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. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 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 75℃ 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

FAQ
Can I use the LPF-40-20 with 20V LED strip or linear lighting?
Yes, if the lighting product is designed for 20V input and the total load stays within 40W. This unit delivers 20V output at up to 2A, so it should only be paired with 20V lighting products that fit inside that power limit.
Is the LPF-40-20 a good fit for 20V sign lighting?
It can be used for 20V sign lighting loads up to 40W. The IP67 Waterproof rating also makes it appropriate for signage installations where the power supply may face outdoor moisture.
Can this power supply run 20V outdoor architectural lighting?
It can support 20V outdoor architectural or accent lighting as long as the connected load is within 40W. Its IP67 rating and -40°C to +80°C case temperature (Tcase) range make the driver itself suitable for exposed conditions.
How much 20V LED strip can the LPF-40-20 support?
The length depends on the strip's rated power per meter. Use 40W divided by the strip's W/m to estimate the maximum length, then confirm the strip is a 20V product and that total demand stays at or below 40W.
Is the LPF-40-20 suitable for wet locations?
Yes, the driver carries an IP67 Waterproof rating, so it is intended for wet and outdoor environments. It is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +80°C, with load derating at higher temperatures per the sheet's output load vs temperature curve.
How does the LPF-40-20 compare with other LPF-40 voltage versions?
The fixed-output LPF-40 range includes 12V at 40.08W and 3.34A, 15V at 40.08W and 2.67A, 20V at 40W and 2A, 24V at 40.08W and 1.67A, 30V at 40.2W and 1.34A, 36V at 40.32W and 1.12A, 42V at 40.32W and 0.96A, 48V at 40.32W and 0.84A, and 54V at 41.04W and 0.76A. Selection is mainly about matching the required output voltage and current to the load.
