Scenarios To Use Each Lighting Drivers

Updated on July 16, 2026

Decor offers two types of drivers. Your application will determine which driver to use.

If you want to use a compatible dimmable wall switch, then use the dimmable driver. This driver has 60 watts power output and requires a minimum of 4 watts. An electrician will run regular 110v wires from the dimmable wall switch to the spot the dimmable driver will be located which should be accessible.

However, if you have a standard 110 V plug, then you need the constant driver. This driver has 60 watts power output. An electrician can connect the plug to a standard toggle/rocker wall switch or hardwire the plug for constant power to use cabinet box switches with the constant driver. The installer will connect an extension lead and a 6-way switch distributor to the constant driver for the puck or strip light connection.

SCENARIO 1: COMPATIBLE DIMMABLE WALL SWITCH NEEDS THE DIMMABLE DRIVER (LT-DRIVER-DIMM)

Note: it is recommended that the driver is accessible. The location will be determined by the designer. 4 Watts minimum load is required for this driver.

Note: cabinet box switches do not work with the dimmable driver.

Note: a 2-meter extension lead is available if you need to extend the puck or strip lead to the 6-way bare distributor.

SCENARIO 2: STANDARD TOGGLE / ROCKER WALL SWITCH WIRED TO 110 PLUG USES THE CONSTANT DRIVER (LT-DRIVER-CONS)

Note: the plug location will be determined by the designer.

Note: a 2-meter extension lead is available if you need to extend the puck or strip lead to the 6-way bare distributor.

SCENARIO 3: CABINET BOX SWITCH, NO WALL SWITCH. YOU NEED A HARDWIRED 110 PLUG USES THE CONSTANT DRIVER (LT-DRIVER-CONS)

Note: the plug location will be determined by the designer.

Note: a 2-meter extension lead is available if you need to extend the puck or strip lead to the 6-way bare distributor.
