12V LED Dimmable Driver 60W Magnetic ETL Class 2 USA

This 60 watt M-Series dimmable LED 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 targets permanent indoor lighting projects such as under-cabinet, cove, display, and architectural accent lighting where reliable wall-dimmer control is important.

The driver operates from 120VAC input (108–132VAC, 50/60 Hz) and provides 12V DC output up to 60 watts, or 5 amps, with a power factor near 0.96 and efficiency just over 73 percent. Auto-reset protection on both primary and secondary sides helps safeguard against overloads and short circuits in low-voltage circuits.

A compact metal enclosure, about 57 x 166 x 65 mm (2-1/4 x 6-9/16 x 2-9/16 inches), is rated NEMA 3R for dry and damp environments and is intended for indoor use. Bare wire connections make it straightforward to tie into line, neutral, and ground on the input side and positive/negative leads on the LED strip side in a junction box or enclosure.

• Input: 120VAC (108–132VAC), 50/60 Hz
• Output: 12V DC, 60W (5A), Class 2
• Dimming range: 0–100 percent with compatible MLV TRIAC dimmers
• Environmental: NEMA 3R (dry and damp), indoor use, ETL Listed, Class 2

M-Series dimmable drivers are designed for use with a wide range of Lutron and Leviton wall dimmers, including models such as Ariadni, Diva, Vareo, Nova, Lyneo, Nova T, Skylark, Mural, SureSlide, ToggleTouch, and Vizia. Unlike generic plug-in or non-dimmable supplies, this magnetic driver is engineered for phase-cut dimming, delivering smooth, flicker-minimized brightness control at the wall switch. It is compatible with single-color 12V LED strips only and is not intended for RGB systems or outdoor installations.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

• 1 × HitLights 60 Watt M-Series Dimmable Driver, Magnetic, ETL Listed, Class 2, 12V DC output

Q: What is the HitLights 60W M-Series dimmable driver used for?
A: It is a 60 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 intended for architectural, cabinet, and accent lighting where wall-dimmer control and Class 2 low-voltage safety are required.

Q: Who is this 12V 60W dimmable driver designed for?
A: The driver is aimed at electricians, low-voltage contractors, lighting designers, and advanced DIY users building permanent 12V LED strip systems. Its 60W rating suits medium-length runs in kitchens, shelves, stair lighting, and commercial displays that call for a magnetic, ETL-listed driver.

Q: How does the M-Series driver work with wall dimmers?
A: The driver connects to 120VAC through a compatible MLV TRIAC wall dimmer, then outputs a dimmed 12V DC feed to the LED strips. Internal electronics are tuned for phase-cut dimming, and the driver is compatible with Lutron models such as Ariadni, Diva, Vareo, Nova, Lyneo, Nova T, Skylark and Leviton models such as Mural, SureSlide, ToggleTouch, and 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 60 watts, or 5 amps, rated as a Class 2 circuit. The housing measures approximately 57 x 166 x 65 mm (2-1/4 x 6-9/16 x 2-9/16 inches), with a power factor around 0.96 and efficiency over 73 percent. The enclosure 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 or plug-in adapters are not designed for phase-cut dimming and often flicker or shut off when used with wall dimmers. The M-Series driver is built specifically for dimming, using a magnetic core design, 0–100 percent range, auto-reset protection, and ETL-listed Class 2 output to give smoother, more predictable light control in permanent installations.

Q: What is included with the 60W M-Series dimmable driver?
A: The package includes the 60W M-Series magnetic driver with bare wire leads for line, neutral, ground, and low-voltage output. LED strips, dimmers, junction boxes, connectors, and mounting brackets are sourced separately to suit the project layout and compliance requirements.

Q: Can this driver be used outdoors or with RGB 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 compatible with single-color 12V LED strips only and does not control RGB or multi-channel LED systems, which require RGB controllers or different driver types.
