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 the ELG-200-12 be used for 12V LED strip lighting in an outdoor installation exposed to rain?
Yes. The ELG-200-12 is rated IP67, providing full protection against dust ingress and temporary water immersion. It can be mounted in outdoor sign cabinets, underground enclosures, or exterior luminaire housings subject to direct water contact without additional sealing.
Is the ELG-200-12 suitable for powering 12V LED strip in a large commercial interior lighting project?
Yes. At 192W and 12V, the ELG-200-12 delivers up to 16A of output current, which supports extensive 12V LED strip runs in commercial interior cove, shelf, or accent lighting. The 16A output handles high-density strip types used in demanding retail or hospitality environments.
How many meters of 12V LED strip can the ELG-200-12 support?
The ELG-200-12 provides 192W at 12V. For a 9.6 W/m strip, that is up to 20 meters; for a 14.4 W/m strip, approximately 13 meters. Divide 192W by your strip's rated power per meter and apply a 20% derating margin for sustained reliable performance.
Can the ELG-200-12 power 12V LED strips for outdoor LED channel letter or cabinet sign applications?
Yes. The IP67 waterproof rating and 192W output at 12V make this driver well suited for 12V LED channel letters or backlit sign cabinets in outdoor locations. Its compact 244 × 71 × 37.5 mm metal housing with four 4.5 mm mounting holes is straightforward to install inside sign enclosures.
Is the ELG-200-12 appropriate for 12V LED strip lighting in cold-storage or freezer environments?
Yes. With a working case temperature range of -40°C to +90°C, this driver is rated to operate in cold-storage and freezer conditions. The IP67 sealed enclosure also protects it against moisture in refrigerated environments.
Can the ELG-200-12 be used for 12V LED strip in outdoor landscape or pathway lighting?
Yes. The IP67 rating and -40°C to +90°C case temperature range allow the ELG-200-12 to be installed in ground-level enclosures common in landscape and pathway lighting systems. Its 192W capacity at 12V supports multiple parallel LED strip circuits or fixtures from a single driver.
How does the ELG-200-12 compare to the ELG-200-12-3Y in this series?
Both are rated 192W at 12V / 16A with a 6–12V constant-current region, IP67 protection and the same 244 × 71 × 37.5 mm dimensions, and both are covered by the same series safety and EMC standards (UL8750, EN61347, EAC, KC and others). The difference is the input wiring: the ELG-200-12-3Y is the 3-wire input model with AC/N, AC/L and PE conductors, while the ELG-200-12 uses a two-wire AC input.
