This 12v, 150w, 12.5Amp IP67 rated constant voltage installation style LED driver is an ideal product for powering our 12v LED products and it is suitable for use in wet or damp environments such as swimming pools, kitchens or bathrooms. The driver is supplied with wire tails on the input and output sides which need to be connected to a suitably rated junction box to maintain the IP67 rating.
As we recommend that a driver should power products at approximately 75% of the value of the driver, the recommended load for this 150w unit is approximately 112w. It is good practice to specify a driver with a capable load of more than the product it is powering but it must not be connected to a load greater than the 75% tolerance of the driver otherwise this will shorten the life of the unit.
Powering 12v LED lights require a 12v LED power supply unit (PSU) / driver or LED transformer to connect the product to the mains. A constant current LED driver is a power supply that regulates the voltage supplied to a lighting product E.g. LED Tape/ LED Strip.
To get the best performance out of your drivers, only load the driver to around 75% of the drivers' value. E.g. A 100W driver runs at 75W, or a 200W driver should work at 150W. Lighting transformers use a constant voltage for powering LED's. The LED light drivers total wattage should be more than the recommended. Different types of LED drivers will have different output voltages, make sure to select the correct constant voltage LED driver.
IP rating: Consists of 2 numbers: the first will indicate the level of protection against solid objects. While the second number will indicate the level of protection against liquids. The '6' on the IP rating stands for totally protected against dust, and the '7' stands for protected against temporary submersion. View our case study on IP ratings for further information on what they mean.
