Over 15 years experience of providing support of MEAN WELL Power Supplies
Overview
PWM-200-12DA2 is the 12V output model of this series: rated current 15A, rated power 180W, typical efficiency 92%.
PWM-200 series is a 200W AC/DC LED driver featuring the constant voltage mode with PWM style output, which is able to maintain the color temperature and the brightness homogeneity when driving all kinds of LED strips. PWM-200 operates from 100~305VAC and offers models with different rated voltage ranging between 12V and 48V. Thanks to the high efficiency up to 94% with the fanless design, the entire series is able to operate for -40℃ ~ +85℃ case temperature under free air convection. The entire series is rated with IP67 ingress protection level and is suitable to work for dry, damp or wet locations. PWM-200 is equipped with dimming function that varies the duty cycle of the output, providing great flexibility for LED strips applications.

Test conditions and notes11
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. 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.
- 3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 4. 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)
- 5. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃or less.
- 6. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 7. 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).
- 8. 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
- 9. It is not recommended to connect to capacitive loads
- 10. Based on IEC 62386-101/102 DALI power on timing and interruption regulations, the set up time needs to test with a DALI controller which can support for DALI power on function, otherwise the set up time will be higher than 0.5 second for DA2 type.
- 11. 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.

FAQ
Can the PWM-200-12DA2 be integrated into a DALI2 smart lighting system?
Yes. The PWM-200-12DA2 implements the DALI2 protocol (IEC 62386 Part 209), which supports enhanced features including better standardisation of device behaviour compared to original DALI. It can be addressed individually within a DALI2 network for precision dimming control.
Is the PWM-200-12DA2 suitable for outdoor 12V LED installations?
Yes. The IP67 rating provides protection against dust and temporary water immersion, and the operating temperature spans -40°C to +85°C. These specifications make it appropriate for outdoor architectural lighting or signage that also requires DALI2 network control.
How many meters of 12V LED strip can the PWM-200-12DA2 drive?
With 200W at 12V and 15A available, the maximum strip length is 200W divided by the strip's watt-per-meter rating — a 14.4 W/m strip gives approximately 13.9 m. Verify your strip's rated power per meter and derate appropriately for reliability.
Can I use the PWM-200-12DA2 for DALI2-controlled LED signage in a commercial building?
Yes. Commercial buildings using DALI2 for lighting management can integrate the PWM-200-12DA2 to control 12V LED signage zones individually. The 200W capacity supports larger sign cabinets or multiple faces, and DALI2 scenes can automate brightness schedules.
Is the PWM-200-12DA2 appropriate for 12V cove lighting in a DALI2 hotel system?
Yes. Hotels increasingly deploy DALI2 for flexible scene management, and the PWM-200-12DA2 fits that infrastructure while delivering 200W to support long cove lighting runs at 12V. The IP67 rating adds flexibility for installations near wet areas such as pool corridors.
What is the difference between the PWM-200-12, PWM-200-12DA2, and PWM-200-12KN?
All three share 200W output at 12V and 15A with IP67 protection. They differ in control interface: PWM-200-12 uses built-in 3-in-1 dimming (PWM, 0–10V, resistance); PWM-200-12DA2 uses DALI2 for addressable digital control; PWM-200-12KN uses KNX protocol for integration into KNX building automation systems.
