Overview

PWM-60-48 is the 48V output model of this series: rated current 1.25A, rated power 60W, typical efficiency 90%.

PWM-60 series is a 60W LED AC/DC LED driver featuring the constant voltage mode with PWM style output, which is able to maintain the brightness homogeneity when driving all kinds of LED strips. PWM-60 operates from 90～305VAC and offers models with different rated voltage ranging between 12V and 48V. Thanks to the high efficiency up to 90%, with the fanless design, the entire series is able to operate for -40℃ ~ +85℃ case temperature under free air convection.

Test conditions and notes9

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
3. 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.
4. 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)
5. 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.
6. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
7. 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).
8. 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
9. Based on IEC 62386-101/102 DALI power on timing and interruption regulations, the set up time needs to test with a DALI controller which can support for DALI power on function, otherwise the set up time will be higher than 0.5 second for DA type.

FAQ

What types of LED lighting applications use a 48V dimmable driver like the PWM-60-48?

48V LED strips and luminaires are increasingly used in longer runs and in Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible systems where lower current reduces resistive losses. The PWM-60-48 is suited to 48V architectural strip systems, long-run cove lighting, and specialty 48V luminaires that benefit from reduced voltage drop over distance.

Can the PWM-60-48 be installed in a damp or outdoor location?

Yes. The IP67 rating certifies protection against dust and temporary water immersion, so the driver can be placed in outdoor enclosures, wet-area sign boxes, or exposed architectural installations. Its operating temperature spans -40°C to +85°C, covering a wide range of outdoor climates.

How long a 48V LED strip can the PWM-60-48 power?

The PWM-60-48 provides a maximum of 60W at 48V and 1.25A. For a 10 W/m strip, the theoretical maximum is 6 meters; at 20 W/m it is 3 meters. Always check your strip's specific power rating per meter, and derate to 80% load (48W) for continuous operation to protect driver longevity.

Is the PWM-60-48 compatible with a PWM dimming signal from a building automation controller?

Yes. The built-in 3-in-1 dimming accepts 0–10V, PWM signal, and resistance inputs. A standard PWM dimming output from a building controller or smart relay will control the LED output smoothly without additional hardware.

Can I use the PWM-60-48 for dimmable 48V retail display lighting?

Yes. The combination of 60W output, IP67 enclosure, and 3-in-1 dimming makes the PWM-60-48 suitable for commercial retail display applications using 48V LED strips. The Class II design simplifies mounting in plastic display cabinetry.

How does the PWM-60-48 compare to the other 60W PWM series voltage options?

The 60W PWM family in this voltage tier includes the PWM-60-24 (24V, 2.5A), PWM-60-36 (36V, 1.67A), and PWM-60-48 (48V, 1.25A), all sharing the same 150 × 53 × 35 mm housing and IP67 rating. Higher voltage means lower current for the same wattage, which can reduce resistive losses over longer cable runs.
