The specifications for LED lighting devices are highly diverse. LED driver manufacturers typically use mechanical methods, such as DIP switches or potentiometers, to adjust the drivers' output current.
However, neither of these methods allows for precise, intuitive, and rapid current adjustments. To meet the needs of customers seeking quick and accurate current settings, products manufactured by MEAN WELL and distributed by Electrónica OLFER combine NFC (Near Field Communication) technology to offer an intelligent wireless programming solution.
