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. 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. 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. Suitable for indoor use or outdoor use without direct sunlight exposure. Please avoid immerse in the water over 30 minute.
- 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. Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the TUV/BIS/CCC logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
- 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. 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. 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.
