如何選擇合適的LED照明電源

　　隨著高亮度LED的擴(kuò)散，為商業(yè)和家用照明提供替換燈，電源供應(yīng)解決方案也會(huì)出現(xiàn)同樣的（如果不是更大的）擴(kuò)散。從幾十個(gè)廠家的數(shù)百種產(chǎn)品，它就變成了一個(gè)問(wèn)題：如何使輸入/輸出電壓和輸出電流/額定功率的所有排列的感覺(jué)，說(shuō)的機(jī)械尺寸/終端類(lèi)型和調(diào)光，許多其他功能沒(méi)有遠(yuǎn)程控制和保護(hù)電路，提供。本文旨在解開(kāi)不同類(lèi)型LED電源的奧秘，以及它們?nèi)绾芜\(yùn)作，以簡(jiǎn)化選擇過(guò)程。

　　Understand your LED lighting application first

　　In order to determine the type of power supply best suited for a particular lighting project， it is first necessary to understand the nature of the application， i.e. what form the LED lighting will take and where and how it will be deployed. There is no unique segmentation， but the ‘where’ usually relates to the broad market， while the ‘what’ or ‘how’ is more about the function or characteristic of the lighting. Typical market segments for lighting are retail， industrial， and architectural along with the terms ‘indoor’， covering commercial and residential use， and ‘outdoor’ for street lighting and building illumination. Already there is an overlap in these descriptions， so it is probably more helpful to explore a few examples in a little more detail to appreciate what they may require from a power supply.
