Overview
PWM-120-24KN is the 24V output model of this series: rated current 5A, rated power 120W, typical efficiency 90%.
PWM KN series is a 120W AC/DC LED driver featuring the constant voltage mode with PWM style output, which is able to maintain the colour temperature and the brightness homogeneity when driving all kinds of LED strips and constant voltage LED bulbs.The built-in KNX interface is to avoid using the complicated KNX-DALI gateway. PWM KN operates from 90~305VAC and offers two models with output voltage 12V & 24V.Thanks to the high efficiency up to 90%, with the fanless design, the entire series is able to operate for -40℃ ~ +90℃ case temperature under free air convection. The minimal dimming level low to 0.01% is suitable for low light level applications e.g. cinema. The output frequency is changeable up to 4KHz compliant IEEE1789-2015 no risk requirement and EU Ecodesign stroboscopic visibilitymeasure(SVM) requirement providing a great solution for health concern due to light flickering.

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 first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 4. 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. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
- 5. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃or less.
- 6. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com

FAQ
Can the PWM-120-24KN control 24V LED lighting directly from a KNX building automation system?
Yes. The PWM-120-24KN has a built-in KNX interface, enabling direct integration with KNX networks for scene-based and zone lighting control without requiring a separate KNX-DALI gateway. It outputs 24V at 5A (120W) with a PWM-style constant voltage output for 24V LED strips.
Is the PWM-120-24KN suitable for outdoor or wet-location LED strip installations?
Yes. Its IP67 rating provides protection against dust and temporary water immersion, making it appropriate for outdoor enclosures and wet indoor locations. The -40°C to +90°C operating range accommodates demanding outdoor environments.
How many meters of 24V LED strip can the PWM-120-24KN drive?
The PWM-120-24KN delivers up to 120W at 24V. For a 20W/m strip, that supports up to 6 meters (120 ÷ 20); for a 14.4W/m strip, approximately 8.3 meters (120 ÷ 14.4). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and maintain a 20% headroom margin.
Can I use the PWM-120-24KN for 24V LED strips in a KNX-controlled commercial building without additional gateways?
Yes. The integrated KNX interface eliminates the need for a separate KNX-DALI gateway, simplifying the installation. Standby power consumption is less than 0.5W, which is relevant in large commercial buildings with many drivers that may idle for extended periods.
Is the PWM-120-24KN appropriate for 24V LED signage in a retail environment controlled by KNX?
Yes. The 120W, 24V output can power 24V LED modules and strips used in illuminated retail signage. The KNX interface allows the signage lighting to be scheduled and dimmed as part of the broader KNX retail environment control system.
How does the PWM-120-24KN differ from the PWM-120-24 for a KNX lighting project?
Both deliver 120W at 24V/5A with IP67 protection. The PWM-120-24 uses built-in 3-in-1 dimming (PWM, 0-10V, resistance) and requires a separate gateway for KNX integration. The PWM-120-24KN has a native KNX interface built in, removing the need for that gateway and reducing the overall component count in a KNX installation.
