This power supply is suitable for 12V LED strip lights, LED controllers, and other compatible low-voltage devices such as CCTV cameras and small electronics, as long as the combined load stays within 60W. It is non-dimmable by itself, but works with 12V PWM dimmers and RGB/RGBW controllers positioned on the low-voltage side of the system.
For installers, integrators, and DIY users seeking a dependable 12V power source with documented safety certifications, this supply offers a straightforward way to power LED strip lighting and related equipment in indoor environments. A three-year warranty supports long-term projects and repeat use
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Q: What is the HitLights 60W 12V DC power supply used for?
A: This power supply converts 110–240V AC wall power to a regulated 12V DC output at up to 60 watts, or 5 amps. It is primarily used to power 12V LED strip lights, LED controllers, and other compatible low voltage 12V DC devices in indoor installations.
Q: Who is this 12V power supply best suited for?
A: The 60W 12V DC power supply suits electricians, contractors, integrators, and DIY users needing a reliable, UL-listed source for 12V LED strip lighting. It is appropriate for under-cabinet, cove, display, and accent lighting projects where loads total 60 watts or less and indoor-only operation is acceptable.
Q: How do I connect this power supply to LED strip lights?
A: Plug the NEMA 1 AC plug into a standard wall outlet, then connect the 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC jack to a compatible LED strip, controller, or barrel connector. No internal wiring is required; the supply is plug-and-play as long as the LED system uses 12V DC and is within the 60W power rating.
Q: What are the electrical specifications of this 60W adapter?
A: The power supply accepts 110–240V AC at 47–63 Hz and outputs 12V DC at up to 5 amps, for a total of 60 watts. It offers approximately 86% efficiency and includes short circuit and over-current protection. The output is via a 4 ft cable terminating in a 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC jack.
Q: Is this power supply dimmable or compatible with RGB controllers?
A: The power supply is non-dimmable on its own, but it is compatible with 12V single-color PWM dimmers and RGB or RGBW controllers when the control device is connected on the 12V DC side. This allows brightness control and color changing as long as the total load across the system does not exceed 60 watts.
Q: Can this power supply be used outdoors?
A: This unit has an IP30 rating and is designed for indoor use only. It should not be exposed to rain, moisture, or outdoor environments. For outdoor lighting projects, a power supply with an appropriate weatherproof rating, such as IP65 or higher, is recommended instead of this indoor-only model.
Q: What are the physical dimensions and warranty details?
A: The housing measures approximately 33 x 120 x 50 mm (about 1-5/16 x 4-3/4 x 2 inches), allowing easy placement behind cabinets or in equipment spaces. The power supply is UL-listed and covered by a 3-year warranty from HitLights, providing long-term support for professional and residential lighting installations.
