The **LEDSL1WH** is a specific model of an LED Step Light, typically manufactured by brands like **Eaton (Cooper Lighting)** or **Halo**. It is designed for low-level recessed mounting to provide pathway illumination. Below is a breakdown of its electronic components and technical specifications. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications Table | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Input Voltage** | 120V AC, 60Hz | | **Power Consumption** | ~1.0 to 1.2 Watts | | **Color Temperature** | 3000K (Warm White) | | **Lumens** | ~30 Lumens | | **Finish** | White (WH) | | **Mounting** | Standard Single Gang Junction Box | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Components The device is an integrated unit, meaning the driver and LEDs are combined into one non-serviceable assembly. ### A. LED Array * **Type:** Surface Mount Device (SMD) LEDs. * **Function:** High-efficiency diodes that convert electrical energy into light. Because it only pulls about 1 Watt, the heat dissipation is minimal, allowing for a long lifespan (typically rated for 50,000 hours). ### B. Integrated LED Driver Unlike large fixtures that use external ballasts, the LEDSL1WH contains an internal **AC-to-DC Constant Current Driver**. * **Rectification:** Converts 120V AC house current into the low-voltage DC required by LEDs. * **Surge Protection:** Includes basic MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) components to protect the LEDs from minor voltage spikes in the home grid. ### C. Optical Diffuser * While not "electronic," the frosted polycarbonate lens is critical. It spreads the directional light from the LEDs to prevent "hot spots" and reduces glare for safety in hallways or stairs. --- ## 3. Wiring and Installation Electronics The back of the unit features standard lead wires for connection to residential branch circuits: 1. **Black Lead (Hot/Live):** Connects to the 120V power source. 2. **White Lead (Neutral):** Completes the circuit. 3. **Green Lead (Ground):** Connects to the junction box ground for safety. --- ## 4. Notable Features * **Non-Dimmable:** Most versions of the LEDSL1WH are designed for "Always On" or "Switch Controlled" use and do not support standard phase-cut dimmers. * **Low Profile:** The electronics are compressed to fit within the depth of a standard electrical box without requiring a deep "new work" box.
