Description

The Collingwood DRV150700 is a 30W constant-current LED driver designed to power compatible residential landscape luminaires. It converts a 220–240V AC mains supply into a controlled DC output, with five selectable current settings: 150mA, 250mA, 350mA, 500mA and 700mA.

For electricians installing garden lighting, or homeowners buying the components for a planned installation, the selectable output makes it easier to match the driver to the requirements of the chosen lights. Compatibility must still be checked against each fitting’s specified drive current and the combined electrical load.

Choose the light level during installation

Built-in DIP switches allow the installer to select the output current. On compatible luminaires, a lower permitted current setting reduces brightness, power consumption and operating temperature. This can be useful when softer lighting is required around planting, paths or garden features.

These are fixed installation settings. The driver is non-dimmable, so selectable output should not be confused with brightness adjustment from a wall dimmer.

The factory default is 350mA. The installer should check this setting before connecting the luminaires and must not exceed their maximum permitted drive current.

Check both current and voltage when selecting your lights

This is a constant-current driver, rather than a fixed 12V or 24V power supply. Its stated output voltage range is 2.5–42V DC, and compatible luminaires are connected in series.

Although the product is described as a 30W driver, the available output depends on the selected current. The installation instructions specify maximum loads of 6.3W at 150mA, 10.5W at 250mA, 14.7W at 350mA, 21W at 500mA and 29.4W at 700mA.

The number of fittings it can power therefore depends on their voltage requirements, the selected current and the allowance needed for voltage drop along the cable.

Compact housing for a protected installation

The white polycarbonate housing measures 98 × 43 × 22mm, making it straightforward to assess the space required before installation. Class II construction and a SELV output are specified, together with open-circuit, short-circuit and self-resetting overtemperature protection.

The driver itself is IP20 and is not waterproof. It is intended for an indoor location; where an external location is necessary, Collingwood’s instructions require a suitable waterproof enclosure. Outdoor cable connections also need appropriate protection.

Collingwood lists a five-year warranty, subject to its warranty terms and registration requirements.

FAQ's

How many lights can one driver power?

There is no universal fitting count. The installer must check the luminaires’ permitted current, combined forward voltage, total load and cable voltage drop against the driver’s limits.

How much voltage headroom is needed?

Collingwood advises allowing for cable voltage drop and states that 2V of headroom is sufficient for most installations. Longer cable runs still need an installation-specific calculation.

Can I connect thirteen ground lights?

The instructions give an example of thirteen GL019 luminaires at 3V each, totalling 39V and leaving 3V of headroom. This is a specific example, rather than approval for thirteen lights of any model. Check the exact luminaire version and installation requirements.

What is the factory default setting?

The installation instructions identify 350mA as the default. The installer must verify the setting before connecting the lights.

Can I select 700mA to make any compatible light brighter?

Only if that exact luminaire is approved for 700mA operation. Collingwood warns against exceeding a luminaire’s specified maximum drive current.

Can the driver be installed outdoors?

The driver is IP20 and is not waterproof. Collingwood’s instructions require an indoor location or a suitable waterproof box. Any enclosure must also allow the driver to operate within its temperature limits.

Do outdoor cable joints need separate protection?

Yes. The instructions require suitable waterproof junction boxes to maintain protection at connections, giving Collingwood JB2 and JB4 as examples. These protect the connections; they do not waterproof the driver housing.
