Application Scenarios

Large-Scale LED Lighting Ideal for powering long runs of 12V LED strips in architectural cove lighting, large-format signage, retail displays, and exhibition booths. A single UHP-1000-12 can replace multiple smaller power supplies, simplifying wiring and installation.
Noise-Sensitive Environments The completely silent, fanless operation makes this ac dc switching power supply perfect for recording studios, broadcast rooms, theaters, libraries, and high-end residential media rooms where any ambient noise is unacceptable.
Industrial & Commercial Systems Provides reliable, high-current 12V DC for industrial automation, test equipment, charging systems, and communications hardware that require stable power in a compact, conduction-cooled form factor.

How to Wire & Install This Power Supply

  1. Step 1: Verify Voltage Compatibility. Ensure the device or LED lighting you are powering requires 12V DC. Mismatching voltage can permanently damage your equipment.
  2. Step 2: Calculate Load. For optimal performance and longevity, do not exceed 80% of the power supply's capacity. Your total load should be 800W or less. See our guide to calculate power for LED strip lights.
  3. Step 3: Wire AC Input. Safely connect your AC source wires to the input screw terminals: Line to (L), Neutral to (N), and a protective Earth ground to (FG).
  4. Step 4: Wire DC Output. Connect the wires from your LED load to the DC output terminals. Ensure correct polarity: Positive wire to (V+) and Negative wire to (V-). Reversing polarity can damage your LEDs.
  5. Step 5: Ensure Proper Mounting. For effective conduction cooling, the power supply must be securely mounted to a flat metal surface, like a chassis or mounting plate, to dissipate heat.
  6. Step 6: Power On & Test. Once all connections are secure, apply AC power and confirm that your lights or device operate as expected.
⚠ Precautions
  • Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local codes.
  • This is not a constant current driver. It provides a constant 12V voltage.
  • This unit is IP20 rated and must be installed in a dry, indoor location, protected from moisture and dust.
  • Allow for adequate ventilation around the unit. Do not operate in a fully enclosed, unventilated space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the main advantage of a fanless power supply?

A:A fanless design means silent operation and higher reliability. With no moving parts like a fan, there is one less component that can fail, making it ideal for long-term installations and noise-sensitive areas.

Q: How many feet of LED strips can this 1000W power supply run?

A:This depends on the wattage per foot of your LED strip. As a rule, your total load should not exceed 800W. For a strip that uses 5W/ft, you could safely power up to 160 feet (800W / 5W/ft).

Q: Is this power supply dimmable?

A:This power supply itself is not dimmable. To dim 12V LED strips connected to it, you would need to install a separate PWM dimmer between the power supply's DC output and the LED strips.

Q: What is the difference between the UHP-1000-12 and other Meanwell power supplies like the LRS series?

A:The UHP series is a premium line designed for high performance and silent, fanless operation via conduction cooling. The LRS and NES series are general-purpose power supplies that typically use fans for cooling at this high wattage.

Q: Does this power supply come with an on/off switch?

A:The power supply unit itself does not have an integrated on/off switch. Power is controlled by the AC source it's connected to, such as a wall switch or a switched power cord.

Q: Can I use this power supply outdoors?

A:No, the UHP-1000-12 has an IP20 rating, which means it is designed for indoor use in dry locations only and is not protected against moisture or water.

Q: Is an AC power cord included?

A:You can choose to purchase the power supply alone or as a kit with a compatible AC power plug for your region. Please select the desired option before adding to your cart.
