Test conditions and notes8
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 3. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 4. Aux. 12V will be damaged with short circuit; It will not be available with dimming off or output no load condition.
- 5. 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.
- 6. 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).
- 7. 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
- 8. 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 I use the ODLV-45A-12 for 12V LED strip lights?
Yes, if the strip is a 12V constant-voltage type and the total connected load stays within 36W. This model outputs 12V DC at up to 3A, so it fits 12V strip lighting within that power limit.
Is the ODLV-45A-12 suitable for 12V sign lighting?
It can be used for 12V constant-voltage signage and light box loads up to 36W. The IP67 rating also supports use where the driver needs protection from rain or wet conditions.
Can this model power outdoor 12V accent or landscape lighting?
Yes, for 12V constant-voltage outdoor lighting applications that stay within the 36W rating. Its IP67 enclosure and -20°C to +85°C case temperature (Tcase) rating, with load derating at higher temperatures, suit exposed and temperature-variable locations.
How do I size LED strip length for the ODLV-45A-12?
The calculation is maximum length = 36W divided by the strip's watts per meter. Since this driver is rated for 36W total at 12V, check your strip rated power per meter before estimating the usable run length.
How does the ODLV-45A-12 compare with other ODLV 12V and higher-voltage models?
The listed siblings include 12V 36W 3A, 24V 45.12W 1.88A, 36V 45W 1.25A, 48V 45.12W 0.94A, and 60V 45W 0.75A in both standard ODLV-45 and ODLV-45A variants. The ODLV-45A versions, like this one, add a 12V auxiliary DC output rated at 50mA that the standard versions do not have.
