Mean Well LRS-200-48: 48V power supply with 211.2W and 4.4A for LED strips and industrial use
The Mean Well LRS-200-48 is an enclosed 48V switching power supply (constant voltage) with 211.2 W power and an output current of up to 4.4 A. It is ideal for 48V LED strips and long LED installations, for 48V track and linear systems, as well as for industrial applications in control cabinets. Thanks to the 48V, only a low current flows, so that even long cable runs are possible without noticeable voltage drop.
With a typical efficiency of 90%, the power supply operates very efficiently and reliably protects your installation against short circuits, overloads, overvoltage, and overtemperature. The output voltage can be fine-tuned via a potentiometer, and the input voltage is set to 230 V (Europe) or 115 V via a selector switch. Cooling is passive, so the power supply operates completely silently. As a branded power supply from the proven LRS series, it offers a very long service life and a 3-year manufacturer's warranty.

Frequently asked questions about the Mean Well LRS-200-48
How many meters of 48V LED strip can I power with the LRS-200-48?
The LRS-200-48 delivers 211.2 W. With a 20% power reserve, around 169 W is available for your LEDs. This is enough for about 16.9 m of LED strip with 10 W/m or about 8.4 m with 20 W/m, for example our 48V LED strip with 20 W/m. For economical strips like the 48V LED strip with 8.8 W/m, it is correspondingly more.
What are the advantages of a 48V system compared to 12V or 24V?
At the same power, 48 V uses only half the current of 24 V and a quarter of the current of 12 V. This means that the voltage drops significantly less over long distances. 48V LED strips can therefore often be operated in lengths of 10 to 20 meters with only one power supply, without the brightness decreasing at the end. Thinner supply cables are also sufficient.
What do I need to consider with the voltage selector switch?
The LRS-200-48 has a selector switch for 115 V or 230 V input voltage. For operation on the German and European power grid, the switch must be set to 230 V before the first switch-on. An incorrect setting can damage the power supply.
Can I adjust the output voltage?
Yes. The voltage can be adjusted from 43.2 to 52.8 V via the potentiometer next to the terminals. For LED strips, the voltage should remain at 48 V. Only adjust it with a measuring device and never exceed the rated voltage of your devices.
Is the LRS-200-48 dimmable?
No. It is a constant voltage power supply without its own dimming function. To dim it, combine it with a 48V-compatible LED controller, such as our RF LED controller for 12 to 48 V or the DALI LED controller for 12 to 48 V.
Is the power supply suitable for outdoor use?
No. With protection rating IP20, it is intended for dry indoor spaces, control cabinets, ventilated suspended ceilings, or technical rooms. For damp areas, you need a power supply with IP67.
Why a Mean Well power supply?
Mean Well is one of the world's leading manufacturers of switching power supplies. The LRS series is a proven industrial standard with a long service life, safety tested according to IEC/EN/UL 62368-1, low residual ripple, and a 3-year manufacturer's warranty.
Mean Well LRS 48V Series at a Glance
All 48V power supplies in the LRS series have a height of only 30 mm and thus also fit into shallow installation spaces.
