Overview
XLG-100-12-A is the 12V output model of this series: rated power 96W, typical efficiency 92%.
XLG-100 series is a 100W LED AC/DC driver featuring the constant power mode.XLG-100 operates from 100~305VAC and offers models with different rated current ranging between 700mA and 8000mA. Thanks to the high efficiency up to 92%, with the fanless design, the entire series is able to operate for -40℃~+90℃ case temperature under free air convection. The design of metal housing and IP67 ingress protection level allows this series to fit both indoor and outdoor applications. Moreover the innovative environment-adaptive capability allows this series to reliably light on the LEDs for all kinds of application environments in almost any spots that may install LED luminaires in the world.

Test conditions and notes16
- 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". (Except for CV-type)
- 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. Only CE/ENEC/CB is available for CV-type. XLG-100I series without UL/CSA certificate.
- 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. 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).
- 10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 11. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
- 12. Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the PSE/CCC/BIS/KC logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
- 13. 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
- 14. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixture, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 15. If you need the NOM (Mexico) certificate, Please contact MEAN WELL sales representative for details.
- 16. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can the XLG-100-12-A power 12V LED strip lighting in an outdoor sign cabinet?
Yes. The XLG-100-12-A is rated IP67, so it is fully protected against dust and temporary water immersion. It can be installed directly inside outdoor sign cabinets or enclosures exposed to rain and condensation without additional weatherproofing.
Is the XLG-100-12-A suitable for landscape or garden LED lighting?
Yes. The IP67 waterproof rating and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +90°C make this driver well suited for outdoor landscape lighting where exposure to moisture and thermal cycling is expected. Its 96W output at 12V supports medium-scale garden or pathway LED strip runs.
Can I use the XLG-100-12-A to drive 12V LED strips in an architectural soffit or cove?
Yes. The 12V constant-current output with an 8A maximum current supports 12V LED strip installations in architectural cove and soffit lighting. The wide 100–305VAC input accommodates both residential 120V and commercial 240V or 277V supplies.
How many meters of 12V LED strip can the XLG-100-12-A power?
The XLG-100-12-A delivers 96W at 12V. Divide 96W by your strip's rated power per meter — for a 9.6 W/m strip that is 10 meters, and for a 14.4 W/m strip that is approximately 6.6 meters. Always check your strip's rated power per meter and apply a 20% derating margin for thermal safety.
Can the XLG-100-12-A be used in unheated outdoor enclosures during winter?
Yes. The operating temperature range spans -40°C to +90°C, covering the coldest climates encountered in most installations. The sealed IP67 metal enclosure prevents moisture ingress that could otherwise cause failures in freeze-thaw cycling conditions.
Is the XLG-100-12-A a good fit for 12V LED channel letter signage?
Yes. The XLG-100-12-A suits 12V LED channel letter applications where an IP67-rated driver needs to fit into a raceway or sign box. At 140 × 63 × 32 mm, its compact form factor fits most standard sign enclosures, and the 96W rating covers small to medium letter sets.
What is the difference between the XLG-100-12-A and the XLG-100-12-AB?
Both models are rated 96W at 12V with 8A output, IP67 protection, and identical dimensions. The XLG-100-12-AB adds a built-in 3-in-1 dimming interface (the B suffix), while the XLG-100-12-A is non-dimmable. Choose the AB variant if your project requires adjustable light output.
