SANlight Driver Set STIXX 2, 270 W (AI5105)

Product detailed description

STIXX 2 Driver with current reserve

SANlight Driver Set STIXX 2, 270 W is a Smart Driver for STIXX 2-60 linear lights. According to the official SANlight table, it can power three lights at full power – just like the smaller 160 W version, but with a significantly higher output current (7 A) and reserve capacity for a longer chain of cuttings or the later addition of further lights (these will then run at reduced power). It powers the STIXX 2 range exclusively.

The driver is sold separately, without lights and cables. To switch the lights on, you need STIXX 2-60 lights, which are non-functional without a driver.

Power cable for connecting the driver

A separate SANlight power cable, which is not included, is required to connect the driver to the mains. You can choose from two compatible variants:

• SANlight power cable for Q-Series Gen2 – variant with a straight connector.
• Angled SANlight power cable for EVO/Q-Series – variant with an angled connector.

Both cables are used to power this driver from the mains. Cables and splitters for connecting the driver to STIXX lights are selected separately according to the configuration.

Specifications

• Maximum output power: 270 W
• Designed for: STIXX 2-60 lights (same range only)
• At full power (official SANlight table): three lights (3 × 47 W = 141 W)
• Rated power consumption of one light: 47 W
• Max. output current: 7.0 A
• Typical output voltage: 38 V DC
• Dimensions (L × W × H): 281 × 90 × 41.5 mm
• Weight: 1.92 kg
• Input voltage: 120-240/277 V AC, 50/60 Hz
• Dimming: blue connector on the driver (M-Dimmer, Bluetooth Dimmer or 0-10V)
• Unused DC ports: termination cap (mandatory)
• Water resistance: M19 connector on the light IP68; the driver's mains plug is not water-resistant

Compatibility

Compatible:

• SANlight STIXX 2-60 and Undercanopy STIXX 2-60 lights – three lights at full power (higher 7 A current reserve)
• SANlight termination cap (AI5010) for unused DC ports on the driver
• SANlight M-Dimmer and Bluetooth Dimmer dimmers, or a 0-10V signal (blue connector on the driver)
• M19 (5 PIN) extension cables and splitters from STIXX accessories for connecting multiple lights

Not compatible:

• Ostatní STIXX ranges (3-80, 4-100, 5-120 and 6-150) – the driver is intended only for its own range
• Mixing different STIXX models on one driver – identical lights are required
• STIXX 50 – closed system with its own power supply and different cabling
• EVO and FLEX II lights – different connector and power supply

When to choose the 270 W version

The smaller 160 W driver can also handle three lights at full power, so choose the 270 W version mainly for its reserve capacity: the higher current and wattage mean that you can connect additional lights to the trio, which will then run at slightly reduced power. However, if you are aiming for an entire wall of cuttings and want more lights at full power, go straight for the 530 W version (six STIXX 2-60 lights).

Dimming and termination

Dimming is handled by the driver, not the lights: the magnetic M-Dimmer, SANlight Bluetooth Dimmer or a 0-10V signal connects to its blue connector and controls the entire configuration at once. Each unused DC port must then be closed with a termination cap – this is mandatory, as the system may be damaged without it.

Water resistance

While the M19 connector on the light can withstand moisture (IP68), the driver's mains plug cannot – protect it from water. Do not stack multiple drivers on top of each other and leave at least 10 mm between them.

Frequently asked questions

How many STIXX 2-60 lights can the 270 W driver power?

It powers three STIXX 2-60 lights at their full rated power – as stated in the official SANlight table (just like the 160 W version, but with a greater current reserve). You can connect more lights, but they will run at reduced power. If you want six lights at full power, choose the 530 W version.

Will the driver work with fewer lights than the maximum?

Yes. The Smart Driver detects how many lights are connected and adjusts their power accordingly. Up to the full number of lights, each STIXX 2-60 light runs at full power; you can therefore start with one and add more over time. Fit termination caps to the unused DC ports.

Why must unused driver ports be capped?

Every DC port on the driver that is not used for a light must be fitted with a termination cap (AI5010) – otherwise the system may be damaged. It is a small and inexpensive component, but it is not optional. The cap is not included with the driver or the light, so remember to purchase one when building the configuration.
