The eldoLED SOLOdrive DC to DC family represents a new standard in precision LED driving and control, bringing exceptionally smooth dimming performance and compact design to modern indoor and track lighting applications. Built for the demands of contemporary architectural spaces where minimalist aesthetics and quiet ceilings are essential, these drivers deliver the flexibility and quality needed to support both form and function in next-generation lighting systems.
As part of eldoLED’s commitment to superior dimming control, the SOLOdrive DC to DC drivers achieve industry-best dimming performance down to 0.1%, reproducing the warmth and smooth fade characteristics traditionally associated with incandescent and halogen lamps through Dim to Warm technology. This creates natural, visually comfortable light transitions that enhance ambience and visual experience across any interior environment. Available in 32W and 50W fixture wattages, the SOLOdrive models operate at 57VDC and are fully compatible with DALI-2 and LEDcode protocols, ensuring seamless integration into professional lighting networks while maintaining fine-tuned control over every aspect of performance.
The 32W PCB LED driver within this family is purpose-built for track lighting applications, enabling advanced miniaturization that complements the growing market demand for compact, low-profile luminaires. Its open-frame PCB format allows for seamless integration into Stucchi MULTISYSTEM and MULTISYSTEM EVO track adapters, particularly within the 9519-166 single spot series, ensuring effortless installation without compromising aesthetics or thermal performance. Designed for systems powered by 48VDC, these drivers support a broad range of eldoLED solutions, including ECOdrive (dimming to 1%), SOLOdrive (dimming to 0.1%, including Dim to Warm variants), and DUALdrive (Tunable White) models.
These LED drivers deliver natural, flicker-safe dimming across the entire brightness range, ensuring consistent and smooth light transitions even under camera exposure in environments such as television studios or surveillance applications. The proprietary Hybrid HydraDrive dimming technology guarantees accurate, low-noise performance, while customizable parameters such as minimum dim level and dim curve allow precise tailoring to specific project requirements.
With full programmability through FluxTool software with LightShape technology, users can fine-tune driver performance across a broad operating window. Adjustable settings include output current (with 1mA resolution), dimming level, dimming curve, and Dim to Warm or Tunable White behaviors, depending on the selected model. The result is unmatched configurability for achieving the desired visual comfort, color tone, and output consistency across any lighting scenario.
From a performance standpoint, the SOLOdrive DC to DC family provides constant current SELV outputs for LEDs, with DC input operation at 48VDC and reliable performance at ambient temperatures up to 48°C. A comprehensive thermal protection system dynamically manages output current to maintain safe operating conditions. If internal temperatures rise above preset limits, the output current gradually decreases until stability is restored; if temperatures continue to climb, the system initiates an automatic protective shutdown.
The drivers also incorporate robust protection mechanisms for LED outputs, including short-circuit, open-circuit, and overload safeguards. In the event of a short or open circuit, the driver halts output and automatically attempts to restart every 400 milliseconds until normal operation resumes. During overload conditions, the driver intelligently reduces current output to maintain rated power, ensuring continued reliability without damage to components. Reverse polarity protection prevents current flow when connections are miswired, safeguarding the driver while maintaining electrical integrity, though attention is required to prevent potential LED load damage.
Through this combination of precision dimming, compact integration, advanced programmability, and comprehensive protection, the eldoLED SOLOdrive DC to DC series enables lighting manufacturers and system designers to create sleek, reliable, and visually refined fixtures that align with the evolving standards of modern lighting control systems.
