The driver automatically regulates the output voltage. A constant current driver monitors the amount of current through the circuit and automatically regulates the voltage to maintain a stated current. A constant current driver should only be used in applications where required. For more detailed information, please fee free to contact us at sales@ledsupply.com

The Mean Well APC-series are constant current LED drivers. The MR16 bulbs you are describing require a constant voltage source. We would recommend the APV series (https://www.ledsupply.com/power-supplies/mean-well-apv-led-power-supply). This is assuming the bulbs are compatible with 12V DC.

BEST ANSWER: Thanks for reaching out, this blog post is the best resource for replacing the AL-2163 driver/light. If you only need to replace the driver then the APC-16-350 would work the best; so you would select 16 for wattage and 350mA for output. If you need to replace the LEDs as well then this complete retrofit lamp kit would be the better option. If you need any more support on this subject please email us directly at sales@ledsupply.com for the fastest reply.

Most LED strips use a power supply, not a driver because they are made for constant voltage input. You can send our team an email at sales@ledsupply.com with the specifications (watts/meter etc.) and we can help find the right power supply.

BEST ANSWER: Unfortunately, we do not carry a driver with 580mA output. The closest match would be the 500mA output Mean Well APC (APC-25-500). The input voltage range is 90-264, so it would not work if you are using 277 VAC input.

BEST ANSWER: Yes, we would recommend going up to the 35-Watt model. The 25-Watt model has a maximum output voltage of 24V, where the original driver started at 25V. The actual required voltage of the light must be at or close the 24V maximum of the 25-Watt model, so the driver is reducing the output current to maintain the circuit.

BEST ANSWER: We wouldn't be able to provide an exact replacement due to the output current of 460mA. Most commercially available LED drivers have output current of 350,500,700 or 1150 mA. You do not want to exceed the rated current, so we would suggest looking at a 350mA model. Specifically, the Mean Well APC-35-350 (35-Watt, 350mA) has an output voltage range of 28-100 VDC.
