What Is an LED Power Supply
An LED power supply, also known as an LED driver, is an essential device that provides the correct voltage and current required to operate LED lighting safely and efficiently. Since LEDs are low-voltage components that cannot be connected directly to standard household power, the power supply converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) at a stable, regulated level.
At MJF, we specialize in producing high-quality LED power supplies for different applications, including rainproof, waterproof, and indoor models. Our products deliver stable performance, long lifespan, and energy efficiency — the foundation for professional LED lighting systems.

1. The Function of an LED Power Supply
An LED power supply ensures that your LED lights receive a consistent flow of current and voltage, preventing damage caused by surges, fluctuations, or overheating.
Core Functions
Voltage Conversion
Converts high-voltage AC (e.g., 220V or 110V) into low-voltage DC (typically 12V or 24V) suitable for LEDs.Current Regulation
Provides constant current to prevent brightness flickering or LED burnout.Overload and Short-Circuit Protection
Built-in safety circuits protect the LED lighting system from electrical faults.Heat Management
Efficient design minimizes heat output and enhances performance stability.Energy Optimization
Maximizes energy efficiency, reducing electricity consumption over long-term operation.
2. Types of LED Power Supplies by MJF
At MJF, we provide a full range of LED power supply types designed for different environments and usage requirements.
| Type | Description | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Rainproof Power Supply (FI Series / GEM Series) | Designed for outdoor environments where the unit is exposed to rain or humidity, with basic moisture protection. | Outdoor signage, semi-covered lighting installations |
| Waterproof Power Supply (JI Series) | Fully sealed with high IP rating (IP67 or above), offering complete protection against water and dust. | Outdoor LED strips, landscape lighting, wet environments |
| Indoor Power Supply (GBH, HM, DI, DIA Series) | Compact, efficient, and designed for stable indoor operation. | Indoor LED displays, light boxes, architectural lighting |
MJF Note: Choosing the right protection level ensures both safety and durability of your LED lighting system.
3. How an LED Power Supply Works
An LED power supply performs two main functions: conversion and regulation.
Step 1: AC to DC Conversion
It converts the AC power from the main outlet into a DC output suitable for LEDs.
Most LED power supplies operate at 12V or 24V DC — the most common voltage for LED lighting systems.
Step 2: Constant Current or Constant Voltage Control
Depending on the LED configuration:
Constant Voltage (CV): Used when LEDs have built-in resistors or drivers (e.g., LED strips).
Constant Current (CC): Used for high-power LEDs that require a fixed current flow.
| Output Type | Voltage Range | Application Example |
|---|---|---|
| 12V DC | 11.8V–12.2V | LED strips, light boxes |
| 24V DC | 23.5V–24.5V | Architectural lighting, signage |
| 48V DC | 47–48V | Industrial or large-scale systems |

6. How to Choose the Right LED Power Supply
When selecting an LED power supply, several factors must be considered to ensure safety and performance.
1. Voltage Matching
Ensure the power supply voltage matches the LED system voltage (e.g., 12V strip → 12V power supply).
2. Wattage Reserve
Choose a power supply with at least 20–30% higher wattage than the total LED load to prevent overload.
Example: For a 100W LED setup, use a 120W–130W power supply.
3. Environment
Indoor: Use compact models like GBH / DI / DIA Series.
Outdoor: Choose rainproof or waterproof models (FI, GEM, JI Series) with proper IP ratings.
4. Dimming Functionality
If your LED system requires brightness control, select a dimmable power supply compatible with your dimmer or controller.
5. Certification
Always select certified power supplies with CE, RoHS, or ISO standards for guaranteed safety.
