Mean Well LRS-350-5: 5V Power Supply with 300W and 60A for LED Strips and Electronics
The Mean Well LRS-350-5 is an enclosed 5V switching power supply (constant voltage) with 300 W power and up to 60 A output current. It is particularly suitable for addressable 5V LED strips such as WS2812B and SK6812, for LED pixels, matrices and displays, as well as for microcontroller projects with ESP32, Arduino or Raspberry Pi. With its power, it is ideal for large installations.
The power supply operates with a typical efficiency of 83.5% and reliably protects your installation against short circuits, overloads, overvoltage and overtemperature. The output voltage can be finely adjusted from 4.5 to 5.5 V via a potentiometer to compensate for voltage drops on the supply line. The input voltage is set to 230 V (Europe) or 115 V via a selector switch. A temperature-controlled fan ensures safe temperatures even at full load and usually remains off at partial load. 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-350-5
How many LEDs can I power with the LRS-350-5?
The LRS-350-5 delivers up to 60 A. If you calculate around 60 mA per WS2812B LED at full white brightness and plan for a 20% reserve, it powers approximately 800 LEDs. This corresponds to around 13.3 m of LED strip with 60 LEDs/m. In everyday use with colors, effects, or dimmed brightness, the consumption is usually significantly lower.
Is the LRS-350-5 suitable for WS2812B, SK6812, and other addressable LED strips?
Yes. The power supply delivers a stable 5 V DC and is suitable for all 5V LED strips and pixels, for example WS2812B, SK6812, WS2811 (5V), APA102, SK9822, as well as 5V single-color strips. For control, you additionally need a suitable controller, such as a WLED controller or a microcontroller like ESP32 or Arduino.
Can I adjust the output voltage?
Yes. Via the potentiometer next to the terminals, the voltage can be adjusted from 4.5 to 5.5 V. This allows you to compensate for a slight voltage drop on the supply line. Set the voltage with a measuring device and try not to exceed 5.2 V at the LED strip.
What do I need to consider with the voltage selector switch?
The LRS-350-5 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.
Is the power supply loud?
The LRS-350-5 has a temperature-controlled fan. It only switches on at an internal temperature of around 50 °C and switches off again below around 40 °C. At partial load and with good ventilation, the power supply therefore often runs without fan noise.
How often do I need to inject power into 5V LED strips?
At 5 V, high currents flow, which is why the voltage drops faster on the strip than at 12 V or 24 V. As a rule of thumb, you should inject power into 5V LED strips again approximately every 2 to 3 meters and use sufficiently thick supply lines. This prevents color shifts towards red and uneven brightness.
Is the LRS-350-5 dimmable or waterproof?
No. It is a constant voltage power supply without a dimming function. Dimming is done via the LED controller on the output side. With a protection rating of IP20, the power supply is only intended for dry indoor spaces, control cabinets, or enclosures.
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 industry standard with a long service life, tested safety according to IEC/EN/UL 62368-1, low ripple, and a 3-year manufacturer's warranty. Especially for 5V projects with high currents, a power supply with a clean, stable output voltage pays off.
