LED drivers and power supplies: matching loads
LED drivers must match voltage/current mode and wattage headroom. Mismatches cause flicker, shutdowns, and warranty fights.
Mode and margin
Know constant-current vs constant-voltage needs of the fixture.
Add power margin; do not run drivers at 100% continuously if avoidable.
Environment
IP and temperature rating must fit the install location.
Surge protection helps on unstable grids.
Sales habit
Never sell strips/fixtures without stating the required driver.
