1. Introduction
This instruction manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation of your REYLAX 24V 20W Dimmable LED Driver. This constant voltage power supply converts AC 120V to DC 24V and is compatible with various dimming methods, including Lutron, Leviton, Triac, 0-10V, 1-10V, PWM, and 100k resistor dimmers. It is designed for use with 24V LED strip lights and other constant voltage LED lighting applications, offering precise and stable dimming from 5% to 100%.
Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use, and retain it for future reference.
2. Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and prevent damage, observe the following safety precautions:
- Always disconnect power before installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
- This device is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the LED driver to prevent overheating.
- The LED driver features built-in protections: Short-Circuit, Over Current, Over Voltage, and Over Temperature. These features help maintain safe operation.
- Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 80% of the driver's rated power (e.g., for a 20W driver, load between 12W and 16W). A minimum load of 60% is recommended for optimal dimming performance.
- All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician and comply with local electrical codes.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.

4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the LED driver. Ensure power is disconnected before beginning.
- Open the Driver Casing: Use a small screwdriver to open the input and output port covers on the LED driver.
- Connect AC Power (Input): Connect the AC 100-130V input wires to the designated "N" (Neutral) and "L" (Live) terminals on the input side of the driver. If using a Triac dimmer, connect it in line with the AC power input.
- Connect DC 24V LED Lights (Output): Connect the 24V LED light wires to the "LED+" and "LED-" terminals on the output side of the driver.
- Connect Dimming Wires (Optional): If using 0-10V, 1-10V, PWM, or 100K resistor dimming, connect the dimmer's control wires to the "DIM+" and "DIM-" terminals.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all wire connections are tight and secure. Replace the input and output port covers.
- Mounting: The driver can be mounted using its rail mount feature or by securing it with screws through the designated mounting holes.
Important Note: For optimal performance and dimming effectiveness, ensure the connected LED load is between 60% and 80% of the driver's maximum capacity (e.g., for a 20W driver, the load should be between 12W and 16W).
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the REYLAX LED driver operates automatically. The dimming functionality is controlled by the connected dimmer switch.
Dimming Operation:
The driver supports a wide range of dimming protocols, allowing for smooth adjustment of light intensity from 5% to 100%. Use your compatible dimmer switch to achieve the desired brightness level.
The LED driver supplies constant voltage output, ensuring consistent light quality across the dimming range.

6. Maintenance
The REYLAX LED driver is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. To ensure its longevity and optimal performance, consider the following:
- Keep the driver clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Ensure adequate airflow around the unit. Do not cover the driver or install it in an enclosed space without proper ventilation.
- Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure.
- Avoid exposing the driver to excessive heat, direct sunlight, or moisture.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LED driver, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED lights do not turn on. | No power supply, incorrect wiring, faulty LED strip, or overloaded driver. | Check power connection. Verify input and output wiring. Test LED strip with another power source. Ensure load is within 60-80% of driver capacity. |
| Lights flicker or dim erratically. | Incompatible dimmer, unstable power supply, or load outside recommended range. | Ensure dimmer is compatible with the driver's dimming protocols (Triac, 0-10V, etc.). Verify stable AC input. Adjust load to be within 60-80% of driver capacity. |
| Driver makes a buzzing sound when lights are off. | This can occur when the circuit is powered on but the connected device is not consuming energy (e.g., smart lights in standby). | This is often normal behavior for some dimmable drivers when the load is very low or off. If the buzzing is excessive or occurs when lights are on, recheck connections and load. Ensure the dimmer is fully off if silence is required. |
| Driver is hot to the touch. | Overloaded, insufficient ventilation, or short circuit. | Reduce load if exceeding 80% capacity. Ensure adequate airflow around the driver. Check for any short circuits in the wiring. The driver has over-temperature protection and will shut down if it gets too hot. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact REYLAX customer support.
