12V LED Dimmable Driver 100W Magnetic ETL USA

This 100 watt M-Series dimmable driver from HitLights is a magnetic, ETL Listed Class 2 power supply that converts 120V AC to regulated 12V DC for single-color 12V LED strip lights. It’s sized for medium to longer indoor runs in kitchens, shelves, coves, and displays where reliable wall-dimmer control is required.

The driver accepts 120VAC input (108–132VAC, 50/60 Hz) and delivers 12V DC output up to 100 watts, or 8.3 amps, with a power factor of 0.96 and typical efficiency of 77 percent. Auto-reset protection on both the primary and secondary sides helps safeguard against overloads and short circuits in the low-voltage circuit.

A robust magnetic core sits inside a metal enclosure measuring 72 x 256 x 79 mm (2-3/4 x 10 x 3 inches), rated NEMA 3R for dry and damp locations and intended for indoor use. Bare wire connections make it straightforward to connect line, neutral, ground, and low-voltage outputs in a junction box or utility space.

• Input: 120VAC (108–132VAC), 50/60 Hz
• Output: 12V DC, 100W (8.3A), Class 2 circuit
• Dimming range: 0–100% with compatible MLV TRIAC dimmers
• Environmental: NEMA 3R (dry and damp), working temp –22°F to 113°F (–30°C to 45°C)
• Certifications: ETL Listed, Class 2; thermal class B 130°C; 6-year warranty

The driver is compatible with many Lutron dimmers (Ariadni, Vareo, Nova, Ceana, Diva, Gyder, Lyneo, Nova T, Skylark) and Leviton dimmers (Mural, SureSlide, ToggleTouch, Vizia), making it easy to integrate with existing control hardware. Unlike plug-in or non-dimmable supplies, this M-Series magnetic driver is engineered specifically for phase-cut dimming, delivering smooth, flicker-minimized brightness control for single-color 12V LED strip installations. 

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

• 1 × HitLights 150 Watt M-Series Dimmable Driver, Magnetic, ETL Listed, Class 2, 12V DC output

Q: What is the HitLights 100W M-Series dimmable driver used for?
A: It is a 100 watt magnetic dimmable LED driver that converts 120V AC to 12V DC to power single-color 12V LED strip lights on indoor circuits. It is designed for medium to long under-cabinet, cove, shelf, and display lighting runs that need wall-dimmer control and Class 2 low-voltage power.

Q: Who should use this 12V 100W magnetic dimmable driver?
A: This driver is aimed at electricians, low-voltage contractors, lighting designers and advanced DIY users who want a single, higher-capacity driver for several 12V strip runs. The 100W rating suits kitchens, long counters, shelving systems and commercial displays where a compact magnetic driver is preferred.

Q: How does the M-Series driver work with wall dimmers?
A: The driver connects to 120VAC through a compatible magnetic low-voltage (MLV) TRIAC wall dimmer and then outputs a dimmed 12V DC feed to the LED strips. It supports phase-cut dimming and is compatible with many Lutron dimmers (Ariadni, Vareo, Nova, Ceana, Diva, Gyder, Lyneo, Nova T, Skylark) and Leviton dimmers (Mural, SureSlide, ToggleTouch, Vizia).

Q: What are the key electrical and physical specifications?
A: Input is 120VAC (108–132VAC), 50/60 Hz, and output is 12V DC up to 100 watts, or 8.3 amps, rated as a Class 2 circuit. The enclosure measures 72 x 256 x 79 mm (2-3/4 x 10 x 3 inches), with efficiency around 77 percent and a power factor of 0.96. The housing is NEMA 3R rated for dry and damp indoor locations.

Q: How does this M-Series driver compare to non-dimmable or plug-in power supplies?
A: Non-dimmable adapters are not designed for phase-cut dimming and often flicker, buzz, or shut off when used with wall dimmers. The M-Series driver is purpose-built for dimming, using a magnetic core, a 0–100% dimming range, auto-reset protection and ETL Listed Class 2 output to provide smoother, more reliable light control in permanent installations.

Q: What is included with the 100W M-Series dimmable driver?
A: The package includes the 100W M-Series magnetic driver with bare wire leads for line, neutral, ground and low-voltage outputs. LED strips, dimmer switches, junction boxes, connectors and mounting brackets are purchased separately to suit the project layout and compliance requirements.

Q: Can this driver be used outdoors or with RGB or COB LED strips
A: This model is NEMA 3R rated for dry and damp conditions and is intended for indoor use; waterproof drivers are recommended for outdoor locations. It is designed for single-color 12V LED strips only and is not a controller for RGB or COB strip lights, which require dedicated multi-channel controllers.
