Test conditions and notes14
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE". For DA-Type, Constant Current region is 60%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
- 3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTICS” sections for details.
- 6. 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.
- 7. 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)
- 8. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
- 9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- 10. 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).
- 11. 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
- 12. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 13. ELG-150-12(except blank/A-Type) is used for any light source that exempt from the ErP-Directive (EU) 2019/2020 requirement, for example this model could be use for signalling products(including, but not limited to road-, railway-, marineorair traffic-signalling , traffic control or airfield lamps) .
- 14. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can the ELG-150-12 power a 12V LED strip installation in an outdoor landscape lighting project?
Yes. The ELG-150-12 is rated IP67, making it waterproof against temporary immersion, and its -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) range covers outdoor climate conditions. At 120W and 10A, it can drive substantial 12V LED strip runs used in garden beds, pathway edges, or architectural landscape features.
How many meters of 12V LED strip can the ELG-150-12 support?
The driver provides 120W at 10A. For a common 12V strip rated at 14.4 W/m, you can run approximately 8.3 m (120 W ÷ 14.4 W/m). For a higher-density strip at 24 W/m, that reduces to about 5 m. Always confirm your strip's rated wattage per meter and leave a 10–20% safety margin.
Is the ELG-150-12 suitable for powering LED strips in a retail display case or under-cabinet fixture?
Yes. The ELG-150-12 accepts 100–305VAC input, making it compatible with standard retail wiring. At 12V and 10A it can supply multiple under-cabinet or display runs from a single driver. Its MTBF of 2661.6K hours (Telcordia) and >50,000-hour typical life at Tcase ≈80°C suit the reliability demands of commercial retail environments.
Can I use the ELG-150-12 in a food service kitchen where the driver may be exposed to moisture and cleaning?
Yes. The IP67 rating protects against dust and brief immersion, which covers the moisture and splashing found in commercial kitchens. Mount the driver in a location where it will not be directly submerged or jet-washed, and ensure its case stays within the -40°C to +90°C Tcase range.
Can the ELG-150-12 be used to drive 12V LED tape in an indoor neon-replacement signage installation?
Yes. Neon-replacement LED flex typically runs on 12V DC, and a 120W, 10A driver like the ELG-150-12 can supply enough power for multi-meter sign runs or multi-color segments. The wide input range (100–305VAC) ensures compatibility whether the sign is installed in North America, Europe, or Asia.
Does the ELG-150-12 operate correctly in very cold environments like outdoor winter installations?
Yes. The minimum case temperature (Tcase) is -40°C, which covers the coldest outdoor winter conditions in most climates. Combined with IP67 waterproofing, the ELG-150-12 is appropriate for year-round outdoor installations such as holiday lighting infrastructure or permanent outdoor signage in cold regions.
