Test conditions and notes12
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
  5. 5. 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)
  6. 6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
  7. 7. Suitable for indoor use or outdoor use without direct sunlight exposure. Please avoid immerse in the water over 30 minute.
  8. 8. 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).
  9. 9. Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the TUV/BIS/CCC logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
  10. 10. 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
  11. 11. This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China.(In the EU and China the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series are recommended.)
  12. 12. Products sourced from the China regions may not have the BIS logo, please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.

FAQ

What LED applications can the LPV-20-5 power at 5V?

The LPV-20-5 outputs 5V DC at up to 3A (15W total), making it suited for 5V LED pixel strips (such as WS2812-based addressable strips), small 5V LED panels, and compact low-voltage LED accent lighting. The total connected load must remain at or below 15W.

How many meters of 5V LED strip can the LPV-20-5 support?

The driver provides a maximum of 15W at 5V. Divide 15W by your strip's rated power per meter — for example, at 3W/m the result is 5 m. Always verify the strip's rated power consumption per meter and keep total load within the 15W ceiling.

Can the LPV-20-5 be used in damp or outdoor locations?

Yes. The unit is fully encapsulated to IP67, dust-tight and protected against temporary submersion (avoid more than 30 minutes), so it can be housed in outdoor enclosures out of direct sunlight and in damp-location fixtures. The operating temperature range of -30°C to +70°C (see derating curve) also supports cold-climate outdoor deployments.

Does the LPV-20-5 work on international mains voltages?

Yes. The 90–264VAC input range covers 110V/120V North American supplies, 220V/230V European supplies, and other voltages in that window. No manual voltage switching is required.

How does the LPV-20-5 compare to the LPV-100-5 and LPV-60-5 for 5V LED projects?

The LPV-20-5 delivers 5V at up to 3A, or 15W. For small 5V LED loads up to 15W the LPV-20-5 is sufficient; larger installations requiring more than 15W at 5V need a higher-power model such as the LPV-60-5 or LPV-100-5 — check their own datasheets for their current and power ratings.
