Can I use a dimmable constant current LED driver?


I see that the spec sheet for the CENTRIC DAYLIGHT™ LED Strip Lights says that the strips accept a 'Constant Voltage' power source. Does that mean the strips would perform poorly with a 'Constant Current' driver? I would like to be able to power the strips via a 24VDC Li-Ion battery bank. It appears that all of the Meanwell DC-DC LED drivers are constant current. Would using a dimmable DC-DC constant current driver like this be problematic? 

Though we can confirm that our LED Strip Lights are designed for ‘constant voltage’ rather than ‘constant current’, they should theoretically work so long as the voltage has been properly set from the power supply. 

Based on our review of the Mean Well DC-DC Constant Current Step-Down LED driver, it appears that the input voltage can be selected, depending on the model number (LDD-300L, LDD350L, etc). As such, we recommend ensuring that stable voltage can be set and provided to the LED Strip Lights before use in order to prevent any product damage.
