What input voltage does the APV-8E-5 require?

The APV-8E-5 accepts 180–264VAC, designed for European and other high-mains markets operating at 230–240V. It does not support 100–120V mains. For universal-input 5V LED applications including North America, the APV-8-5 (90–264VAC, UL listed) is the appropriate model.

How does the APV-8E-5 compare to the APV-8-5?

Both output 5V at 1.4A (7W) in the same 60.0 × 30.0 × 23.5 mm housing. The APV-8-5 accepts 90–264VAC universally and is certified CE, EAC, and UL. The APV-8E-5 accepts 180–264VAC only and carries CB, CE, EAC, and ENEC certifications, making it the European-market version of the same platform.

What 5V LED applications can the APV-8E-5 support in European installations?

The APV-8E-5 outputs 5V at 1.4A for 7W maximum from 230V European mains. It suits small segments of 5V addressable LED strip, 5V LED pixel accent lighting, and miniature 5V LED display components in European installations where total load is within 7W.

How long a 5V LED strip can the APV-8E-5 support?

The APV-8E-5 delivers 7W at 5V. At a strip rated 5 W/m, the maximum supported length is approximately 1.4 m. Divide 7W by your strip's rated power per meter to calculate your specific maximum, and check your strip's rated power per meter before purchasing.
