LED Drivers and Transformers

LED Transformers are AC to low voltage DC, or Direct Current, transformers that take the 120V AC (Alternating Current) from your wall outlets and steps it down and regulates it to a manageable 12V or other voltage that's safer for your lighting needs. The transformer keeps you from being electrocuted and reduces the risk of fire breaking out.

LED DC Transformers only supply electricity 20 feet in any direction away from itself. Therefore, when configuring your kitchen, plan to have your transformer placed in the middle. It then supplies power 20 feet in any direction. Every 20 feet, you will need another transformer or power supply.

LED Transformers and LED Drivers both transform 120V current to 12V. When buying Lighting products, it is best to keep all of your LED products from the same manufacturer. Therefore, if the LED lights you are buying are from manufacturer A then purchase a transformer from manufacturer A.

Therefore, if the LED lights you are buying are from manufacturer B, then purchase a power supply driver from manufacturer B.
