The Control Box Behind Your Colour Change Lighting
The CCDRV200DMX is the driver that sits between your DMX control system and your colour change fittings, turning a DMX signal into the power those fittings actually need. It's a piece of kit rather than a light itself, but it's the part that makes a colour changing scheme actually respond to commands.
A Compact Metal Unit Built for Cabinets, Not Show
It comes in a plain silver metal enclosure with a small digital display on the front, so an installer can see status at a glance without opening anything up. At 330mm long, 79mm wide and 39mm deep, it's sized to sit inside a control cabinet, ceiling void or plant room rather than on display, and it connects using screw terminals for a solid, serviceable wiring job.
How It Works
This driver takes a DMX control signal in and outputs 24V DC constant voltage power across four separate channels, one each for red, green, blue and white. That's what lets it run RGB and RGBW colour change fittings and LED strip in sync with the rest of a DMX lighting control setup. It doesn't generate its own colour changing sequences. It simply supplies power to whatever fittings are wired to it, following the commands sent from the existing DMX controller. Built in protection against short circuit and overheating is designed to keep the driver and the fittings it feeds safe if something goes wrong on the circuit.
Where It Works Best
This is the right driver for anyone extending or building a DMX controlled colour change installation, whether that's architectural lighting in a commercial space, a coloured LED strip run in a bar or restaurant, or garden and facade lighting controlled from indoors. Because it's IP20 rated, it needs to be sited somewhere dry, such as inside a cupboard, a ceiling void or a dedicated plant room, even if the fittings it's powering are outdoors. It's built to slot into a control system that already has a DMX signal running, so it suits an upgrade or extension to an existing setup rather than a first time DMX installation with no controller yet in place.
About Collingwood Lighting
Collingwood Lighting designs and manufactures its LED products from Sywell in Northamptonshire, and has specialised in LED technology since 2002, which is exactly the kind of longevity you want from the company behind the driver running a whole colour change lighting scheme. Collingwood also states it was among the first to bring mains dimmable LED products to the UK electrical wholesale market, a track record that sits well with a driver built for control integration like this one. The company has been awarded a Gold medal by EcoVadis, placing it in the top 5% of companies assessed globally for sustainability.
Good to Know
- Covered by a 5 year manufacturer's warranty.
- Rated IP20, so it must be installed in a dry indoor location such as a cupboard, ceiling void or plant room, never anywhere exposed to moisture.
- Class I electrical construction, which means it requires a proper earth connection as part of installation.
- Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician, as this is a mains wired component feeding a lighting circuit.
- Powers separately sold RGB and RGBW fittings and LED strip. It does not produce any light on its own.
Questions People Ask
Does this driver need its own DMX controller?
No. It takes a DMX signal from a control system that's already in place and converts it into power for the fittings, so it's designed to slot into an existing DMX setup rather than needing its own separate controller.
Can this driver be installed outdoors?
No. It's IP20 rated, which means it needs to be sited somewhere dry, such as a cupboard, ceiling void or plant room, even when it's powering fittings that are themselves installed outdoors.
How many channels does it output?
Four. It outputs 24V DC constant voltage across four separate channels, covering red, green, blue and white for RGBW colour change fittings and strip.
Does it need to be earthed?
Yes. It's Class I electrical construction, which means a proper earth connection is required as part of the installation.
What size is the unit?
It measures 330mm in length, 79mm in width and 39mm in depth.
