Finally! A Driver Optimized for COB and Tight Pitch Tape Light
— Diode LED overcomes industry challenge: Incompatible LED drivers cause COB tape light to fail prematurely.
RENO, NV, October 6, 2026 – Elemental Brands today announced the release of OMNIDRIVE® 3, a new dimmable LED driver offered through its Diode LED brand. Developed to address compatibility challenges that have plagued applications everywhere by the promise of a suitable driver for newer COB and tight-pitch tape light technologies. The reality is these drivers are falsely listed and marketed as compatible systems that place unnecessary electrical stress on high-density LED lighting formats, shortening component life and contributing to premature failures and costly service calls. Elemental Brands engineered OMNIDRIVE 3 as the go-to driver for complete compatibility at a competitive cost for these increasingly common LED applications.
The OMNIDRIVE 3 platform has been intentionally simplified to two enclosure configurations: a driver-only option and a driver/junction-box combination, both at 24VDC Class 2 power levels, 60W and 96W. For distributors, contractors, and installers, the result is a streamlined driver platform designed to meet the needs of most projects with clear power options, straightforward enclosure choices, dependable compatibility with supported LED lighting, and a budget-friendly approach to powering today’s increasingly sophisticated linear lighting systems.
Key OMNIDRIVE® 3 features include:
Compatibility with tight-pitch LED solutions and popular dimmers
24VDC output in 60W and 96W models
Less than 1% dimming (ELV and TRIAC)
UL Listed and Title 24 compliant
Optional NEMA 3R enclosure for outdoor/wet-location installations
5-year limited warranty
Diode LED begins taking preorders for OMNIDRIVE® 3 today and plans to start shipping on October 15, 2026, to electrical distributors across North America. Product details are available on DiodeLED.com or on the product page at https://www.diodeled.com/omnidrive-3-dimmable-driver.html.
