OUR NEW  DRV5-RV0  30 WATT  DRIVER
Preset Driver                       Adjustable Driver
    Shown above are the Preset Current Output and Adjustable Current Output models of NTP's new DRV5-RV0 that can deliver up to 2000 ma and drive up to six NTP LED3-RV0 440 lumen led boards in two parallel strings of three. The DRV5-RV0 can also drive higher current leds such as the Cree XML series perfectly. This little blue devil will make your leds shine with pride. It has basically the same specifications as our DRV1-RV7 drivers but can deliver more current and may only be powered by 40 volts DC maximum unlike the DRV1-RV7 which can be powered by 48 VDC maximum and is better for longer strings of one watt leds. The  DRV5-RV0 also has an optional on-board maximum current adjustment trimmer for those who like perfection. There are wire holes for a dimmer switch or on/off switch. We are extremely pleased with the operating temperature and performance of this new driver board. Great care was taken during the board design to make the on-board sink plane very efficient. As well the mounting holes are unmasked thus allowing less thermal resistance should one need to mount them on a heatsink. All of our tests so far have been done without any external heatsink. My best advice is to use these to drive FOUR LED3-RV1 NTP double led boards in series with a 28 Volt DC supply, setting the drivers to 700ma. With a 38VDC supply you can run up to FIVE 440 lumen boards totalling  320 watts equivalent of incandescent lighting (LED3-RV1) setting the drivers at 700ma OR use two parallel strings of THREE LED3-RV1 NTP double led boards totalling 2640 lumen setting the drivers at 1400ma with the on-board trimmer with a 24 VDC power supply for the most bang for your buck. These are definitely the most versatile  constant current LED drivers on the market at this time. These are available in 350ma, 500ma, 700ma, 1000ma, 1400ma, 1700ma and adjustable current output from 100ma to 2000ma. All models have output short protection, overload protection and thermal shutdown protection. All wire holes can accept up to 20 gage stranded wire.

NOTE: In 2022 we added Over Voltage / Surge Protection on the driver control line inputs. This is better protection for outdoor installations with multiple drivers and long control lines connecting to a controller such as our DIM4.

DRV1-RV7 20 WATT DRIVER (Discontinued)

OPEN DRIVER
     This is NTP's  DRV1-RV7 20 WATT DRIVER.It has many options including connections for an off-board dimmer switch.The dimmer resistor can easily be inserted in the board. Over 20 of these can be run by any of our dimmers and the DRV3-RV1 DIMMER-DRIVER. 

    These 20 Watt Led drivers can be driven by up to 48 Vdc and can deliver up to 1000mA to power strings of  Leds. For example, up to thirteen 1 watt leds or six 3 watt leds can be driven by one of these drivers. All internal components are overrated for high reliability. All inputs and outputs have protection circuitry including the control input. Power components are overrated at 6A including the current sensing resistor, inductor and kickback diode. The drivers are available in preset current outputs of 350mA, 700mA and 1000mA. The OPTIONAL control input lead wire allows for soft-on, dimming, and precise custom current outputs with an external resistor or potentiometer. They are also available with a mounting tab for a small additional cost per unit. Custom preset currents are also available in quantities of 10 or more at no additional cost. The control input wire is OPTIONAL on all models and no resistor or pot is necessary for models without a control wire. Our new DRV5-RV0  30 WATT  DRIVER is also available for more power.  It has become our most popular driver. All models have output short protection, overload protection and thermal shutdown protection. All wire holes can accept up to 20 gage stranded wire.

    We recently added SINGLE LED BOARDS  to our list of products. They are available with any of the color or white leds as shown in the data sheets above. The model numbers are shown on the data sheets.

NTP also has 5 WATT Double Led Boards Model LED5-RV0 (Warm White) and LED6-RV0 (Neutral White)  We also have them in colors: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, TEAL, BLUE,  and MAGENTA. Each have two 2.5 watt leds and a total of 440 lumens running at 700ma. The colored leds are lower in lumens as all color leds are inherently lower. See the LED COLOR PDF data sheet link above for details. This new led board is very easy to mount with two 1/8" rivet or #4 bolt holes
. The double led board only requires a total heatsink area of 12 square inches and still runs at 40 degrees C. (104 degrees F). The leds are connected in series resulting in a forward voltage drop of approximatley 7.0 volts. The boards also have pads for connecting the leds separately or in parallel and have notches where they may be cut in two for use as single leds. We use the highest quality led dies and the color temperature is 3000-3200k for Warm White and 4000-4500k for the Neutral White. We can supply special quantity orders in any color range from 3000k to 6000k. These led boards run cooler and use less current than typical hi power leds on boards  currently on the market for the same lumens output. We now have several thousand in stock. Quantity orders will be filled in three weeks or less. They are very popular. We sold over 700 before the first production was finished! The boards are white in color with large solder pads for easy connections. Unlike other current led boards on the market these may be easily soldered when already attached to a heat sink. The recommended area for a heatsink made of a thin plate of aluminum is 12 square inches or more.

Touch Switch PDF Data Sheet

   NTP also has a new TSW1-RV2 Proximity Touch Switch controller that can be added to a system with a dimmer controller or used alone as a driver controller. Standard models can be mounted behind up to 1/4" thick and custom models up to 1" thick non-conductive non-metallic panels and is simply attached to the back of the panel with hot glue or other method of choice. It does not actually have to be touched of course. The custom model with 1" distance is preferred for non-human contact applications. It defaults to ON or can be supplied to default to OFF for a stand alone controller on-off switch. When used with other controllers on the same control line it is best to default to OFF. It uses typically less than 3 ma to run and can be powered using an 8 to 48 VDC supply. Board size is 1.721" x 0.918". Overall board thickness is less than 3/8". This can easily be mounted behind any plate or in any plastic or metal box that has a plastic front panel up to 1/4" thick. I can control an unlimited number of drivers. Touch to turn off, touch to turn on. These can be potted in hot glue or epoxy and are available dipped in a weatherproof coating. These switches can be used to power on or off anything that uses electricity. The output can sink up to 200ma continuous, 500ma pulse, 400mw at 60 VDC maximum.

COMING SOON!

    NTP also has a new DIM6-RV0 that will be available soon. Besides being a great soft on-off controller the SLOW on-off models will be an excellent fish light dimmer for aquariums, having a gradual
on-off time of 60 seconds to 7 MINUTES!   SOFT on-off models will have a one second on-off time for a pleasing on-off effect. I has the same output impedance and levels as all of our other dimmers and also has the same PWM frequency with 0-100% modulation. As well since it is a Voltage Controlled PWM an external voltage control input is provided for use as an audio level light controller or even a motor controller (if an external power mosfet is added to handle the motor current). Your imagination is the limit with this one. As usual it is designed for long life and reliability in many enviroments.
