The WorkHorse LED Extreme series consists of two series of drivers: XP and XE. The XP Series includes the industry's first outdoor LED driver with integrated wireless control to simplify customization and field installation. The WorkHorse LED XE Series offers up to 5000mA of output current programming. Both series are rated IP65.

The new WorkHorse LED XP Series drives are available in five power configurations: 40W, 60W, 100W, 150W and 200W. The high-power WorkHorse LED unit has MCU control circuitry, including MCU-controlled health monitoring, and black box data is captured for on-site analysis. The integrated wireless version supports Tvilight's City Manager control software, a key component of Smart City. The 0-10V dimming version supports dimming to 10% power. All XP Series drives can be programmed with custom dimming curves to customize NTC thermal feedback and power output. Adjustable output power allows the drive to be substituted into the fixture without affecting performance or lumen output.

All high-power LEDXP series drivers include intelligent drive over-temperature protection and intelligent module over-temperature protection via NTC input for extended life.

The new WorkHorse LED XE series drives are available in two output configurations: 96W and 185W. The driver supports 0-10V dimming and programmable output current.

All WorkHorse LED Extreme drivers are configured using a handheld programmer or PC with Fulham SmartSet computer software. These tools address one of the main challenges faced by LED luminaire manufacturers - how to adjust the output current of the drive for optimum efficiency and performance.

Alvaro Garcia, Director of Fulham LED Driver Products, said: "Programmable outdoor lighting is part of Fulham's vision for the future, with smart, connected, controlled lighting. Our new programmable WorkHorse LED drivers can be used in any harsh environment lighting applications, including outdoor And retrofits, because we offer the widest voltage range in the industry, our customers can reduce SKUs without limiting their inventory capabilities. We see that this clever, programmable lighting solution requires more in the next few years. More market attention."

The WorkHorse LED Extreme Driver features IP65 rating, 6kV or 4kV internal surge protection and a five-year warranty. The product supports 347VAC or universal voltage input for operation around the world.
