EMCOD MLE80-12DC Triac Dimmable Electronic LED Driver 80W 12VDC Class 2

Product Overview

The EMCOD MLE80-12DC is a constant-voltage electronic LED driver designed for 12V DC low-voltage LED lighting. It delivers up to 80W and supports triac phase dimming for compatible forward and reverse-phase dimmers.

Built with PWM constant-voltage output and built-in protections, this Class 2 driver is intended for LED tape, cabinet, and linear low-voltage LED fixtures in residential and commercial installations.

Key Features

• 80W maximum load, 12V DC constant-voltage output
• Triac phase dimming compatible with forward and reverse phase dimmers
• PWM output for flicker-free dimming
• Protection: overload, short-circuit, and thermal
• 5% minimum load requirement
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +60°C
• Class 2 designation

What this driver does

The MLE80-12DC is a constant-voltage electronic LED driver that supplies 12V DC to low-voltage LED loads up to 80 watts. It is designed to power LED tape and other 12V linear LED fixtures where a stable constant-voltage source is required.

The unit carries a Class 2 designation, indicating it meets the low-voltage Class 2 output classification for applicable installations.

• Output: 12V DC constant-voltage (PWM)
• Maximum load: 80W

Dimming and control compatibility

This driver supports triac phase dimming and is compatible with both forward-phase and reverse-phase (leading and trailing edge) triac dimmers. Dimming is implemented via PWM to provide flicker-free dimming behavior when used with compatible controls.

The driver requires a minimum load of 5% for proper dimming performance.

• Triac phase dimming: forward and reverse phase
• Flicker-free PWM dimming support
• Minimum load: 5% of maximum

Performance, protection, and operating conditions

The driver includes overload, short-circuit, and thermal protection to help safeguard connected LED loads and the driver itself. These protections help prevent damage in fault conditions but do not replace proper system design and circuit protection.

Operating temperature range is specified from -40°C to +60°C; confirm installation environment falls within this range.

• Protections: overload, short-circuit, thermal
• Operating temperature: -40°C to +60°C

Dimensions and physical details

Suitable applications

The MLE80-12DC is appropriate for a variety of low-voltage LED applications that require a 12V DC constant-voltage supply and dimming capability. Typical uses include LED tape lighting, cabinet lighting, and linear LED fixtures in residential and commercial settings.

Confirm fixture and system compatibility before specifying, particularly for dimmer pairing and load calculations.

• LED tape lighting
• Cabinet and under-cabinet lighting
• Linear and architectural low-voltage LED fixtures

Before You Order

Confirm the model number and quantity required before ordering. Verify dimmer compatibility and total load calculations for multiple fixtures when planning installations.

• Verify your dimmer is a compatible triac forward- or reverse-phase control.
• Confirm total connected LED wattage does not exceed 80W per driver.
• Ensure installation location meets the driver’s operating temperature range and applicable electrical codes.
