A plug-and-play power supply
This plug-in LED driver belongs to a family of non-dimmable plug-in drivers designed for flexibility and speed. Instead of wiring a driver into a junction box, you simply plug it into a standard 120V outlet, which makes it ideal for renters, for temporary setups and for anyone who wants to add accent lighting without opening a wall. At 12W, it covers small projects where a larger driver would be oversized. It is also a practical way to test an LED strip layout before committing to a permanent installation.
Matching the power supply to your LEDs
Add up the wattage of the LED strip or pucks you plan to connect and make sure the total stays below the 12W rating of the LCPS12V-12W-PLUGIN, leaving some headroom rather than running the driver at its limit. The output voltage of the supply must match the voltage of your LED products: check the marking on the unit and on your LED strip before connecting. If your project grows, move up to a higher-wattage model from the same family instead of chaining several small supplies together.
Installation and control
Because this driver is non-dimmable, it should not be connected to a dimmer; control it with a switch on the LED side, a switched outlet or a plug-in timer instead. A timer is a great way to switch display lighting on at the same time every evening. Keep the power supply in a dry, ventilated spot, away from heat sources, and route the low-voltage cable neatly along cabinets or shelves with clips. For mobile installations, such as a trade-show booth or a pop-up shop, the plug-in format lets you set up, take down and move your lighting in minutes.

Applications and documentation
Use it to power an under-cabinet LED strip in a condo kitchen, LED pucks inside a curio cabinet, backlighting behind the TV in a basement family room, or a seasonal display in a storefront window. The spec sheet for the plug-in driver family is available in the Documentation tab of this page; as always, confirm the voltage marking on your unit before connecting your LEDs. When the project ends, simply unplug it and reuse it elsewhere.
