Test conditions and notes10
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
  3. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details. Please connect L line to the positive pole and N line to the negative pole under DC input.
  5. 5. The power supply 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)
  6. 6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
  7. 7. This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China.(In the EU and China the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series are recommended.)
  8. 8. 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).
  9. 9. Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the ENEC/BIS logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
  10. 10. 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

FAQ

What LED lighting applications suit a 15V, 12W constant-voltage driver?

The APV-12-15 is suited to 15V LED modules, short LED strip runs rated at 15V, and small decorative signage panels. At 12W and 0.8A maximum output, it fits compact fixtures where total load stays within that limit. Confirm your LED product's nominal voltage is 15V before selecting this driver.

How much 15V LED strip can the APV-12-15 support?

The APV-12-15 provides 12W at 15V. Divide 12W by your strip's rated power per meter to find the maximum run length — at 3 W/m, for example, that gives 4 m. Check your strip's rated power per meter and keep the total load within the driver's 12W output.

Is the APV-12-15 rated for wet or outdoor environments?

The APV-12-15 has an IP42 rating, which offers limited dust and drip protection only. It is not appropriate for direct outdoor mounting, rain, or splash conditions. Applications in wet or outdoor locations require a driver with IP65 or higher ingress protection.

How does the APV-12-15 compare to the APV-12-12 and APV-12-24?

All three models share the same 12W total power and 77.0 × 40.0 × 29.0 mm enclosure. The APV-12-12 outputs 12V at 1A, the APV-12-15 outputs 15V at 0.8A, and the APV-12-24 outputs 24V at 0.5A. The choice depends solely on the output voltage your load requires.

  1. Great for LED strip runs

    By Tane W.|2026-06-20✓ Verified Buyer
    Model: APV-35-24Quantity: 6

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

  2. Compact and cool

    By Priya S.|2026-06-05✓ Verified Buyer
    Model: APV-25-24Quantity: 3

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

  3. Reliable CV driver

    Model: APV-16-24Quantity: 20

    Standard part for our signage jobs now. Zero returns.
