    Beginner here looking at various options for my first project.
    I would appreciate any thoughts on the below.

    Has anyone had experience with using LED power supply drivers?
    Im looking at these in the 24V flavour to pair with motors from motion dynamics.

    Sorry I cant link yet in posts but if you copy-paste the text below into ebay.com.au search, you will see the type I am referring to.

    AC-110V-220V-to-DC-5V-12V-24V-Switching-Power-Supply-Driver-for-LED-Strip

    Can they act as plain old power supplies? or do they have unique setups for LED requirements that would cause issues with our typical use in motion platforms. Like start up profiles or coping with varying power demand.

    Cheers
