The Armacost Lighting's 200-Watt, 12-Volt Standard LED Power Supply delivers stable and energy-efficient, low-voltage power to any LED lighting installation. The LED driver is designed using high-performance, professional grade electronics that provide stable and efficient low-voltage power. The power supply is rated up to 200-Watt at 12-Volt. No minimum load required. The power supply must be hardwired. Rated for both indoor and outdoor use. For best results use Armacost Lighting LED products.
Constant voltage LED power supply provides stable and high efficient power to LED lighting including: strip lights, tape lights, puck lights, linear bars and LED landscape lighting
Uses an integrated microprocessor to optimize LED dimming performance based on load
Automatic shut-off in case of lighting overload, open circuit, short circuit, over temperature or other fault
Class 2 power supply features overload protection, automatic shut-off
Limited 3-year warranty, failure to use this power supply for its intended purpose or improper installation will void the warranty
ETL listed, conforms to UL standard 1310, certified to Canada/CSA standard C22.2 No. 223-M91

This is an excellent, high quality transformer that is ideally suited to be hardwired into a 12 volt LED lighting system. It is designed to be installed inside an electrical junction box and offers dual 12 volt power outlets allowing the user to split the load evenly on expanded systems. I tested the transformer using a grounded three prong Leviton temporary plug and it shows a constant 12 volt power output. I am now using it to power an extended system of bollard LED pathway lights that each draw a max of 5 watts along with flood filler lights. The results are outstanding. Unlike many " weather resistant" transformers on the market, this one is "wet rated".

This transformer is commercial quality, built to last, should stand up to the most demanding conditions. At 200 watts with a dual tap and IP66 it will satisfy most residential if not commercial needs for this type of transformer. I soldered a plug onto the end of it, so I can simply plug it in to a smart plug and put it on a schedule to run my landscape lighting, motion lights or backyard flood lights, etc (all being 12 volt LED). With the advent of LED lighting the wattage has dropped tremendously, so this would be way more than adequate for almost any residential challenge. It's very heavy, so keep that in mind when sizing it to meet the requirement.

This is the ultimate 12v 200w 16.7A LED power supply. More than just a transformer, it does provide constant and stable 12 volts.
The power supply is thermally protected and has automatic shut-off should you overload it, or short circuit it. It is rated IP66 so you can put it out in the rain. Actually it is all encased in silicon under the aluminum heatsink cover, so being out in the rain could actually help with heat dissipation.
I was able to trigger the overload protection at about 250w, operating at the max 200W for 2 hours did not produce any humming or buzzing and heat output was barely noticeable with 74F on a 65F day. This is normal and expected from class 2 power supply like this one.
Eliminating loads from the circuit at even close to 200W did not produce any power drop or spike, nor drop in the input voltage due to hard draw appliances engaging translated to any drop in the output.
It seems that Aramcost did an outstanding job making the ultimate power supply to handle pretty much any lighting project that you start with it. At 3 year warranty it is the power supply to have for any lighting project.
The power supply also have integrated microprocessor for optimizing dimming based on load. This is meant to be used with y Armacost Lighting low voltage 12-volt DC LED dimmers, as standard AC 120V dimmers are not compatible with any LED power supply.
Installation is pretty straightforward, as long as you follow the safety guidelines in the detailed installation manual, cap off all connections and try not to run parallel 12v to 120v lines.
Cables are a little short in my opinion, close to 4-5 inches, I'd rather have them at least 6 inches, just for ease of use. Dimensions are 247 L x 94 W x 50mm H or 9-3/4" x 3-1/4" x 2" it is not a small power supply but it can well be hidden under a cabinet, within a soffit, or in the dead space behind a kickplate on a kitchen cupboard.
