WHAT STANDS OUT: Outdoor-Rated, Waterproof: IP67 waterproof and NEMA 3R housing make this 12V 60W driver suitable for wet and damp locations like decks, patios, and outdoor coves. Installer-Friendly Knockout Enclosure: Integrated knockouts and bare-wire terminations let all high- and low-voltage connections stay inside the metal housing for a cleaner, safer, junction-box-style installation. Smooth Wall-Switch Dimming: MLV TRIAC dimming delivers 0–100% control with many Lutron and Leviton dimmers, supporting flicker-reduced, stable dimming for single-color 12V LED strip lights. PRODUCT DETAILS: This 12V LED Dimmable Driver 60W Knockout Waterproof unit is an electronic, UL Listed, Class 2 power supply for single-color 12V LED strip lighting that needs reliable wall-switch dimming. It takes 120VAC input and converts it to a regulated 12V DC output at up to 60 watts (5 amps), giving more capacity for longer or higher-wattage runs. Built on the HitLights EK-Series platform, the driver offers a high power factor of around 0.95 and roughly 90% efficiency to reduce wasted energy and heat. The metal enclosure is rated NEMA 3R for dry and damp locations and carries an IP67 waterproof rating, so it can be mounted in many outdoor or semi-exposed environments when installed correctly. MLV TRIAC phase-cut dimming allows a 0–100% dimming range when paired with compatible wall dimmers from major brands, including many common Lutron and Leviton models listed on the compatibility sheet. Integrated over-voltage and short-circuit auto-reset protection helps safeguard both the driver and connected LED strips. Key technical details include a compact 32 × 172 × 68 mm (1.26 × 6.77 × 2.67 in) housing, bare-wire input/output leads, and internal knockouts so all terminations remain within the enclosure. The driver is assembled in the USA and backed by a six-year warranty, making it well-suited to professional low-voltage lighting projects in residential and light commercial settings. 120VAC input, 12V DC output, 60W (5A), Class 2 low-voltage circuit IP67 waterproof, NEMA 3R metal enclosure for dry, damp, and outdoor use MLV TRIAC dimming, 0–100% range with many Lutron and Leviton dimmers Over-voltage and short-circuit auto-reset protection, 6-year warranty WHAT'S INCLUDED: 1 × HitLights EK-Series 12V 60W Waterproof Dimmable LED Driver, knockout housing, UL Listed, Class 2, IP67 rated FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: What is this 12V 60W knockout dimmable driver used for?A: It is an electronic dimmable LED driver that converts 120VAC to regulated 12V DC at up to 60 watts (5 amps) for single-color 12V LED strip lights. It is intended for permanent installations such as under-cabinet runs, shelving, coves, and outdoor accent or landscape lighting where wall-switch dimming is required. Q: Who is this waterproof 60W driver designed for?A: This driver is aimed at electricians, low-voltage contractors, integrators, and advanced DIY users who need a UL-listed, Class 2, outdoor-rated power supply. Its IP67 waterproof rating and NEMA 3R enclosure support code-compliant use in damp or wet locations, including decks, patios, and other exterior lighting projects. Q: How does this driver work with a wall dimmer switch?A: The driver connects to 120VAC through a compatible MLV TRIAC wall dimmer and outputs a dimmed 12V DC signal to the LED strip. It supports a 0–100% dimming range and works with many Lutron and Leviton dimmers, such as Diva, Ariadni, Skylark, and comparable models listed in the compatibility sheet. Q: What are the key electrical and environmental specifications?A: Input voltage is 120VAC (108–132VAC), 50/60 Hz, and output is 12V DC at 60W (5A) with a power factor of about 0.95 and approximately 90% efficiency. The housing is NEMA 3R for dry and damp locations, carries an IP67 waterproof rating for outdoor use, and is UL Listed as a Class 2 power unit. Q: Can this dimmable driver be used outdoors?A: Yes. The driver is rated IP67 and housed in a NEMA 3R metal enclosure, so it can be used outdoors or in wet locations when mounted and wired according to guidelines. It is commonly used for outdoor LED strip lighting on decks, patios, and similar applications. Q: What types of LED strips and dimmers are compatible?A: The driver is designed for single-color 12V LED strip lights and is not intended for RGB or multi-channel strips, which require an RGB controller. It works with many MLV TRIAC wall dimmers from Lutron and Leviton, including several lines such as Ariadni, Diva, Mural, and others noted in the compatibility documentation. Q: How do I wire this driver to my LED strip lights?A: Connect the black input lead to the line (hot), the white to the neutral, and the green to the ground. On the low-voltage side, connect the red output wire to the positive lead of the LED strip and the blue wire to the negative lead, keeping all connections inside the knockout enclosure for a safe installation.
