LED Power Supply – 12V 200W Weatherproof IP65

LED Power Supply 12V 200W Weatherproof IP65 Outdoor Driver

The 12V 200W IP65 weatherproof LED power supply is purpose-built for outdoor and semi-exposed lighting installations where the driver must withstand rain, dust, and temperature extremes without enclosure protection. Housed in a sealed aluminium profile with potting compound filling, this driver achieves IP65 protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it the preferred choice for contractors installing LED strip lighting, linear luminaires, and landscape fixtures in uncovered or partially sheltered locations.

With a 200-watt output at 12 volts DC, this driver bridges the gap between mid-range and high-capacity outdoor power solutions. It can serve substantial LED strip runs of up to 13 metres of high-density 15W/m strip or distribute power across multiple lower-wattage outdoor fixtures. The aluminium shell doubles as a passive heatsink, providing fanless cooling that eliminates a common mechanical failure point and ensures silent, maintenance-free operation over the driver’s rated lifespan.

BluxLED supplies this 12V 200W IP65 LED driver to lighting wholesalers and project contractors across Australia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. We offer competitive tiered value for volume purchases, OEM branding services, and custom cable or connector configurations. All units are tested at full load before dispatch and ship with CE, RoHS, and FCC documentation. Request a quotation for your next outdoor lighting project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between IP65 and IP67 for LED power supplies?

IP65 protects against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, while IP67 adds protection against temporary submersion in water (up to 1m for 30 minutes). For most outdoor installations where the driver is mounted above ground and not subject to flooding, IP65 provides adequate protection at a lower cost than IP67.

Can this 12V 200W IP65 driver be installed in fully enclosed spaces?

While the driver is sealed against dust and water, it generates heat during operation that dissipates through the aluminium shell. In fully enclosed spaces, ensure there is sufficient air volume or ventilation to prevent ambient temperature from exceeding 65°C. In tight roof cavities, consider mounting the driver where air circulation is available.

How many metres of 12V LED strip can this 200W power supply run?

This depends on the strip wattage. For a standard 14.4W/m high-density strip, one 12V 200W driver can power approximately 13 metres at full load. We recommend loading to 80% (160W) for continuous duty, which gives roughly 11 metres. For longer runs, use a distribution approach with multiple feed points or consider our higher-wattage 12V models.

Does this weatherproof LED driver support dimming?

Standard models of this 12V 200W IP65 driver are non-dimmable. Dimmable versions supporting 0-10V or PWM control are available for volume orders. If dimming is required for your project, specify this in your enquiry so we can quote the appropriate variant.

What cable entry method does this IP65 LED power supply use?

This driver features integrated cable gland entries for input and output connections. The glands accept standard cable diameters and provide the IP65 seal when properly tightened. We can supply units with pre-fitted pigtails or specific connector types for OEM orders.

Is this driver suitable for installation in Australian outdoor conditions?

Yes. The operating temperature range of -30°C to +65°C covers all Australian climate zones, including extreme inland summer conditions. The IP65 rating handles heavy rain and dust exposure common in tropical and arid regions. We supply many Australian lighting wholesalers with this model for outdoor commercial projects.

What is the warranty period for this 12V 200W weatherproof driver?

All units carry a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. For extended warranty options on large project orders, discuss terms with our sales team during the quotation stage.
