Is the APV-12E-24 compatible with North American 120V power systems?

No. The APV-12E-24 accepts 180–264VAC input and is not designed for 100–120V mains. For North American installations requiring 24V output, the APV-12-24 with its 90–264VAC universal input range and UL certification is the appropriate model.

How does the APV-12E-24 differ from the APV-12-24?

Both models produce 24V at 0.5A (12W) in the same 77.0 × 40.0 × 29.0 mm enclosure. The APV-12-24 accepts 90–264VAC and is certified CB, CCC, CE, EAC, ENEC, and UL. The APV-12E-24 accepts 180–264VAC only and carries CB, CE, EAC, and ENEC certifications, targeting European and similarly regulated markets.

What 24V LED lighting loads can the APV-12E-24 drive?

The APV-12E-24 outputs 24V at 0.5A for a maximum of 12W from 180–264VAC European mains. It is appropriate for short 24V LED strip runs, 24V LED downlight modules, or low-power signage panels where the total load is at or below 12W.

How many meters of 24V LED strip can the APV-12E-24 drive?

The APV-12E-24 provides 12W at 24V. Dividing 12W by your strip's rated power per meter gives the maximum length — at 6 W/m, for example, that is 2 m. Check your strip's rated power per meter and limit the run to 80% of the driver's 12W capacity for reliable long-term operation.

Used the APV-35-24 to drive 5m of warm-white strip — dead quiet, no flicker on dimming.
Compact and cool

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