Test conditions and notes13
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  3. 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. 4. Current ripple is measured 50%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
  5. 5. Standby power consumption is measured at 230VAC.
  6. 6. 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)
  7. 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. 8. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixture, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
  9. 9. Flicker is measured at full load with the light source provided by MEAN WELL.
  10. 10. For XLC-S series: RCM is on a voluntary basis. Non IC classification Independent LED control gear is not suitable for residential installations. For XLC(except -S) series: RCM is on a voluntary basis and meets relevant IEC or AS/NZS standards complying with AS/NZS 4417.1.
  11. 11. This series meets the typical life expectancy of 50000 hours of operation when Tcase,particularly tc point(or TMP,per DLC), is about 75℃ or less.

FAQ

Can I use the XLC-60-12 to power 12V LED strip lighting in a retail display cabinet?

Yes. The XLC-60-12 outputs 12V at up to 5A (60W total), which is well-suited for 12V LED strip installations inside display cabinets. Its flicker-free operation makes it a good fit where consistent light quality matters. Check your strip's rated watts per meter to confirm the total load stays at or below 60W.

Is the XLC-60-12 suitable for powering 12V LED signage in a commercial setting?

Yes. The 60W constant voltage output at 12V makes this driver a practical choice for illuminated signage using 12V LED modules or strips. It accepts 100–305VAC input, giving flexibility across international mains voltages. Ensure your sign's total LED load does not exceed 60W.

Can I use this driver for under-cabinet LED strip lighting in a kitchen or office?

Yes. The XLC-60-12 is designed for built-in use and delivers a stable 12V constant voltage output, which is standard for under-cabinet LED strip systems. Its flicker-free design helps avoid visible flicker on camera or to sensitive observers. Keep the combined strip load under 60W.

How much 12V LED strip can the XLC-60-12 drive?

The XLC-60-12 provides a maximum of 60W at 12V. For example, a 12V strip rated at 10W/m allows up to 6 meters from this driver; a 14.4W/m strip allows approximately 4.1 meters. Always check your specific strip's rated power per meter and do not exceed 60W total load.

Is the XLC-60-12 safe to use in damp or outdoor environments?

The XLC-60-12 does not carry an IP ingress protection rating, so it is intended for dry, indoor, or enclosed-fixture installations only. It should not be directly exposed to moisture, rain, or condensation. For wet or outdoor locations, select a driver with an appropriate IP65 or higher rating.

What is the operating temperature range of the XLC-60-12?

The XLC-60-12 operates between -25°C and +90°C. This wide range supports use in cold storage areas as well as warm equipment enclosures. Ensure adequate ventilation in the installation enclosure to avoid sustained high-temperature operation.

How does the XLC-60-12 compare to other 60W models in the XLC series?

The XLC-60 tier includes 12V, 24V, and 48V constant voltage variants (XLC-60-12, XLC-60-24, XLC-60-48) as well as constant current H-variants. The XLC-60-12 and XLC-60-12-S share identical 60W/12V/5A specs; the -S adds a strain-relief fitting. The -DA2 variants add DALI-2 dimming with a 0.1% minimum dim level.
