Information about the MEAN WELL PWM-60-12
The MEAN WELL PWM‑60‑12 is a 60 W constant‑voltage LED driver with a PWM‑style output, engineered to maintain brightness homogeneity when driving 12 V LED strips and other constant‑voltage LED loads. Its PWM operation at around 1.47 kHz (Blank/DA) or 2.5 kHz (DA2) ensures smooth dimming while preserving color consistency and avoiding visible flicker across the entire dimming range.
Featuring typical efficiency around 86 %, active PFC and a wide 90–305 V AC input range, the driver is highly energy‑efficient and suitable for global use. The IP67 fully encapsulated housing, broad −40 to +85 °C case temperature rating and extensive protection set (short‑circuit, overload, overvoltage, overtemperature) make the PWM‑60‑12 robust enough for dry, damp and wet locations, including certain emergency lighting applications under IEC 61347‑2‑13.
With its 3‑in‑1 dimming interface (0–10 V, 10 V PWM signal, resistance) on the Blank version and optional DALI/DALI‑2 control (DA/DA2 types), the PWM‑60‑12 offers strong integration flexibility for modern lighting control systems and building automation. Combined with long lifetime ratings and comprehensive international safety and EMC approvals, it is well suited to professional LED strip lighting, indoor LED lighting, decorative installations, architectural lighting and industrial projects that require reliable 12 V constant‑voltage PWM drivers.
