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-65A-12 for 12V LED strip lighting around signs or display borders?
Yes, if the strip is a 12V constant-voltage product and the total load stays within 50.4W. This model outputs 12V at 4.2A and is suitable for wet or outdoor locations because it is IP67 waterproof. Check the strip's rated power per meter before choosing total length.
Is this a good power supply for 12V LED modules in outdoor signage?
It can be used with 12V constant-voltage LED modules as long as the combined load does not exceed 50.4W. The IP67 rating supports outdoor and wet-location use, and the case temperature (Tcase) range is -20°C to +85°C, with load derating at higher temperatures. Make sure the modules themselves are also 12V constant voltage.
Can the ODLV-65A-12 run 12V accent lighting for landscape or low-voltage decorative fixtures?
It can support 12V constant-voltage decorative lighting loads up to 50.4W. Because it is IP67 waterproof, it is suited to outdoor or damp applications where a sealed driver is needed. Verify the fixture voltage and total wattage before use.
How many meters of 12V LED strip can this driver power?
Use the formula: maximum strip length = 50.4W divided by the strip's watts per meter. This driver's output ceiling is 50.4W total at 12V and 4.2A. Check your strip rated power per meter and keep the full connected load at or below 50.4W.
Is the ODLV-65A-12 suitable for outdoor and temperature-exposed installations?
Yes, the driver is rated IP67 waterproof for wet and outdoor locations. It is specified for a case temperature (Tcase) of -20°C to +85°C, with load derating at higher temperatures, so check the installed conditions against that rating. Environmental suitability of the attached 12V lighting still needs to be confirmed separately.
