    Which LED driver?......

    I'm not too sure which LED driver I can use to replace the one in the picture. It states max 21V, does this mean any thing less than that is ok? It also says DC 24V though, which has confused me. Would it be a constant current LED driver seeing as though thus one implies the voltage is...

    Difference between FSU and 3 pin plug, both with 5 amp fuse for LED downlights?

    Is there an obvious reason why I can't just fit a plug onto my LED soffit downlights, fitted with a 5amp fuse and plug it into a socket rather than install a 5amp fsu? I'm fine with the plug being permanently plugged in as the socket gets no use anyhow. TIA
