Mean Well PLM-25E-500 AC-DC Single output LED driver Constant Current 0.5A 30-50Vdc

The PLM-25E-500 is a constant current LED driver for fixtures that require a fixed 500 mA output. It is suited to LED assemblies operating within the model's stated current and output range, rather than constant-voltage loads. Its 25 W rating makes it a fit for lower-power commercial or architectural LED applications.

This model is rated at 25 W with a constant output current of 500 mA. The product name identifies it as a 30-50 Vdc constant current LED driver. It is part of Mean Well's PLM enclosed LED driver range with built-in active PFC and short-circuit protection.

The PLM-25E-500 is the E-type version in this series, which the product data lists for 180-295 VAC input. That makes it appropriate for 230 VAC markets rather than universal 110 VAC input applications. Buyers needing broader AC input coverage should check the non-E version in the same PLM-25 family.

This model uses a fully isolated plastic case and is described as a Class II power unit, so it is built for isolated LED driver use. The plastic enclosure and free-air convection cooling make it suitable where a compact enclosed driver format is needed. Final suitability still depends on the fixture's thermal and compliance requirements.

The listed operating temperature range is -30 C to 45 C. Cooling is by free air convection, so it is intended for applications that can stay within that ambient range without forced cooling. It is a better fit for indoor or protected environments that match those thermal limits.

No. The product data lists dimming control as none, so this model is intended for non-dimming constant current LED applications. If dimming is required, a different driver series or variant would be a better choice.

The specified warranty period for this model is 2 years. That aligns with the product description for the PLM series entry provided here. For procurement or project documentation, this gives a clear baseline warranty term for the driver.
