Test conditions and notes10
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
  3. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details. Please connect L line to the positive pole and N line to the negative pole under DC input.
  5. 5. The power supply is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
  6. 6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
  7. 7. This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China.(In the EU and China the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series are recommended.)
  8. 8. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
  9. 9. Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the ENEC/BIS logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
  10. 10. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf

FAQ

Can the APV-12-24 drive a 24V LED strip for retail display or signage?

Yes. The APV-12-24 outputs 24V at up to 0.5A, for a maximum of 12W. It is appropriate for short 24V LED strip runs used in retail display cases, menu board backlighting, or small decorative signage where the total load is 12W or less.

How long a run of 24V LED strip can the APV-12-24 support?

The APV-12-24 delivers 12W at 24V. At a strip consumption of 6 W/m, that equates to approximately 2 m of strip. Divide 12W by your strip's rated power per meter to calculate your specific limit, and check your strip's rated power per meter before sizing.

What are the differences between the APV-12-24 and its 24V siblings in the APV family?

The APV-12-24 provides 12W at 24V and 0.5A in a 77 Γ— 40 Γ— 29 mm housing and is the only 24V model of the APV-12 series. Its series siblings, the APV-12-5 (5V, 2A, 10W), APV-12-12 (12V, 1A) and APV-12-15 (15V, 0.8A), share the same housing and 90–264VAC input. Higher-wattage APV models are not covered by this datasheet; check their own spec sheets.

Does the APV-12-24 carry UL certification for use in North American projects?

Yes. The APV-12-24 is approved to UL8750 and CSA C22.2 No.250.0-08, and also to BIS IS15885, EAC TP TC 004 and BS EN/EN 62368-1. It accepts 90–264VAC (127–370VDC) input. Note that the datasheet states it is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China.

    Model: APV-35-24Quantity: 6

    Used the APV-35-24 to drive 5m of warm-white strip β€” dead quiet, no flicker on dimming.

  2. Compact and cool

    By Priya S.|2026-06-05βœ“ Verified Buyer
    Model: APV-25-24Quantity: 3

    Fits our enclosures nicely. Runs slightly warm at full load but well within spec.

  3. Reliable CV driver
