Test conditions and notes12
- 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. 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 70℃ 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. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can the ELG-75-12B be used to power 12V LED strip lighting inside an outdoor sign cabinet?
Yes. The ELG-75 series carries an IP65 or IP67 rating, so the ELG-75-12B can be mounted inside outdoor sign cabinets or raceway enclosures exposed to rain. Follow MEAN WELL's IP installation cautions in the user manual, and note its working humidity rating is 20–95% RH non-condensing.
Is the ELG-75-12B suitable for LED lighting in a cold-storage or refrigerated display case?
Yes. With a case-temperature rating of -40°C to +85°C, this driver handles the low temperatures found in refrigerated environments. Its working humidity rating is 20–95% RH non-condensing, so mount it where condensation will not form on the driver.
Can I use the ELG-75-12B to dim 12V LED strip lighting with a 0–10V dimmer?
Yes. The B suffix on this model indicates it supports 3-in-1 dimming (10V PWM, 0–10V, and resistance dimming), making it compatible with standard 0–10V wall dimmers and building control systems commonly used in commercial LED installations. Minimum dimming level is about 8%.
How many meters of 12V LED strip can the ELG-75-12B power?
The ELG-75-12B delivers 60W at 12V on 200–305VAC input (48W on 100–180VAC). For a 10 W/m strip that allows up to 6 meters; for a 6 W/m strip, up to 10 meters. Divide the rated power by your strip's rated power per meter, and always apply a 20% derating margin for reliable long-term operation.
Is this driver a good fit for 12V LED strip used in under-cabinet kitchen lighting?
Yes. The ELG-75-12B's 60W output at 12V suits under-cabinet LED strip runs of moderate length. Its compact metal enclosure (180 × 63 × 35.5 mm, 0.8 kg) fits inside standard cabinetry, and the series' IP65/IP67 rating adds protection against splashes near sinks.
Can the ELG-75-12B power outdoor low-voltage landscape or pathway LED lighting?
Yes. The series' IP65/IP67 rating and the -40°C to +85°C case-temperature range make this driver well suited to landscape installations where rain and temperature extremes are common. The 12V output is compatible with many outdoor-rated LED pathway and accent fixtures.
What is the difference between the ELG-75-12B and other ELG-75-12 variants such as the ELG-75-12A or ELG-75-12DA?
All ELG-75-12 variants share 12V output, 5A current and 60W, but differ in control interface: the ELG-75-12 (no suffix) has fixed output; the ELG-75-12A adds a built-in potentiometer for output adjustment; the ELG-75-12B (this unit) supports 3-in-1 dimming (0–10V/10V PWM/resistance); the ELG-75-12AB combines both; and the ELG-75-12DA uses a DALI interface. The -3Y variants include a 3-wire input with protective earth.
