Test conditions and notes15

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
7. No load/standby power consumption is specified for 230VAC input.
8. The driver 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)
9. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 70℃ or less.
10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
11. 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).
12. 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
13. BIS IS15885(for 12/12A/12B/12DA/24/24A/24B/24DA/36/36A/36B/42A/42B/48/48A/48B/54A/54B).
14. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
15. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can the ELG-200-12-3Y be mounted in an outdoor wet location for 12V LED strip lighting?

Yes. The ELG-200-12-3Y is rated IP67, fully protecting it against dust and temporary water immersion. It can be installed inside outdoor sign cabinets, exterior luminaire housings, or underground enclosures exposed to rain without requiring additional weatherproofing.

Is the ELG-200-12-3Y a good choice for powering 12V LED strip in a large-scale interior commercial installation?

Yes. The 192W output at 12V and 16A current capacity supports substantial 12V LED strip runs in commercial interior environments such as retail shelving, hospitality cove lighting, or office accent lighting. Its 3-wire input with PE conductor suits installations that require an earthed supply connection.

How many meters of 12V LED strip can the ELG-200-12-3Y drive?

The ELG-200-12-3Y provides 192W at 12V. For a 10 W/m strip, that supports up to about 19 meters; for a 14.4 W/m strip, approximately 13.3 meters. Always check your strip's rated power per meter and apply a 20% safety derating for reliable long-term operation.

Can the ELG-200-12-3Y power 12V LED strips for outdoor LED signage or channel letters?

Yes. With IP67 protection and 192W at 12V, this driver handles the power demands of 12V outdoor LED channel letters or backlit sign cabinets in weather-exposed locations. Its compact 244 × 71 × 37.5 mm metal housing with four 4.5 mm mounting holes is straightforward to fit inside sign enclosures.

What certifications does the ELG-200-12-3Y hold, and is it approved for North American and European use?

The ELG-200 series sheet lists UL8750 (Type HL) and CSA C22.2 No. 250.13-12 for North America, and IEC/EN 61347-1, 61347-2-13 and EN62384 safety with EN55015, EN61000-3-2 Class C and EN61547 EMC compliance for Europe. EAC, GB/T19510 and KC approvals additionally support other international markets.

Is the ELG-200-12-3Y suitable for 12V LED strip in cold-storage or outdoor winter conditions?

Yes. The case temperature range of -40°C to +90°C covers freezer and cold-weather outdoor environments. The IP67 sealed metal enclosure protects against the moisture exposure typical of cold-storage applications.
