Overview

PWM-60-12DA 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 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.
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-60-12DA be installed in outdoor or wet-area lighting applications?

Yes. The PWM-60-12DA carries an IP67 rating, protecting it from dust and temporary water immersion. Its -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range makes it suitable for outdoor enclosures, exterior signage, and covered wet-location fixtures.

How much 12V LED strip can the PWM-60-12DA drive?

The PWM-60-12DA provides up to 60W at 12V and 5A. To estimate maximum run length, divide 60W by your strip's rated watts per meter — for example, an 8W/m strip supports approximately 7.5 meters. Always verify your strip's actual rated power per meter.

Is the PWM-60-12DA suitable for DALI-controlled 12V LED strip in a commercial lighting system?

Yes. The PWM-60-12DA implements DALI protocol, allowing it to be addressed and dimmed from a DALI lighting control system. This makes it appropriate for commercial office, retail, or hospitality 12V LED installations where centralized DALI control is specified.

Can the PWM-60-12DA power 12V LED strips in an architectural facade or exterior signage application?

Yes. The IP67-rated housing and outdoor-rated operating temperature allow the PWM-60-12DA to be mounted in exterior signage enclosures or behind facade cladding for dimmable 12V LED strip lighting. DALI control allows the lighting level to be adjusted from a building management system.

Is the PWM-60-12DA appropriate for use in museum or gallery accent lighting requiring precise dimming?

Yes. DALI-controlled LED drivers like the PWM-60-12DA allow individual or group addressing and smooth dimming curves, which are valuable in museum and gallery settings where precise, flicker-free light level control is needed for exhibit accent lighting.

What is the difference between the PWM-60-12DA and the PWM-60-12DA2?

The PWM-60-12DA supports DALI (first generation), while the PWM-60-12DA2 supports DALI-2, which adds enhanced device discovery, query commands, and backward compatibility improvements. The DA2 also accepts a wider input voltage range starting at 12VAC, compared to 90VAC minimum for the DA. Both output 60W at 12V and 5A.
