The new iDrive 1000 delivers an industry leading level of energy efficiency provided through new patent pending technology which delivers twice the power density of the iDrive Lite. The breakthrough in combining high power density with leading PSU efficiency ensures the iDrive 1000 has a small footprint and does not require large heatsinks.
A new feature enables iDrive 1000 users to choose the forward current, independently on all three channels between 500mA-1000mA. This enables users to select the forward current digitally by channel for optimum LED performance. Each channel's forward current can be precisely varied in 50mA steps via the LED display panel. Unlike most solutions in the market, there are no external DMX address switches, making it very quick to install and configure, the company says.
The 1000 provides an increased forward voltage range up to 55V per channel to allow for the increase in forward voltage in high power LEDs when driving these products at higher currents. Additional features include a master/slave option, increased internal preset programmes and user selectable thermister settings for desired fixture lumen maintenance in any environment.
