30W 24V EC Series Adjustable LED Driver – IP20
Professional fanless LED driver from our EC Series, designed for reliable powering of 24V LED strips and modules indoors.
This model includes a built-in DIP switch that allows you to select one of four preset brightness levels (40%, 60%, 80% or 100%) and to independently enable or disable the soft-start function. The soft-start feature can be used with any brightness setting. When activated, the driver powers up gradually to reduce inrush current.
All models in this series operate on 175-264V AC input.
Important – This is a Non-Dimmable Driver
This driver is not dimmable. It cannot be used with wall dimmers, mains dimmers, 0-10V controllers, or any external dimming system. The only way to reduce light output is by using the DIP switch to permanently set one of the four brightness levels. Once set, the level remains fixed.
Choosing the Right Wattage
We offer this driver in multiple wattages (30W, 60W, 100W, 200W, 300W, 400W and 500W). If you plan to use the DIP switch brightness presets, choose a driver wattage reasonably close to your actual LED load. Using a much larger driver (for example a 60W driver on a 20W load) will not give good results on the lower brightness settings. If you only need simple on/off operation and do not plan to use the brightness presets, then using a larger driver than your load is perfectly fine.
To the main features belong the DIP switch selectable brightness levels of 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%, the independent soft-start function via DIP switch to reduce inrush current, the fanless design for silent and maintenance-free operation, the silicone-potted construction for extra durability, and the constant voltage output which is ideal for LED strips. The driver also includes built-in protection against short circuit, overload, over-voltage and over-temperature. It is IP20 rated for indoor use and comes with a 3-year warranty.
Technical Specifications
The reference is HL-30W-24V-IP20-EC. The output is 24V DC with a maximum current of 1.25A. The input voltage range is 175–264V AC. The dimensions are 135 × 35 × 23 mm. The IP rating is IP20 (non-waterproof) and the warranty is 3 years.
Continuous Operation & Long-Term Reliability
This driver is designed to operate safely at full load. However, running with some headroom (for example keeping the load 10–20% below maximum) reduces operating temperature and component stress, resulting in longer service life — especially important in commercial installations.
Installation & Inrush Current Notes
Like most constant voltage LED drivers, this model has an inrush current when first switched on. This is normal behaviour and not a fault with the driver. The built-in soft-start function (selectable via the DIP switch) helps reduce this inrush current. If your circuit breaker does not trip when switching on, there is no issue.
When installing multiple drivers on the same circuit, the total inrush current should be considered. You can find more detailed guidance here: Surge Current Suppressor for Inrush Protection in LED Lighting. For installations where inrush current is a concern, we also offer the Surge Current Suppressor (HL-S1-SX).

This product must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current regulations.
