Application Scenarios
How to Wire & Install This Power Supply
- Verify Compatibility: Ensure your LED lights require a DC 12V input and their total power draw is 36W or less.
- Calculate Load: For best performance and longevity, load the driver to no more than 80% of its capacity (approx. 28.8W). To learn more, read our guide on how to calculate power for LED strip lights.
- Connect AC Input: ⚠ SAFETY FIRST! Disconnect mains power before wiring. Connect the Live (Brown) and Neutral (Blue) input wires to your 110-220V AC source.
- Connect DC Output: Connect the positive (Red) and negative (Black) output wires to your 12V LED lighting, carefully observing correct polarity.
- Test System: Once all connections are secure, restore mains power and confirm your lights operate as expected.
- Mount Securely: Install the power supply in a location that allows for adequate air circulation for cooling. Avoid direct, prolonged sun exposure.
- Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician.
- Incorrect wiring can permanently damage the power supply and your LED fixtures.
- Never exceed the 36W maximum load. Maintaining an 80% load margin is highly recommended.
- While the driver body is IP67 rated, ensure all wire connections are also properly waterproofed for outdoor use using appropriate connectors or enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between a constant voltage and constant current driver?
A:This is a constant voltage driver, which maintains a stable 12V output.
Q: Is this 12V LED driver power supply dimmable?
A:No, this is a standard non-dimmable switching power supply. To dim your lights, you would need a separate dimmable driver and a compatible dimming controller or switch.
Q: How much LED strip lighting can this 36W driver power?
A:It depends on the strip's power consumption per meter. For example, a strip that uses 10W/meter could be powered for up to 2.8 meters (36W * 0.8 / 10W/m). Always check your strip's specifications.
Q: Can I use this power supply indoors?
A:Absolutely. Its robust, waterproof design makes it an excellent and safe choice for indoor applications, especially in areas with potential moisture like kitchens, bathrooms, or basements.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of this driver?
A:The dimensions are 173mm in length, 21mm in width, and 20mm in height (approximately 6.81" x 0.83" x 0.79"), making it very compact and easy to hide.
