1) buy from good manufacture like mean well (MW) beware of fake one. ![]() 2) check how many A (AMPERE) your device u are using and buy with higher Amp Example Your device using 10A total then u buy 15 A or more. I think your current device always blow due to below A or sort circuits Contoh : 10A but only give 5A for it. subaiku liked this post

your house voltage too high. china voltage is 220 only ours is 240 and above. get a wider voltage type example meanwell. can handle 260v but then again, your led how many watt/current? This post has been edited by fireballs: Jun 19 2025, 11:38 AM subaiku liked this post

QUOTE(subaiku @ Jun 19 2025, 10:41 AM) Can anyone recommended a better solution for me? This LED driver powers a strip light for my kitchen area. But every once in awhile it keeps blowing out. Don’t know how many times I’ve replaced this already. No detail on what is the requirement of your LED strip. How much power you LED strip require? |

Thanks for the input guys! Ok so I went to lighting shop and people there recommended a Meanwell driver. Cost RM60 (3x the china driver! But hey got 3 years warranty so ok lah) Gave me a 100w one because they said the 60w kept blowing because it’s not enough W. The (original) china one was there when my contractor did the lightning, so didn’t know any better Anyways, thanks guys! 🙏🏻 This post has been edited by subaiku: Jun 24 2025, 10:30 AM lj0000 liked this post
