| Simplest Rectifier for LEDs |

Hello, I have a 1600v bridge rectifier module. I have LED strip lights. The original power cord for the LED strip (which I lost) is 100-240 AC to 125vdc output @8A with a built in 8A fuse max. Any foreseeable problem with using this module given that the module is rated for much higher power? The only reason I am reluctant is because I haven't quite grasped when a power supply is active (which would destroy the leds?) vs passive (which is presumably ok). Thanks, Matt |

The two are most likely not interchangeable. A 100 to 240VAC to 125VDC module will be a switched mode power supply, which will regulate the output voltage at 125VDC, even if the input voltage changes. A bridge rectifier is just that, a simple bridge rectifier, with no smoothing or voltage regulation. |
