Test conditions and notes11
- 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. 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.
- 9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 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

FAQ
Is the NPF-120-20 rated for outdoor or wet-location use?
Yes. The IP67 rating on the NPF-120-20 means it is sealed against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water. Combined with its working case temperature (Tcase) range of -40°C to +90°C (with load derating per the output load vs temperature curve), it is suitable for outdoor signage, facade lighting, and other exposed installations.
What LED applications suit the NPF-120-20's 20V output?
The NPF-120-20 supplies 20V DC at 6A (120W). It is a practical choice for 20V-rated LED modules used in architectural accent lighting, retail display fixtures, and mid-voltage LED strip systems designed to run at 20V, with a constant-current region of 12–20V.
How does the NPF-120-20 compare to its 120W siblings at 24V and 30V?
All three share IP67 protection, the 191.0 × 63.0 × 37.5 mm housing, and 0.97 kg weight. The NPF-120-20 outputs 20V at 6A (CC range 12–20V); the NPF-120-24 outputs 24V at 5A (CC range 14.4–24V); the NPF-120-30 outputs 30V at 4A (CC range 18–30V). Each is suited to LED loads rated at its respective voltage.
Does the NPF-120-20 support universal mains input?
Yes. The NPF-120-20 accepts 90–305VAC, covering both 120VAC (North America) and 230VAC (Europe/Asia) mains voltages without any manual voltage switching. This simplifies global product procurement and reduces the number of SKUs needed for multi-region deployments.
