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

What dimming interfaces does the ELG-200-12AB support?

The ELG-200-12AB combines output adjustability via potentiometer (the 'A' feature) with a built-in 3-in-1 dimming interface supporting 0–10V analog, PWM, and resistance dimming signals (the 'B' feature). This allows it to interface with most commercial lighting-control and building-management systems.

Can the ELG-200-12AB be used in 12V LED installations that require dimmable control?

Yes. The ELG-200-12AB is purpose-built for applications where both output trimming and dynamic dimming are needed, such as dimmable 12V LED strip systems in hospitality, retail, or architectural lighting. Its 192W / 12V / 16A rating supports substantial LED loads.

Is the ELG-200-12AB suitable for outdoor LED signage applications?

The ELG-200-12AB carries an IP65 water-resistance rating, making it suitable for sheltered outdoor cabinets and covered LED signage enclosures where rain splash is a concern. It should not be directly submerged or exposed to high-pressure water.

How many meters of 12V LED strip can the ELG-200-12AB drive?

The ELG-200-12AB provides 192W at 12V and 16A. For a 14.4W/m strip, that allows approximately 13 meters; for a 9.6W/m strip, approximately 20 meters. Always check your strip's rated power per meter and leave a 20% headroom margin for long-term reliability.

Can the ELG-200-12AB operate in cold outdoor environments?

Yes. The ELG-200-12AB is rated for a case temperature of -40°C to +90°C, covering sub-zero winter conditions. Its IP65 rating additionally protects against dust and low-pressure water jets in sheltered outdoor locations.

Is the ELG-200-12AB appropriate for 12V LED lighting in a museum or gallery with dimming control?

Yes. The ELG-200-12AB's 0–10V, PWM, and resistance dimming inputs make it compatible with the lighting-control systems commonly used in museums and galleries. The adjustable output allows precise current matching to sensitive LED fixtures, and the 192W capacity suits multi-fixture circuits.
