Test conditions and notes12
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
- 5. This is the maximum possible output current and power. Over load protection may be activated slightly below this level to comply with the requirement of UL1310 class 2.
- 6. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 7. Safety and EMC design refer to EN60598-1, subject 8750(UL), CNS15233, GB7000.1, FCC part18.
- 8. The power supply 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. 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.
- 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. PLN-100-12 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).

FAQ
Can I use the Mean Well PLN-100-12 for 12V LED signage?
Yes, this model is suitable for 12V LED signage as long as the load matches its 12V output and stays within 60W and 5A. Its IP64 rating also makes it a practical option for signage applications where dust and splashing water are a concern.
Is the PLN-100-12 a good fit for 12V outdoor lighting?
It can be used for 12V lighting in environments where an IP64 power supply is appropriate. IP64 means protection against dust ingress and splashing water, so it is better suited to protected outdoor or damp locations than fully exposed wet conditions.
Can this power supply run 12V LED strip lighting?
It can power 12V LED strip lighting if the strip's total load does not exceed 60W or 5A and the strip's electrical requirements match this 12V output model. For sizing, maximum strip length = 60W divided by your strip's rated watts per meter, so check your strip rated power per meter before choosing the total length.
Is the PLN-100-12 suitable for signage or lighting in cold or hot environments?
This unit is rated for operation from -30°C to +50°C, so it can be used across a wide temperature range if the installation stays within those limits. That makes it more suitable for challenging indoor or sheltered outdoor conditions than products with narrower temperature ratings.
Can I use this for a 12V lighting load that needs up to 5A?
Yes, this model is rated for 12V output at up to 5A, with 60W total output power. That means it fits 12V lighting applications whose total demand is at or below 60W, and you should keep the connected load within that limit.
Is the IP64 rating enough for wet or exposed outdoor locations?
IP64 means the unit is protected against dust and splashing water, but it is not the same as a higher waterproof rating. It is better suited to protected outdoor use, signage, or damp environments where direct water exposure is limited.
