Which IP class of LED power supply should I select?

The most crucial criterion in which LED power supply to select is the waterproof class, which is defined by IP (International Protection Rating). It determines the water resistance of the power supply.

 

 

LED power supplies with IP20 protection rating are non-waterproof power supplies, which means they are not suitable for places with moisture. The most popular here are MS S LRS  Series power supplies for the main installation. The right area for installing such power supplies is, for example, a living room or bedroom.

 

Furniture power supplies serve us for all lighting systems in furniture (for example, kitchen furniture). They are so small that we can easily hide them from our eyes.

 

Power supplies for furniture lighting installation

If the lighting is installed in a place exposed to moisture and water level, it is recommended to use a power supply with a higher protection class – waterproof. All waterproof series power supplies have this feature.

 

 

They have sealed hermetic housing and IP67 protection. They are therefore suitable for use in bathrooms or kitchens, for example. These power supplies are smaller than those in the LPV series. So if you have little space to hide them, you should use an LPVE series model.

 

The installation location of the power supply determines the type of power supply we need. We have a choice of power supplies:

plug-in,

hermetic,

furniture,

modular,

ultra-slim,

DIN rail

for installation in a box.
