The HitLights 12V power supply 96W is a plug-in UL-listed adapter designed to deliver stable low-voltage power to LED strip lights and other 12V DC devices. It converts standard 100–240V AC mains power to a regulated 12V DC output, providing up to 96 watts (8 amps) of usable power.
Rated to handle the load of multiple standard-density LED strip runs, this supply is well suited for under-cabinet lighting, cove lighting, display cases, and small signage. The integrated North American NEMA 1 plug and 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC jack create a simple plug-and-play connection without electrical wiring.
- 12V DC, 96W, 8A output for LED strips and 12V devices
- UL Listed with short-circuit and over-current protection
- 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC jack, approx. 1.2 m (4 ft) output cable
- Indoor-rated IP30 housing with 3-year warranty
Internally, the power supply is optimized for efficiency (up to 86%) and consistent voltage, helping LED strips maintain brightness and color over time. It is compatible with 12V single-color LED strips, RGB controllers, and many low-voltage electronics such as CCTV cameras, mini amplifiers, and network devices, as long as the total load does not exceed 96W.
Unlike generic wall adapters, this unit is UL Listed and purpose-sized for LED strip installations, making it suitable for professional projects where safety certification and reliability are important. When paired with a compatible 12V PWM dimmer on the low-voltage side, it also supports dimming of 12V single-color LED strips.
This 12V 96W power supply is a practical choice for homeowners, integrators, and facility managers who need a compact, plug-in solution to power indoor 12V LED lighting or small electronic systems.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Q: What is the HitLights 12V power supply 96W used for?
A: It is a plug-in UL-listed adapter that converts 100–240V AC to 12V DC at up to 96W. It powers 12V LED strip lights, LED controllers, and other compatible 12V low-voltage devices that stay within the 8A current rating.
Q: Who is this 96W 12V power supply designed for?
A: It is designed for homeowners, installers, and integrators needing a reliable indoor power source for 12V LED strip lighting and small electronics. Typical applications include under-cabinet lighting, cove and accent lighting, retail displays, and small 12V equipment.
Q: How does this power supply connect to LED strips or devices?
A: The unit plugs into a standard North American wall outlet using its NEMA 1 AC plug, and the low-voltage side uses a 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC jack. LED strips or controllers connect via matching DC barrel connectors, enabling simple plug-and-play installation without exposed wiring.
Q: What are the main technical specifications of this adapter?
A: Input is 100–240V AC, 47–63 Hz, and output is 12V DC at up to 8A (96W) through a 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC jack. The unit offers approximately 86% efficiency, is rated IP30 for indoor use, and includes short circuit and over-current protection with a 3-year warranty.
Q: How does this compare to generic non-certified adapters?
A: Unlike many generic adapters, this model is UL Listed and specifically sized for common LED strip loads up to 96W. The certification, built-in protection features, and published specifications make it more suitable for permanent lighting and professional installations than unlisted alternatives.
Q: What exactly comes with this 12V power supply?
A: The product consists of a single integrated 12V 96W plug-in power supply with attached AC plug and DC output cable. No additional splitters or LED strips are included, so any accessories or lights are selected separately based on the project requirements.
Q: Can this power supply be used outdoors or in damp locations?
A: No, this power supply is rated IP30 for indoor use only and should be kept away from moisture. For outdoor projects, a power supply specifically rated for wet or damp locations is required to maintain safety and product performance.
