The HitLights 12V Dimmable LED Driver 200W is a constant-voltage power supply built to run 12V LED strip lights and other 12V DC lighting loads in residential, commercial, and light industrial projects. It combines 5-in-1 dimming flexibility with a waterproof IP66 housing and UL Listing for safe, code-friendly installations.
Designed for a 100–277V AC input range (47–63 Hz), this driver delivers 12V DC up to 200 watts (16.67 amps) with ≥88% efficiency at 120V AC and a 0.98 power factor at 120V, providing stable, efficient output for demanding lighting runs. The metal enclosure with integrated knockouts supports secure bare-wire connections and tidy wiring layouts that can be mounted near panels, in closets, or above ceilings.
- 5-in-1 dimming compatibility with TRIAC/MLV/ELV phase dimmers plus 0–10V, potentiometer, and 10V PWM control signals.
- Full 0–100% dimming range for smooth adjustment from subtle accent lighting to higher-output task lighting.
- IP66 rating for dry, damp, and wet locations, suitable for many indoor and protected outdoor applications.
- Integrated protections including short-circuit, over-current, over-voltage, low-voltage, over-temperature, and auto-recovery, plus UL safety certification.
Typical use cases include 12V LED strip lighting for under-cabinet runs, coves and trays, toe-kicks and stairs, retail displays, signage, and other 12V low-voltage fixtures that require a stable 12V DC driver. The compact 10.5 × 4.2 × 1.9 inch (260.6 × 106 × 49 mm) enclosure is sized for discreet placement while still allowing ventilation for heat dissipation.
Unlike non-dimmable power supplies or indoor-only transformers, this driver is designed to pair with common wall dimmers from brands such as Lutron and Leviton and to operate in more demanding environments thanks to its IP66 rating. A six-year warranty supports longer-term residential and commercial installations.
This 12V 200W dimmable driver is a practical choice for electricians, contractors, builders, and advanced DIY users who need a high-capacity, UL listed, waterproof driver for 12V LED strip lighting systems and other compatible 12V DC loads.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q1: What is the HitLights 12V 200W 5-in-1 dimmable LED driver used for?
A: It is a 12V constant-voltage power supply for running 12V LED strip lights and other 12V DC lighting loads up to 200 watts. It converts 100–277V AC mains power to 12V DC and adds multi-protocol dimming for architectural, residential, and commercial lighting projects.
Q2: Who is this 12V dimmable driver best suited for?
A: This driver is suited for electricians, lighting contractors, builders, and advanced DIY users who design 12V LED strip layouts or other 12V low-voltage installations. It fits kitchens, living areas, retail spaces, offices, and select outdoor or damp locations where dimming control, safety certifications, and waterproofing are important.
Q3: How does the 5-in-1 dimming work with wall dimmers and controls?
A: The driver supports TRIAC/phase, MLV, and ELV dimming along with 0–10V, potentiometer, and 10V PWM dimming inputs. This allows integration with many standard AC wall dimmers and low-voltage controls, providing smooth 0–100% dimming when used with compatible devices.
Q4: What are the key electrical and physical specifications?
A: Input is rated at 100–277V AC, 47–63 Hz, with a power factor of 0.98 at 120V AC. Output is 12V DC up to 200W (16.67A) with ≥88% efficiency at 120V AC, minimum load around 10%, and an IP66 rating. The enclosure measures about 10.5 × 4.2 × 1.9 inches (260.6 × 106 × 49 mm) and is UL listed.
Q5: How does this driver compare to non-dimmable or indoor-only power supplies?
A: Compared to non-dimmable supplies, this driver adds 5-in-1 dimming compatibility and a full 0–100% control range. Unlike indoor-only supplies, its IP66 rating allows use in dry, damp, and wet locations when installed correctly, while still providing UL Listing and integrated protection features for safety.
Q6: What environments can this 12V driver be installed in?
A: With an IP66 rating and a working temperature range of -40°C to +60°C and 20–95% non-condensing humidity, the driver is suitable for many indoor and protected outdoor environments when installed per guidelines. It can be used where moisture is present, provided local code and ventilation requirements are met.
Q7: How do I connect and maintain this driver?
A: Connect the black wire to live, white to neutral, and green to ground on the AC side; connect the red output to positive and the blue output to negative on the 12V LED strip or load. The unit is essentially maintenance-free; periodic visual checks for moisture ingress, loose connections, or overheating are recommended, and any issues should be corrected by a qualified electrician.
