PLUG-IN POWER SUPPLIES
Plug-in power supplies are your least expensive option in terms of both cost and labor. Simply connect a DC jack supply lead to your tape and connect to the DC end of the power supply and you are ready to plug in to a standard outlet. The max wattage on a plug-in power supply is typically lower than direct wire power supplies, therefore plug-ins are more ideal for smaller projects. Also, unless prior planning allows for the outlet to be hidden, the cord to the nearest outlet might be visible.
DIRECT WIRE DIMMABLE POWER SUPPLIES
Direct wire dimmable power supplies offer voltage control to help manage the power to your LED lighting system – ultimately maintaining the life of the product. These power supplies have an integrated wiring component – so no additional NEMA accessory component is required. This type of power supply will be mid-tier in terms of expense (cost + labor) as it requires prior planning and access to wall wiring. However, a greater amount of lighting can be connected to higher wattage models - maximizing the number of power supplies needed per design. Those with lower wattage are ideal for islands or small jobs to avoid having to run additional wire to remote installations.
LED DRIVER + DIMMER
Having a driver + dimmer in one may seemingly appear to be the most expensive option; however it is a quite cost-effective option. With the driver + dimmer in one, you are purchasing, stocking, and installing one item – eliminating the need to install a dimmer separately. The driver + dimmer in one also reduces time spent selecting a compatible dimmer as that has been done for you.
