1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation and operation of your goobay 65586 LED Transformer. This compact LED driver is designed to supply constant current (CC) to LED lamps, effectively preventing flickering and heat-related wear of connected LEDs. Unlike constant voltage (CV) transformers, constant current drivers enable consistent light quality and brightness and ensure uniform current across all LEDs, even in series connections.
Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and retain it for future reference.
2. Safety Instructions
WARNING: Electrical installation should only be performed by qualified personnel. Incorrect installation can lead to electric shock, fire, or damage to the product.
- Ensure the power supply is disconnected before any installation or maintenance work.
- Do not exceed the maximum rated power of 20 W.
- This transformer is designed for indoor use only (IP20). Do not expose to moisture or direct water.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the transformer to prevent overheating. The flat design ensures low heat generation, but adequate airflow is still important.
- The product is approved for installation in furniture.
- This LED transformer is not dimmable.
- Maintain safe electronic isolation according to protection class II.

4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for safe and correct installation of the LED transformer.
- Disconnect Power: Before starting any electrical work, ensure the main power supply to the circuit is switched off at the breaker.
- Prepare Wiring: Strip approximately 5-7 mm of insulation from the ends of your input (AC) and output (DC) wires.
- Connect Input (PRI):
Figure 4.1: Close-up view of the orange input (PRI) screw terminals on the goobay 65586 LED Transformer, labeled 'N' and 'L' for neutral and live connections.
- Locate the input terminals labeled "PRI" (Primary) or "220-240 V" on the transformer.
- Connect the live (L) wire from your AC mains to the 'L' terminal and the neutral (N) wire to the 'N' terminal. Secure the wires firmly using the screw terminals.
- Connect Output (SEC):
Figure 4.2: Close-up view of the green output (SEC) screw terminals on the goobay 65586 LED Transformer, labeled '+' and '-' for positive and negative DC connections to the LEDs.
- Locate the output terminals labeled "SEC" (Secondary) or "17-28.5 V" on the transformer.
- Connect the positive (+) wire from your LED fixture(s) to the '+' terminal and the negative (-) wire to the '-' terminal. This transformer is designed for series connection of LEDs. Ensure the total voltage drop of your LED series falls within the 17-28.5 V range and the total power does not exceed 20 W.
- Secure the wires firmly using the screw terminals.
- Mounting: The transformer's compact and flat design allows for discreet mounting, such as behind cabinets or within furniture. Ensure the mounting location allows for adequate air circulation.
- Restore Power: Once all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the circuit.

5. Operating Instructions
Once correctly installed and powered, the goobay 65586 LED Transformer will automatically provide a constant current to the connected LED lights. No further user interaction is required for its basic operation.
- The transformer ensures a stable and flicker-free light output from your LEDs.
- This model is a constant current driver and is specifically designed for series connection of LEDs.
- As noted in the safety instructions, this transformer is not dimmable.
6. Maintenance
The goobay 65586 LED Transformer requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check the wiring connections to ensure they remain secure. Inspect the casing for any signs of damage or overheating.
- Repair: Do not attempt to open or repair the transformer yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LED lighting system, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LEDs do not light up. | No power supply. Incorrect wiring. Faulty LED(s). Overload. | Check circuit breaker and power connections. Verify input (L/N) and output (+/-) connections. Test LEDs with a known working power source. Ensure total LED power does not exceed 20 W. |
| LEDs flicker or are dim. | Loose connections. Incorrect LED type (not constant current compatible). Underload/Overload. | Check all wiring connections for tightness. Ensure LEDs are designed for constant current drivers (700 mA). Verify the connected LED load is within the 12 W minimum and 20 W maximum range. |
| Transformer is hot. | Poor ventilation. Overload. | Ensure adequate airflow around the transformer. Reduce the connected LED load to stay within 20 W. |
