IKEA TRADFRI LED Driver

Quick verdict

The TRADFRI LED driver is the bridge between IKEA's LED strips/spots and your Zigbee network. Paired with zigbee2mqtt or ZHA it dims fully locally with no IKEA hub. It is white-only and built for IKEA's own LED accessories, but for cabinet and shelf lighting it is cheap and reliable.

Standout: Zigbee dimming driver that makes IKEA LED strips and spots fully local and dimmable.
