Over 15 years experience of providing support of MEAN WELL Power Supplies
Overview
PWM-200-12KN is the 12V output model of this series: rated current 15A, rated power 180W, typical efficiency 92%.
PWM-200KN series is a 200W 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 and equipped with KNX Data Secure. KNX Data Secure offers protection against manipulation in building automation and can be configured in the ETS project. PWM-200KN operates from 100~305VAC and offers models with output voltage between 12V & 48V. Thanks to the high efficiency up to 94%, with the fanless design, the entire series is able to operate for -40℃ ~ +85℃ 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 visibility measure(SVM) requirement providing a great solution for health concern due to light flickering.

Test conditions and notes10
- 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)

FAQ
Can the PWM-200-12KN be controlled through a KNX home or building automation system?
Yes. The PWM-200-12KN includes a KNX interface, allowing it to receive dimming commands from any KNX controller or panel. This makes it a natural fit for residential or commercial buildings already using KNX for lighting, shading, and HVAC control.
Is the PWM-200-12KN waterproof enough for outdoor or semi-outdoor installations?
Yes. The IP67 rating certifies dust-tight and temporary submersion protection, and the -40°C to +85°C operating range covers outdoor climates. It can be installed in enclosures or mounting locations exposed to rain or cleaning water.
How much 12V LED strip can the PWM-200-12KN power?
The PWM-200-12KN outputs up to 200W at 12V and 15A. Calculate maximum strip length as 200W divided by the strip's rated watts per meter — a 14.4 W/m strip allows roughly 13.9 m. Always confirm the strip's rated power per meter before finalising the design.
Is the PWM-200-12KN appropriate for KNX-controlled 12V LED feature lighting in a residential project?
Yes. KNX is commonly used in high-end residential installations, and the PWM-200-12KN's KNX interface lets it participate in lighting scenes and schedules managed by the KNX system. At 200W it can serve multiple rooms or a large open-plan feature lighting zone.
Can the PWM-200-12KN drive 12V LED strip in a KNX-integrated retail or hospitality environment?
Yes. Retail and hospitality projects using KNX can use the PWM-200-12KN to integrate 12V LED display or accent lighting into their existing KNX scenes. The IP67 enclosure also tolerates the cleaning environments common in these settings.
How does the PWM-200-12KN differ from the PWM-200-12DA2 in the same series?
Both are 200W, 12V, 15A, IP67 drivers. The PWM-200-12DA2 uses a DALI2 interface for integration into DALI2 digital lighting networks, while the PWM-200-12KN uses a KNX interface for integration into KNX building automation systems. Choose based on which protocol your control infrastructure uses.
