FAQs

What is the IP rating of this power supply?

This power supply has an IP20 rating, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but offers no protection against water. It is not suitable for wet or humid environments.

How do I calculate the maximum length of LED strip I can power?

To calculate, first determine the wattage per meter of your LED strip. Then, divide the total wattage of the power supply (150W) by the wattage per meter of the LED strip. For example, a strip consuming 12W/m can be a maximum of 12.5 meters long (150W / 12W/m).

Can this power supply be used for devices other than LED lights?

Yes, it can be used for any DC 5V device, such as security cameras (CCTV, IP), routers, or other electronics, provided the total power consumption does not exceed 150W and the voltage requirement is exactly 5V.

Does this power supply have dimming capabilities?

While the power supply itself does not have a built-in dimmer, it provides a stable, regulated current output which is suitable for use with external dimmable LED controllers or dimmable LED strips.

What does 'universal AC input / full range' mean?

It means the power supply can accept a wide range of AC input voltages, from 110V to 265V, making it adaptable to different electrical standards worldwide without needing manual switching.

Is this power supply safe to use indoors?

Yes, it is safe for indoor use in dry locations, provided it has adequate ventilation and is not exposed to moisture. Its IP20 rating makes it unsuitable for bathrooms or outdoor applications.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not power on

Verify AC input connections (L, N) are secure and receiving correct voltage. Check if the DC output connections are properly wired to the device.

Output voltage is incorrect or unstable

Use a multimeter to check the voltage at the '+V / ADJ' and 'GND' terminals. Adjust the voltage using the '+V / ADJ' potentiometer. Ensure the connected load does not exceed the 150W limit.

Connected LED strips flicker or are dim

Confirm the total wattage of the LED strips does not exceed the 150W rating of the power supply. Check all LED strip connections for looseness. Ensure the voltage output is correctly set to 5V.

Unit overheats

Ensure the unit is installed in a location with sufficient ventilation and that the airflow is not obstructed. Reduce the connected load if it is close to the 150W maximum.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stable and regulated DC 5V output
  • Built-in safety protections (overload, over-voltage, short circuit)
  • Wide input voltage range (AC 110-265V)
  • Suitable for professional LED lighting and security systems
  • Enhances LED lifespan by preventing flickering

Cons

  • IP20 rating means it's not waterproof or dustproof
  • Not recommended for use in bathrooms or other humid environments
  • Requires professional installation and understanding of DC power connections

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify Connections: Locate the input terminals (L, N for AC power) and output terminals (+V / ADJ, GND for DC power).
  2. Connect AC Input: Wire the AC 110-265V input to the 'L' and 'N' terminals, ensuring proper grounding with the 'GND' terminal.
  3. Connect DC Output: Connect the positive (+) output to the '+V / ADJ' terminal and the negative (-) output to the 'GND' terminal of your DC device (e.g., LED strip, camera).
  4. Adjust Voltage (if needed): Use a multimeter to check the output voltage and adjust it using the '+V / ADJ' potentiometer if necessary to match your device's requirements.
  5. Power On: Connect the main AC power source.

Compatibility:

This power supply is compatible with:

  • 3528, 2835, 3014, 5050, 5630, 5730 LED strip lights.
  • Security Surveillance Systems
  • CCTV Security Cameras
  • IP Cameras
  • Other DC 5V powered devices within its 150W capacity.

Care:

  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the unit. Do not cover ventilation openings.
  • Environment: Keep in a dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture and extreme temperatures. Not suitable for use in bathrooms.
  • Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
