); how will I go about providing payment and shipping information to order a constant-current driver? And...

I'll probably stick to 24V. I think that'll be sufficient, and I'm not running long lines, as I was originally thinking I might, in which case the line-loss was a consideration. So I may be interested. What would you say, in your humble opinion:), do your drivers bring to the table that...

THANK YOU! I finally caught-up reading all of these great posts. Thank you so much for chiming in, jtl; with all this input, I think I can make a great educated decision on some tester LEDs to purchase and hook up, and be able to shop for some power supplies, drivers, etc. You mentioned, jtr...

Actually, 125F is pretty common on the supply side, and the return, in some conditions, may not be as far from that as one might imagine. However, the flow would be just about right (and noiseless), and likely I could indeed keep them very close to 40C. They'd probably do a handy job of...

I know -- your thread back then is one I've studied, and was a chief inspiration for this post! Thanks! I was a little disappointed to see the project fizzle, by the end of the thread; hopefully you have a chance to get back to it sometime, or do a project like it in the future. I confess...

We're about to start construction on our new home. I'd like to design the lighting, and, inspired by threads like http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php/7919-Wiring-a-house-for-LED and the fantastic input of those like jtr, I'd like to run some numbers by you pros and get any feedback...
