Wattage is the unit used to measure the rate of energy transfer or power consumption in an electrical circuit or device.

LED drivers have an input and output voltage. The input voltage is usually mains voltage (230V AC) and the output voltage is usually 12V or 24V DC.

Constant voltage LED drivers are regulalry used with LED tape and have a constant, regulated voltage.

Constant voltage LED drivers have a 12V or 24V DC output voltage. They are mainly used to power LED tape and smaller LED light fittings.

Constant current LED drivers have a 350mA or 700mA output. They are used to power more specialised LED fittings that require a precise current.

Many other output voltages and currents are avaialble but these are the most popular examples.

AC standards for alternating current and DC standards for direct current.

Mains voltage is 230V AC and has a tolerance of 10%, some products are 220V or 240V AC which means they can be classed as mains voltage.

DC voltages usually require an LED driver to convert the mains voltage AC into low voltage DC. Popular DC voltages are 12V or 24V DC.

IP (International or Ingress Protection) defines a products level of resistance to dust and moisture. The first digit is for dust and the second digit is for moisture.

An IP65 rating offers a high resistance to moisture and is popular rating for outdoor lighting and electrical enclosures.

IP65 is usually specified for bathroom downlights but according to the Building Regulations, IP44 provides adequate protection for zones 1 & 2.
