Overview

PWM-60-12 is the 12V output model of this series: rated current 5A, rated power 60W, typical efficiency 86%.

PWM-60 series is a 60W LED AC/DC LED driver featuring the constant voltage mode with PWM style output, which is able to maintain the brightness homogeneity when driving all kinds of LED strips. PWM-60 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-60 is equipped with dimming function that varies the duty cycle of the output, providing great flexibility for LED strips applications.

Test conditions and notes9

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
9. 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 DA type.

FAQ

Can the PWM-60-12 be used to power 12V LED strips in outdoor or wet locations?

Yes. The PWM-60-12 is rated IP67, providing full dust protection and resistance to temporary water immersion. Combined with an operating range of -40°C to +85°C, it is suitable for outdoor enclosures, covered walkway lighting, and wet-rated fixture installations.

How long a 12V LED strip run can the PWM-60-12 support?

The PWM-60-12 delivers up to 60W at 12V. Divide 60W by your strip's rated watts per meter to estimate maximum run length — for example, a 10W/m strip supports up to 6 meters. Check your specific strip's rated power per meter to confirm the right run length.

Is the PWM-60-12 suitable for powering dimmable 12V LED strip in retail display cases?

Yes. The built-in 3-in-1 dimming supports 0–10V, PWM signal, and resistance dimming, allowing smooth brightness control for retail display case lighting. At 60W and 5A, it can drive moderate-length 12V strip runs in showcase and cabinet applications.

Can I use the PWM-60-12 for 12V LED lighting in a food service or commercial kitchen environment?

Yes. The IP67 waterproof housing makes the PWM-60-12 resistant to cleaning spray and steam splatter typical in food service environments. Its fully isolated plastic case with no FG requirement also simplifies installation in non-metallic fixture housings.

Is the PWM-60-12 a good fit for powering 12V LED strip in a pergola or outdoor entertainment area?

Yes. The IP67 rating and -40°C to +85°C operating temperature make the PWM-60-12 appropriate for pergola and outdoor entertainment lighting exposed to rain and temperature swings. Its 60W output is sufficient for several meters of decorative or task-oriented 12V strip.

How does the PWM-60-12 differ from the PWM-60-12DA, PWM-60-12DA2, and PWM-60-12KN?

All four share 60W output at 12V and 5A (except the KN at 2.5A). The PWM-60-12 uses 3-in-1 dimming (0–10V, PWM, resistance). The PWM-60-12DA adds DALI protocol support. The PWM-60-12DA2 adds DALI-2 protocol support with a wider input range starting at 12VAC. The PWM-60-12KN integrates KNX dimming without requiring a separate KNX-DALI gateway.
