Test conditions and notes14
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 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. 4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  5. 5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTICS” sections for details.
  6. 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. 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. 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. 9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
  10. 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. 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. 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. 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. 14. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

What makes the ELG-150-12B-3Y different from the standard ELG-150-12B?

The ELG-150-12B-3Y adds a 3-conductor input configuration compared to the standard ELG-150-12B, which is useful for installations requiring a separate earth/ground wire on the input side. Both share the same 120W, 12V, 10A output, IP67 rating, and 3-in-1 dimming capability.

Can the ELG-150-12B-3Y power 12V LED strips in an outdoor landscape lighting system?

Yes. With an IP67 waterproof rating the driver can be installed in outdoor junction boxes or weatherproof enclosures appropriate for landscape use. It supplies 120W at 12V, enough to drive multiple landscape LED strip runs from one supply.

How much 12V LED strip can I run from the ELG-150-12B-3Y?

The driver provides 120W at 12V. For a 9.6 W/m strip, that allows 120 ÷ 9.6 = 12.5 m at full load; apply an 80% derating for continuous use, giving about 10 m. Always verify your strip's rated power per meter before sizing.

Is the ELG-150-12B-3Y suitable for powering LED channel letters on an outdoor sign?

Yes. The IP67 waterproof enclosure protects against rain and outdoor humidity, and 12V is the standard voltage for LED modules used in illuminated channel letters. The 3-in-1 dimming allows brightness adjustment if needed for daytime/nighttime operation.

Can the ELG-150-12B-3Y operate in a cold storage room that drops below freezing?

Yes. The working case temperature (Tcase) range is -40°C to +90°C, so it can function in cold storage environments well below 0°C without issue.

Can I use the ELG-150-12B-3Y with a 0–10V building automation dimming system?

Yes. The 3-in-1 dimming on this driver accepts a 0–10VDC signal as one of its three control methods (alongside 10V PWM and resistance), which works with standard 0–10V building automation and lighting control systems.
