  • Patent number: 8866393
    Abstract: Low voltage systems and methods, as well as a light assembly and LED driver are provided. In one aspect, a low voltage system is provided that is capable of drawing power from a power source having a first voltage, the system having at least one low voltage power supply connectable to the power source and having an output providing a second voltage that is lower than the first voltage. The system further has at least one low voltage load and circuit means connecting the output of the power supply to the at least one low voltage load. The at least one load can be a light assembly, and the light assembly can comprise one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs). Also provided is an LED driver that provides for one or more improved dimming characteristics. A light assembly employing the LED driver is also provided.
