Estar LED Tech Co. LED Power Driver
On this page, you will find the 60 watt LED power driver for home applications for use with the Estar Tech LED lights. Additionally, the 10-port terminal block extender and extension lead wires are also shown. When installing the LED lights in your home, you need this driver. It converts your 120 volt AC power into 12 volt DC power for the low voltage lights. One to six lights can easily attach into this driver with the 6 available ports on the driver. Then there is a port for the terminal block extender which gives you 10 addtional ports to use. So you can connect up to 16 lights to one driver if you need to. Lights are only 3 watts each and shown on the Estar LED lights page. No worries of maxing out the driver when connecting up to 48 watts of lights. And look at all that power savings you get with LED lighting.
How do I know how many LED power drivers I will need
In most kitchen applications, you may want to space your under cabinet lights about 14 to 18" apart. THERE IS NO SET RULE. It is preference, and the length of your cabinet runs are going to help decide that too. Thus if you have a 36" wide upper cabinet, it is your choice to add 2 or 3 lights to its underside. If two, you can space them in 12" On Center from each end thus giving you equal spacing across the three feet. If you opt for 3 lights and space the outer two close to the ends of the cabinet and then center the third, you may be about 14 to 15" apart. And L-shaped cabinet banks offer a new twist on how you space them.
Generally, the closer the lights are together, and the greater number of them, the greater amount of light on your countertops. For mullion glass cabinet doors, you could add a light per door. That gives a nicer effect when the light is centered behind the door, or two lights behind two doors for double door upper cabinets. You don't want to hide a light behind the frames of the doors, and then throw bad shadow lines into the room. All of this applies to bathroom cabinets, bedroom furniture, hutches, or anywhere else you plan to mount the lights.
Thus you may end up with zones. Especially when a window, microwave, or oven inhibit you from running wires across the room. So you need an LED power driver PER ZONE. If you have only one zone of light, which is true of most small to medium size kitchens, then you need just the one driver. But you can connect 1 to 16 lights per driver. For 7 or more, you need the help of the 10-port terminal block shown on this page.
Extension leads are used for longer runs when the lights start getting farther away from a driver's location. Best to center a driver if your power source allows it and run lights in two directions away from the driver. Less need for extension wires.

For marine vessel applications, Carver Yachts, Formula Boats, and others, you most likely will not need anything from this web page. If you are just retrofitting old halogen lights to LED lights, you will nip the connector end off the lead wire on the lights and just splice the lights into your existing wiring.
