The HitLights 12V 60W Mini Dimmable LED Driver is a compact, UL Class 2 electronic power supply engineered for single-color 12V LED strip lighting with smooth 0–100% dimming. Its 2-inch-wide housing fits comfortably in space-constrained installs such as cabinets, coves, shelves, and feature walls.
- Compact constant-voltage driver that fits where traditional magnetic transformers do not.
- Wide dimmer compatibility with leading Triac, MLV, and ELV wall dimmers including popular Lutron models.
- Built-in overload and short-circuit protection for safer, more reliable low-voltage lighting projects.
- UL listed, Class 2, RoHS certified with a 6-year warranty for long-term peace of mind.
Delivering a 12V DC constant voltage output up to 60 watts (5 amps), this driver is ideal for powering single-color 12V LED strip lights in residential and light commercial applications. The high power factor (0.94 @ 120VAC) and 88% efficiency help reduce wasted energy and heat in the system.
The unit accepts 120V AC input at 0.75A, operates on 47–63 Hz mains, and is rated IP30 for dry indoor locations. Dimensions are a compact 84 x 40 x 25 mm (3.31 x 1.57 x 0.98 in), making placement inside junction boxes, cabinets, and tight plenums significantly easier.
Unlike bulkier magnetic transformers, this electronic driver offers smooth dimming from 0 to 100% when paired with compatible wall dimmers, reducing flicker and improving user comfort. Classified as Class 2, Class P, Type HL, SELV, it supports code-compliant, low-voltage LED installations that professional electricians and contractors can specify with confidence.
For installers seeking a small-form-factor, code-compliant driver for single-color 12V LED strip lights, this HitLights 60W Mini Dimmable LED Driver offers a practical balance of performance, safety, and reliability.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: What is the HitLights 12V 60W Mini Dimmable LED Driver used for?
A: It is an electronic Class 2 constant-voltage driver designed to power single-color 12V LED strip lights up to 60 watts. It converts 120V AC line voltage to a stable 12V DC output, enabling safe, code-compliant low-voltage lighting installations in residential and light commercial projects.
Q: Who is this mini dimmable driver best suited for?
A: This driver is ideal for electricians, contractors, cabinetmakers, and lighting designers working in tight spaces where a compact 12V power supply is needed. Its Class 2 rating, UL listing, and 6-year warranty make it a practical choice for professional jobs that require reliable, long-term low-voltage LED strip lighting.
Q: How does the dimming work and which wall dimmers are compatible?
A: The driver supports smooth 0–100% dimming when paired with compatible Triac, MLV, and ELV wall dimmers, including many popular Lutron CL and Diva series devices. It is designed for phase-cut dimming on 120V AC, delivering flicker-reduced performance with single-color 12V LED strip lights.
Q: What are the key electrical specifications of this driver?
A: Input is 120V AC, 0.75A, 47–63 Hz. Output is 12V DC constant voltage up to 60W (5A), with 88% efficiency and a 0.94 power factor at 120VAC. The unit is UL listed, Class 2, Class P, Type HL, SELV, and RoHS compliant for indoor dry-location use (IP30).
Q: Can this 12V mini driver be used outdoors or with RGB strips?
A: No. The driver is rated IP30 for dry indoor locations only and is intended for single-color 12V LED strip lights. It should not be used outdoors, in wet locations, or directly with RGB or multi-channel LED strips, which require an appropriate RGB controller and compatible power supply.
Q: What are the physical dimensions and how much space is required for installation?
A: The driver measures approximately 84 × 40 × 25 mm (3.31 × 1.57 × 0.98 inches) and weighs about 0.17 kg. Its compact housing allows installation in confined spaces, but adequate ventilation should be maintained around the driver to prevent overheating when mounted in enclosures or behind walls.
Q: What is the warranty and are there any maintenance requirements?
A: This mini dimmable driver carries a 6-year warranty from HitLights for typical LED strip applications. Routine maintenance mainly involves ensuring connections remain secure, vents are not blocked, and the driver is not operated beyond its rated 60W load or outside its specified temperature and humidity ranges.
