Overview

PWM-200-12 is the 12V output model of this series: rated current 15A, rated power 180W, typical efficiency 92%.

PWM-200 series is a 200W AC/DC LED driver featuring the constant voltage mode with PWM style output, which is able to maintain the color temperature and the brightness homogeneity when driving all kinds of LED strips. PWM-200 operates from 100～305VAC and offers models with different rated voltage ranging between 12V and 48V.

Test conditions and notes11

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. 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.
3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
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
7. 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).
8. 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
9. It is not recommended to connect to capacitive loads
10. Based on IEC 62386-101/102 DALI power on timing and interruption regulations, the set up time needs to test with a DALI controller which can support for DALI power on function, otherwise the set up time will be higher than 0.5 second for DA2 type.
11. 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 the PWM-200-12 power a large 12V LED strip installation outdoors?

Yes. With an IP67 rating and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, the PWM-200-12 is designed for outdoor or exposed environments. Its 200W output at 12V can supply substantial LED strip loads in exterior signage or landscape lighting runs.

How many meters of 12V LED strip can the PWM-200-12 support?

The PWM-200-12 provides up to 200W at 12V and 15A. Divide 200W by your strip's rated watt-per-meter value — for example, a 14.4 W/m strip allows about 13.9 m. Always check the strip's rated power per meter and apply a safety derating to avoid running the driver at its absolute maximum.

Is the PWM-200-12 suitable for dimmable 12V LED signage boxes?

Yes. The built-in 3-in-1 dimming (PWM signal, 0–10V, resistance) makes the PWM-200-12 compatible with common external dimmers used in illuminated signage. At 200W it can handle larger sign cabinets or multiple small sign faces on one circuit.

Can the PWM-200-12 drive 12V LED retrofit modules in commercial display lighting?

Yes. At 200W and 15A output current, the PWM-200-12 provides sufficient capacity for commercial display cases or retail shelf lighting using multiple 12V LED retrofit modules. The IP67 enclosure also allows installation in the under-shelf or cabinet spaces where cleaning moisture may be present.

Is the PWM-200-12 appropriate for a 12V dimmable cove lighting system in a hotel lobby?

Yes. Hotel lobby cove lighting typically demands reliable, smooth dimming and higher wattage to cover long linear runs. The PWM-200-12 offers 200W with 3-in-1 dimming and IP67 protection, making it a solid choice for both the load capacity and the interface flexibility required.

How does the PWM-200-12 compare to the 120W and 200W PWM options at 12V?

At 12V, the PWM series offers: PWM-90-12 (90W, 7.5A), PWM-120-12 (120W, 10A), and PWM-200-12 (200W, 15A). DALI2 and KNX variants of the 200W model (PWM-200-12DA2, PWM-200-12KN) provide the same 200W/15A output with different control interfaces.
