BEMKO B42-LDW100 Hermetic LED Power Supply 100W 12V IP68

The BEMKO B42-LDW100 is a professional-grade hermetic LED power supply engineered to provide a stable 12V DC output with a total power capacity of 100W. Designed for durability and performance, this unit features an IP68 ingress protection rating, ensuring it is completely dust-tight and capable of withstanding prolonged immersion in water. This makes it a robust solution for demanding lighting projects where environmental conditions are challenging.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this power supply is its high level of environmental sealing, which allows for installation in areas exposed to rain, humidity, or even temporary submersion. By providing a consistent and regulated 12V output, it helps maintain the longevity and color consistency of connected LED strips and modules. Its compact and sealed design eliminates the need for additional protective enclosures in many outdoor applications, simplifying the installation process while ensuring reliable operation over time.

Suitable for

• Outdoor LED strip lighting installations
• Architectural facade illumination
• Lighting in wet environments such as fountains or pools
• Garden and landscape lighting systems
• Signage and advertising displays exposed to weather

When it may not be suitable

This power supply may not be suitable for indoor applications where space is extremely limited, as its hermetic casing is larger than standard non-waterproof drivers. Additionally, it is not intended for use in environments where the ambient temperature exceeds the manufacturer's specified operating range, as this could lead to thermal shutdown or reduced lifespan.

Key specifications

• Output voltage: 12V DC
• Power rating: 100W
• Ingress protection: IP68
• Application: Outdoor and wet environments
• Design: Hermetic, fully sealed

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure all electrical connections are properly sealed and protected. Connect the input side to the AC mains supply according to local electrical codes, ensuring the correct polarity. Connect the output side to your 12V LED lighting system, maintaining correct polarity to prevent damage to the LEDs. Ensure that the total power draw of the connected LED load does not exceed the 100W capacity of the power supply to prevent overloading.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the total wattage of your LED system to ensure it does not exceed 100W
• Confirm that the 12V DC output matches the requirements of your LED strips
• Ensure the installation location allows for adequate heat dissipation despite the IP68 rating
• Check that all cable connections are made using waterproof connectors to maintain the IP68 integrity

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to operate the power supply at approximately 80% of its maximum rated load. Always ensure that the unit is installed in a position that allows for natural airflow, even if it is waterproof, to prevent excessive heat buildup during extended periods of operation.
