Overview
PWM-40-24 is the 24V output model of this series: rated current 1.67A, rated power 40.08W, typical efficiency 89%.
PWM-40 series is a 40W LED 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-40 operates from 90~305VAC and offers models with different rated voltage ranging between 12V and 48V. Thanks to the high efficiency up to 90%, with the fanless design, the entire series is able to operate for -40℃ ~ +85℃ case temperature under free air convection. The entire series is rated with IP67 ingress protection level and is suitable to work for dry, damp or wet locations. PWM-40 is equipped with dimming function that varies the duty cycle of the output, providing great flexibility for LED strips applications.

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
- 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

FAQ
Can the PWM-40-24 power 24V LED strips in an outdoor installation?
Yes. The PWM-40-24 carries an IP67 rating, making it suitable for outdoor and wet-location use where moisture exposure is expected. Its -40°C to +85°C operating range supports installation in most outdoor environments year-round.
How many meters of 24V LED strip can the PWM-40-24 support?
The PWM-40-24 supplies a maximum of 40W at 24V. Divide 40W by your strip's power consumption per meter — for example, a 14W/m strip allows approximately 2.8 meters. Always verify your strip's actual rated watts per meter before sizing the run.
Is the PWM-40-24 a good fit for dimmable 24V under-cabinet or display lighting?
Yes. The built-in 3-in-1 dimming supports 0–10V analog, PWM signal, and resistance control, allowing smooth brightness adjustment for 24V under-cabinet lighting and display case applications. The 40W output is adequate for short or medium strip runs in these settings.
Can I install the PWM-40-24 in a non-metallic or sealed junction box?
Yes. The Class II design without a functional earth ground (FG) connection and the fully isolated plastic case allow installation in non-metallic enclosures and sealed junction boxes without a grounding conductor.
Is the PWM-40-24 suitable for powering 24V LED architectural accent lighting on a building facade?
Yes. The IP67 waterproof rating and wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C make the PWM-40-24 appropriate for facade-mounted 24V LED accent lighting exposed to rain and temperature extremes. Its 40W capacity can drive short runs of high-efficiency accent strip.
What dimming protocols does the PWM-40-24 support compared to the DA and KN variants?
The PWM-40-24 uses built-in 3-in-1 dimming (0–10V, PWM signal, and resistance). The DA suffix models add DALI protocol support, the DA2 suffix adds DALI-2 support, and the KN suffix adds KNX protocol support. All variants in the 40W range share the same 40W output.
