Mean Well ELG-150-12AB Power Supply | 120W 12V

Q: Can the ELG-150-12AB be used to drive 12V LED strips in an outdoor retail sign cabinet?

The ELG-150-12AB is rated IP65, which protects against water jets and dust but is not submersion-rated. It is appropriate for sign cabinets that shield the driver from direct rain exposure. For unprotected outdoor mounting where direct rain contact is likely, consider the IP67-rated ELG-150-12B instead.

Q: Is the ELG-150-12AB appropriate for a 12V LED strip installation in a hotel corridor with a building-automation dimming system?

Yes. The AB suffix means the driver supports both adjustable output current and 3-in-1 dimming (1–10V, PWM, and resistance). This covers the range of control interfaces used in building-automation and hospitality environments, allowing integration with scene controllers or BMS systems.

Q: How many meters of 12V LED strip can the ELG-150-12AB power?

The driver outputs 120W at 10A. For a 12V strip rated at 14.4 W/m, you can run approximately 8.3 m per driver (120 W ÷ 14.4 W/m). For a denser strip at 24 W/m, that reduces to about 5 m. Always verify the strip's rated power per meter and allow a 10–20% safety margin.

Q: Can the ELG-150-12AB power 12V LED tape used in cove lighting for a restaurant interior?

Yes. With 120W of output at 12V and support for continuous dimming via the built-in 3-in-1 interface, this driver suits restaurant cove lighting where tunable ambient levels are needed for different service periods. The adjustable current also allows fine brightness calibration during the fit-out.

Q: Is the ELG-150-12AB suitable for 12V LED strip lighting in a residential bathroom with steam or humidity?

The IP65 rating provides protection against water spray, which covers steam and humidity in bathroom environments. Avoid direct water contact on the driver body. For shower niches or areas with direct water splash, the IP67 variant would offer additional protection.

Q: Can this driver be used in a commercial office fit-out with 0–10V dimmers controlling 12V LED strip ceiling lights?

Yes. The AB model includes 1–10V dimming support as part of its 3-in-1 interface, which is directly compatible with standard 0–10V commercial dimmers. At 120W and 10A, it provides sufficient power for multi-meter runs of 12V ceiling strip in open-plan office layouts.
