Product Information
Full details
This Eagle 60W 12V 5A Constant Voltage LED Lighting Power Supply is designed for users needing a reliable power source for LED tape lights and rope lights. Its key benefit is providing stable, consistent power to ensure optimal LED performance and longevity. A potential caveat is that it is a constant voltage supply, meaning it's best suited for applications where the total LED load does not exceed its 60W capacity and requires proper wiring. Key features include a built-in EMI filter for cleaner power, adherence to safety standards, and a compact design.

FAQs
What is the difference between constant voltage and constant current power supplies?
Constant voltage (CV) power supplies provide a steady voltage (like 12V) and the current varies based on the connected load. They are typically used for LED strips and ropes. Constant current (CC) power supplies provide a steady current and the voltage varies to meet the needs of the load, usually for high-power LEDs or LED modules.
Can I connect more than 60W of LEDs to this power supply?
No, you should not connect more than 60W of LEDs. Exceeding the rated capacity can cause the power supply to overheat, shorten its lifespan, or lead to premature failure. Always ensure your total LED load is within the specified wattage.
Is this power supply suitable for outdoor use?
The provided description does not specify suitability for outdoor or wet locations. This power supply should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated indoor environment unless otherwise indicated by further product specifications or certifications.
What does a built-in EMI filter do?
An EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) filter helps to reduce electrical noise or interference that can be generated by the power supply. This leads to cleaner power delivery to your LEDs and can prevent disruptions to other nearby electronic devices.
How do I connect multiple LED strips to one power supply?
You can connect multiple LED strips in parallel to the 12V DC output of the power supply, provided their combined wattage does not exceed 60W and their combined amperage does not exceed 5A. Ensure all positive connections are joined together and all negative connections are joined together.
What are the dimensions and weight of the power supply?
The dimensions are approximately 4.00cm (height) x 16.50cm (length) x 7.00cm (width), and it weighs about 0.35kg.
Troubleshooting
LED lights do not turn on.
Check that the power supply is properly plugged into the AC outlet. Verify all DC wiring connections are secure and correct (positive to positive, negative to negative). Ensure the total wattage of your LED load does not exceed the power supply's 60W rating. Test the power supply output with a multimeter if possible.
LED lights flicker or dim inconsistently.
Ensure the total load is within the 60W (5A) limit. Loose wiring connections can cause intermittent power. Check for potential interference, although the built-in EMI filter should mitigate this. If the problem persists, the power supply may be faulty or the LED strip itself might be the issue.
Power supply is hot to the touch.
Some warmth is normal during operation. However, if it is excessively hot, ensure the unit is adequately ventilated and not covered. Check that the connected LED load is within the specified 60W limit. Overloading the power supply will cause it to overheat and can lead to failure.
No output voltage detected.
Confirm the AC input is receiving power. Check the internal fuses if accessible (consult manual if applicable). If the unit consistently shows no output voltage under load, it may require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine Load: Calculate the total wattage of your LED lighting system. Ensure it does not exceed the 60W capacity of the power supply.
- Wiring: Connect the AC input (live, neutral, ground) to the appropriate terminals on the power supply. Connect the 12V DC output (positive and negative) to your LED lighting system. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
- Placement: Install the power supply in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and moisture, following electrical codes.
Compatibility:
- This power supply is designed for 12V DC Constant Voltage LED products such as LED tape lights and rope lights.
- It is not compatible with 24V systems or constant current LED drivers.
- Verify that the total amperage draw of your LED load does not exceed 5A.
Care:
- Ensure the power supply is unplugged before any cleaning or maintenance.
- Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Periodically check wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
- Ensure ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating.
