ATX LED Recommended LEDs / DR2 or DR1 Channel
Max # of Fixtures
| ATX LED Model | Series / Parallel | Year | # of Fixtures with AL-WS DR1 | # of Fixtures with AL-WS DR2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PZS0840 4000m F Pant | S | 2023 | 5 | 10 |
| PZS0850 4500m F CCT S | S | 2023 | 5 | 10 |
| PZS0840 4000m F Pant | P | 2023 | Auto limited total power < 75w | |
| AL-DR2-WS (CCT) | S | 2023 | 5 | 10 |
*Auto limit means that you can wire in as many as you want in parallel, with the total system automatically limiting to the maximum wattage safely supported.
How Does ATX LED Manage Voltage Differences in Series LED Circuits?
LED lumen output is a product of current, not voltage.
Background / Summary of Current to Lumen Generation
LED brightness depends on the current flowing through the diode. While voltage may vary slightly across LEDs due to manufacturing variances or temperature, the current is what determines light output. ATX LED designs systems that focus on delivering the precise current needed for consistent lumen output across fixtures, ensuring stable performance regardless of wire length or voltage drop.
Details
Voltage drop across wiring and connectors is an immutable physical property. ATX LED systems fully compensate for this by focusing on current regulation rather than voltage regulation, allowing for consistent dimming and brightness across all fixtures in the system. This ensures that even as voltage varies, the LED output remains stable and efficient.
The ATX solution defines an entire system from the wire size to the distances to deliver the light. This allows our system to fully compensate for the "voltage drop" that is an immutable physical property of wire, connectors, temperature, and aging. We focus on delivering the current required, while staying under NEC limits, for the lowest installed cost, highest efficiency, longest lasting lighting system with perfect dimming.
