What LED lighting applications is the LPV-20-12 suitable for?

The LPV-20-12 outputs 12V DC at up to 1.67A (20W total), making it practical for powering short runs of 12V LED strip, small under-cabinet lighting, and compact illuminated signage where total load stays at or below 20W. It is not suited to large-area installations that require more than 20W.

How many meters of 12V LED strip can the LPV-20-12 power?

The driver supplies a maximum of 20W at 12V. Divide 20W by your strip's rated power per meter to find the limit — for example, at 4.8W/m the result is approximately 4.2 m. Always verify your strip's rated power per meter and keep a safety margin to avoid overloading the driver.

Is the LPV-20-12 suitable for outdoor or damp locations?

Yes. The IP67 rating means the unit is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water, so it can be used in outdoor sign boxes, under eaves, or in garden lighting fixtures. Its operating temperature range of -30°C to +70°C supports cold-weather outdoor installations.

Will the LPV-20-12 work on 110V or 120V mains?

Yes. The input range is 90–264VAC, which covers North American 120V, European 230V, and all voltages in between. No input switching or configuration is required when moving between supply voltages in that range.

How does the LPV-20-12 compare to the LPV-35-12 for a small 12V LED project?

Both output 12V, but the LPV-20-12 supplies 1.67A and 20W, while the LPV-35-12 supplies 3A and 36W. If your 12V LED load draws up to 20W, the LPV-20-12 is adequate; for loads between 20W and 36W you would need the LPV-35-12 instead.
