About

LED Driver NFC Config Tool

Features
Read full description

Precisely set the output current: Bring the phone close to the NFC detection area of the driver to read the data, then set the required output current as needed and write it to the driver. The LED Driver NFC Config Tool can significantly change the output current to meet various operational requirements, and can also achieve precise 1mA adjustment to meet specific energy consumption demands. Ensure that the equipment is always in the best electrically driven state to effectively extend the service life and performance of the equipment. Flexible control of constant luminous flux output (CLO) : As the lifespan of an LED increases, its luminous flux will decrease. The LED Driver NFC Config Tool extends the lifespan of the lamp by enabling or disabling the CLO function of the device, adjusting parameters, and increasing current output when the luminous flux of the lamp module decreases. This provides users with a better lighting experience and ensures a stable level of brightness output. Simple and intuitive operation interface: The operation interface design of LED Driver NFC Config Tool is user-centered, concise and clear, and easy to operate. Even those who come into contact with it for the first time can master it quickly in a short period of time. The distribution of each parameter setting option is reasonable, and the ICONS and text clues are clear. Therefore, even complex parameter Settings can be accomplished through simple swiping and clicking, saving time and effort. There is no need for complex control of DALI master. Users can quickly set DALI by themselves, saving labor and time costs.
