Test conditions and notes15
- 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".
- 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 CHARACTERISTIC” 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. No load/standby power consumption is specified for 230VAC input.
- 8. 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)
- 9. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 70℃ or less.
- 10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 11. 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).
- 12. 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
- 13. BIS IS15885(for 12/12A/12B/12DA/24/24A/24B/24DA/36/36A/36B/42A/42B/48/48A/48B/54A/54B).
- 14. 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.
- 15. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can I use the ELG-200-12A to power 12V LED strip lighting for a commercial installation?
Yes. The ELG-200-12A delivers 12V DC at up to 16A, providing 192W of capacity for 12V LED strips. At 192W total, divide that by your strip's rated watts per meter to find the maximum run length — for example, a 14.4W/m strip allows roughly 13 meters. Always verify your strip's rated power per meter before sizing the run.
Is the ELG-200-12A suitable for powering outdoor 12V LED signage?
Yes. The ELG-200-12A carries an IP65 water-resistance rating, protecting it against low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is well suited for sheltered outdoor LED signage cabinets and covered architectural lighting installations exposed to rain splash.
Can the ELG-200-12A operate on both 120V North American and 230V European mains supplies?
Yes. The ELG-200-12A accepts a universal input range of 100–305VAC, covering 120V (North America), 230V (Europe), and 277V (US commercial) without manual voltage switching or configuration. Output is rated 144W at 100–180VAC and 192W at 200–305VAC.
Will the ELG-200-12A work in extreme-temperature environments such as cold-storage or rooftop installations?
Yes for cold storage: the ELG-200-12A is rated for a case temperature of -40°C to +90°C. For hot rooftop locations, load must be derated: in constant-current mode at rated current the 12V model works up to 50°C ambient, so keep the case within the +90°C limit.
Can I use the ELG-200-12A for 12V LED lighting in retail display fixtures?
Yes. The ELG-200-12A's built-in potentiometer lets you trim voltage (11.2–12.8V) and current (8–16A) to match different 12V LED loads across display fixtures. Its 192W capacity supports larger fixture arrays, and the metal enclosure suits both in-cabinet and panel-mount installations.
Is the ELG-200-12A certified for use in North America and Europe?
Yes. The sheet lists UL8750 (Type HL) and CSA C22.2 No. 250.13-12 for North America, and IEC/EN 61347-1, 61347-2-13 and EN62384 safety with EN55015, EN61000-3-2 Class C and EN61547 EMC compliance for Europe. EAC, GB/T19510, KC and BIS IS15885 approvals are also listed.
How does the ELG-200-12A differ from the ELG-200-12B and ELG-200-12AB variants?
All three share the same 192W / 12V / 16A output. The ELG-200-12A (IP65) adds output voltage and current adjustability via potentiometer. The ELG-200-12B (IP67) adds a 3-in-1 dimming interface supporting 0–10V, PWM, and resistance signals. The ELG-200-12AB (IP65) combines both the adjustability of the A and the dimming interface of the B.
