LED Drivers for Architectural and Facade Lighting in the Middle East
Fully-potted IP67 LED drivers from 7 W to 2000 W for building facades, bridges and landscape projects, with wide-input protection for unstable Gulf grids.
Facade lighting stresses LED drivers with heat, driven rain and unstable mains. Towe supplies fully-potted IP67 drivers from 7 W to 2000 W for architectural and landscape projects, with 110–265 V AC wide input for Gulf grid swings, SiC-based low temperature rise on the TY series and 3 to 5 year warranties.
Scope of supply in this sector
We supply the drivers and power supplies for facade, bridge, landscape and square lighting. We do not manufacture luminaires, floodlight housings or control systems — contractors integrate our drivers into their fixture or custom housing programmes.
Requirements
| Ingress protection | IP67 minimum for exposed positions |
|---|---|
| Input window | 110–265 V AC wide input |
| Ambient | High-temperature Gulf summers, full rated power |
| Warranty | 3–5 years, backed by 100% aging |
| Power classes | 24 W–2000 W per point |
| Documentation | CE, RoHS; test reports on request |

Applicable standards
- CE and RoHS certification on export families
- IP67 / IP65 verified by sealed-housing aging and hipot testing
- Short-circuit, overload, overvoltage and over-temperature protection on all units
Typical parts
- Floodlight and facade wash drivers, 24–2000 W
- Landscape and garden lighting power supplies
- Landscape light strip drivers for building outlines
- Constant current dual-control units for mixed fixture fleets (TD series)
Quality risks specific to this sector
These are the failure modes we see most often in this industry. They are listed because knowing them before design review is cheaper than discovering them at first article.
- Undersized input windows fail during night-time grid surges — we specify wide-input only
- Potting voids become water paths; every unit is hipot-tested and aged sealed
- Cheap "same wattage" drivers derate silently in 50 °C ambients — the TY SiC series is rated for Gulf summers at full load
Compliance and capability questions
Which series should a Dubai facade project specify?
The TY SiC series for floodlights up to 1500 W — low temperature rise and a 5-year warranty — with the TD series filling 24–2000 W points that need constant voltage plus constant current dual control.
Can drivers ship with project-specific labelling?
Yes. OEM marking, gift boxes and housing finishes run through the same IP67 process. Send the project schedule and label artwork to sales for a written quote.
How do you support a tender with technical documents?
We provide CE and RoHS certificates, series datasheets and the quality summary (pass rate, failure rate) with quotations. Additional test reports are arranged through sales per project.
What breaks facade drivers in the field?
In order of frequency: water ingress through potting voids or connectors, grid surge outside a narrow input window, and heat ageing of undersized capacitors. Each of these is addressed by sealed potting, 110–265 V wide input and full-load aging respectively.
Industries we also supply
Signage & Light Boxes
Signage lighting needs drivers that disappear inside shallow channels and survive sealed, hot enclosures. Towe supplies ultra-thin drivers from 12 W to 200 W with profiles down to 15 mm for light boxes and channel letters, semi- and fully-potted options for humidity, and outdoor IP67 power to 2000 W for large-format signs..
View sectorRetail & Track Lighting
Magnetic track systems run entirely on their 48 V power supply — if the supply flickers or drops out, the whole rail does. Towe builds dedicated 48 V track drivers from 100 W to 300 W with IP65 sealing, flicker-free full-load verification under multi-head loading, and an optional smart version with MESH scene control..
View sectorSmart Home & Hotel Lighting
Hotel and residential smart lighting fails when it needs new control wiring. Towe’s TG smart drivers (24 V, 60–400 W) use 2.0 MESH networking to add scene and voice control over existing power wiring — pairing with Mi Home, Tmall Genie, Amazon Alexa and Siri, with wiring-free extension and anti-interference stability..
