Engineered for professional LED lighting systems, the Malibu M5-180W-12V delivers exceptional performance and versatility for 12V applications. This Class 2 driver provides a constant 12V DC output at 180W, divided over three independent channels (60W each), ensuring precise control and energy-efficient operation. It supports advanced 5-in-1 dimming technologies—including TRIAC (both forward and reverse phase), 0-10V, 1-10V, Potentiometer, and 10V PWM dimming—to deliver smooth, flicker-free dimming for a wide range of lighting setups.

Encased in a rugged NEMA 4X-rated metal housing, the M5-180W-12V is built for reliable performance in wet, damp, and dry environments, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and architectural installations. Certified to UL, cUL, FCC, RoHS, and CE standards and backed by a 7-year warranty, it guarantees safe, long-term operation.
