Draft Details

This standard provides specifications and operating characteristics of non-integral electronic drivers (power supplies) for LED devices, arrays, or systems intended for general lighting applications, including indoor and outdoor, as well as specific cases such as LED Drivers with class 2 outputs, Class 4 LED Drivers, Digital LED Drivers as described in ANSI C137.4 , LED Drivers with metering capabilities as described in C136.52, LED Drivers for TYPE C TLEDs,  Power over Ethernet (PoE) LED drivers, LED drivers with power cut dimming capabilities, and luminaires or lighting systems assembled with two or more LED drivers.

Electronic drivers are devices that use semiconductors to control and supply DC power for LED device starting and operation. The drivers operate from supply sources up to 600 V AC or DC at a frequency of up to 60 Hz.

NOTE 1: In the future, this standard may include other devices such as light fidelity (LiFi) or visual light communication (VLC).

NOTE 2: The American National Standard for Roadway and Area Lighting Equipment — Metering Performance Requirements for LED Drivers with Integral Energy Measurement, ANSI C136.52 is in the process to be change into an ANSI C82.standard at the time of drafting this new edition.
