LED Power Supplies and Drivers
for Every Installation

12V is the older standard. Some basic LED strips, EL inverters, and entry-level products still use it. 24V is the current standard for most professional LED strip lighting, including Pixel-Free LED and Wavelux products. 24V allows longer runs with less voltage drop, which means more consistent brightness across the entire strip.

5V products (pixel-addressable strips, Laser Wire) require their own dedicated 5V supplies. These are not interchangeable with 12V or 24V supplies.

You need a dimmable driver only if you plan to control brightness from a wall dimmer switch or building automation system. If you are using a wireless controller (RF remote, Zigbee, WiFi, Bluetooth) to dim your LEDs, the dimming happens at the controller level and you do not need a dimmable power supply. A standard non-dimmable supply works fine in that case.

The Wavelux Dimmable and Wavelux Slimline drivers support 5-in-1 dimming: TRIAC (leading/trailing edge), 0-10V, PWM, resistance, and DALI. This covers virtually every wall dimmer and automation protocol on the market. These drivers also provide flicker-free output, which matters for video, film, and retail environments where camera flicker is a concern.

For simple plug-in setups or projects where dimming is handled by a separate LED controller, the standard AC adapters in this collection are the right choice.

All-in-one units combine a power supply and an LED controller in a single device. Instead of buying a separate power supply and a separate Zigbee or WiFi controller, you get both functions in one box with a single power input and a single LED output.

The Auralux RGBW All-In-One Zigbee 60W is the best example. It takes 110V AC wall power, converts it to the correct DC voltage, and includes a full RGBW Zigbee controller that connects to Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Philips Hue Bridge. You go from wall outlet to smart-controlled RGBW LED lighting with a single device and zero additional hardware.

These are ideal for clean installations where minimizing the number of components matters, or for smart home setups where you want voice and app control without a separate controller and power supply taking up space.

Plug-in AC adapters are right for temporary setups, portable installations, display booths, and any project where you want the ability to unplug and move the lighting. They connect to a standard wall outlet with no electrician required.

Hard-wire power supplies are right for permanent architectural or commercial installations where the supply will be wired directly to line voltage behind a wall, above a ceiling, or inside a junction box. These are typically required for building code compliance in commercial settings and should be installed by a licensed electrician.

If you're unsure which approach fits your project, the general rule is: if you'd hire an electrician for the wiring, use a hard-wire supply. If you're plugging into an existing outlet, use an AC adapter.
