Time:2025-10-24 Views:0

  I. Structural Design Suitable for LED Light Strips (Compact + Concealable + Durable)

  1. UL-Compliant Flame-Retardant Structure and Materials

  UL-Certified Flame-Retardant Housing:

  Made of UL94 V-0 flame-retardant ABS+PC composite material (wall thickness 2.2mm), it complies with UL 60950-1, the safety standard for information technology equipment. It has passed UL temperature rise testing (maximum housing temperature ≤ 45°C when operating at full load) and flame retardancy testing (self-extinguishing within 30 seconds after the evacuation of open flames), meeting North American fire safety requirements for homes and commercial spaces. The surface is sprayed with a matte non-slip coating (friction coefficient ≥ 0.5) to prevent slipping during installation while minimizing the industrial feel, allowing it to blend seamlessly into LED light strip decor (such as living rooms and display windows). Heat Dissipation and Quiet Design:

  It utilizes an "aluminum micro-heat sink + natural convection" heat dissipation structure (heat sink area ≥ 10cm²). The linear regulator (UL-certified LM7812) is directly bonded to the heat sink, ensuring continuous operation at 12V 2A at full load (24W) without overheating. Its fanless design (noise ≤ 8dB) makes it suitable for quiet LED ambient lighting scenarios such as bedrooms and studies, eliminating fan noise interference.

  2. LED Light Strip Installation Compatibility

  Compact and Concealable Size:

  The unit measures 75×40×30mm (L×W×H), with a volume of only 90cm³ (equivalent to the size of two ping-pong balls) and weighs ≤120g. It can be concealed directly in LED light strip mounting slots (such as ceiling light slots or baseboard recesses) or placed in a corner of a desktop without disrupting the decorative aesthetic. The unit's corners feature an R2 rounded design to prevent scratches on your hands or the light strip during installation. Light strip dedicated wiring and connectors:

  The standard 2.5-meter pure copper DC output cable (0.75 mm² diameter, flexible and easily bendable, can be hidden in conduit) features a standard 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC connector on one end (compatible with over 95% of LED light strip connectors, such as 5050 and 2835 models). The other end features a lock-on terminal design (with a pull force of ≥10N after inserting the adapter to prevent the light strip from pulling and causing a power outage). The input cable is a 1.2-meter UL-certified two-core power cord (compliant with UL 62 standard, with a UL-certified US-standard two-prong plug) that can be directly connected to the North American 110V AC power grid or the Chinese 220V AC power grid (wide voltage adaptability). II. Core Performance (UL Compliance + Stable Output Exclusively for LED Light Strips)

  1. UL Certified Core Safety Features

  UL 60950-1 Safety Compliance:

  Complies with North American UL 60950-1 standards, including safety requirements such as "Clearance ≥ 5mm, Creepage ≥ 6mm, and Insulation Resistance ≥ 100MΩ." It also passes UL leakage current testing (earth leakage current ≤ 50μA) and withstand voltage testing (withstands 1500V AC for 1 minute between input and output without breakdown), eliminating the risk of electric shock during LED light strip installation. A built-in UL-certified safety fuse (3A breaking current, response time ≤ 15ms) quickly disconnects the circuit in the event of an overload, protecting the light strip and adapter. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Compliant:

  Complies with UL EMC requirements (radiated interference ≤ 40dBμV/m, 30MHz-1GHz), preventing interference with home devices such as TVs and routers. A common-mode inductor in series with the input circuit reduces the impact of power line noise on the output, ensuring stable power supply to the LED strip and eliminating flickering due to electromagnetic interference. 2. 12V 2A Precision Output with Low Ripple and Anti-Flicker

  Power and Voltage Stability:

  The input is compatible with a wide voltage range of 100-240V AC (50/60Hz), adapting to global power grids, including North American 110V and Chinese 220V, without the need for adapter replacement. The output is 12V DC constant voltage + 2A constant current (rated power 24W), with a voltage accuracy of ±1% (output fluctuation ≤ 0.12V when the load varies from 0.5A to 2A). It can stably drive a single 5-meter 5050 LED strip (approximately 18W power) or two 3-meter 2835 strips (total power ≤ 24W), preventing uneven brightness caused by voltage fluctuations. Low ripple to prevent LED flicker:

  Utilizing a three-stage filtering (electrolytic capacitors + ceramic capacitors + LDO voltage regulation) design, the output ripple is ≤5mVp-p (well below the 10mVp-p threshold for LED light strip flicker), and the ripple rejection ratio is ≥70dB (at 50Hz/60Hz operating frequency). When driving LED light strips, the flicker frequency is measured to be ≥3125Hz (imperceptible to the human eye), meeting the "LED Lighting Product Flicker Requirements." This prevents visual fatigue caused by prolonged direct viewing, making it particularly suitable for long-term viewing environments such as children's rooms and bedrooms. 3. Long-Term Reliability of LED Light Strips

  Long-Life Components:

  Core components utilize UL-certified models: 105°C long-life electrolytic capacitors (lifespan ≥8,000 hours, twice that of ordinary capacitors), -55°C~150°C metal film resistors, and UL-certified linear voltage regulators. Under full load, the MTBF (mean time between failures) is ≥60,000 hours. This means the equivalent LED light strip, operating 12 hours daily, can provide stable operation for over 13 years, eliminating the need for frequent adapter replacements.

  Wide Operating Temperature and Environmental Compatibility:

  The operating temperature range is -15°C~50°C (covering winter balcony temperatures and summer window temperatures). Startup at -15°C without delay (avoiding slow startup in northern winter). It can operate continuously at full load for 72 hours at 50°C with an output voltage drift of ≤2%, eliminating issues such as capacitor bulging or brightness reduction. The humidity tolerance is 10%-90% (non-condensing), making it suitable for use in front of bathroom mirrors (requires a waterproof junction box). III. LED Light Strip Applications (Home + Commercial)

  1. Core Scenario: Home LED Decorative Lighting

  Living Room/Bedroom Ambiance Light Strip:

  This device drives a hidden 5050 LED light strip (5 meters, 18W) in the living room ceiling. Its compact 75×40mm size allows it to be concealed in a ceiling trough, and its 2.5-meter output cable is sufficient to extend from the outlet to the trough. Its low-ripple output ensures uniform, flicker-free illumination, creating a soft atmosphere at night without disturbing the family's rest. UL-certified for North American 110V power, it can be plugged directly into a wall outlet without the need for an additional transformer.

  Bedroom/Children's Room Bedside Light Strip:

  This device is compatible with 2835 low-voltage LED flexible light strips (3 meters, 8W). Its fanless and silent design prevents sleep disruption, and its 12V low-voltage output ensures child safety (even if the light strip is damaged, there is no risk of electric shock). The adapter can be concealed behind the bedside back with double-sided tape, and the output cable is routed along the baseboard to maintain the aesthetics of the wall.

  2. Extended Application: Commercial LED Lighting

  Window/Counter Decorative Light Strip:

  Drives RGB LED strips (4 meters, 20W) in commercial windows. The 12V 2A power reserve can simultaneously power the strip and a small controller (power ≤ 4W). UL certified, it meets shopping mall fire safety requirements. The wide-voltage input adapts to the mall's 110V/220V power grid. The case temperature remains ≤45°C during full load operation, preventing overheating in the sealed environment of the window. The 2.5-meter cable allows the strip to be routed along the edge of the window, creating a three-dimensional lighting effect.

  Office/Store Wall Light Strip:

  This single-color LED rigid light strip is suitable for office wall applications (6 meters, 24W, connected in two parallel sections). Voltage accuracy of ±1% ensures consistent brightness between the two sections, eliminating noticeable differences in brightness. The adapter can be wall-mounted in the corner of the wall (two Φ3mm mounting holes are reserved). The input cable is hidden through a cable trough, maintaining a clean office environment. The low-ripple output prevents flickering that can disrupt work concentration. IV. Maintenance and UL-rated Assurance

  1. Low-Maintenance Design (Suitable for Long-Term LED Use)

  Status Visualization and Easy Troubleshooting:

  Equipped with a single-color LED indicator (green = normal output, off = fault/no power), the power supply status can be quickly determined without a multimeter (e.g., if the light strip doesn't light up, first check whether the adapter indicator is functioning properly). The housing is clearly labeled with the "UL Certification Mark," 12V 2A rating, and input and output polarity to prevent wiring errors during installation (e.g., reverse polarity connection, which can damage the light strip).

  Zero Consumable Maintenance:

  With no fans or wearing parts, the housing's heat dissipation vents only require wiping with a dry cloth every six months to prevent dust accumulation that could affect heat dissipation, resulting in near-zero annual maintenance costs. Adapting to the "install once, run long-term" design of LED light strips reduces maintenance effort in commercial spaces. 2. UL Compliance and After-Sales Support
