12V 6A 72W Power Supply Adapter ETL Listed 100-240V AC to 12V DC Converter Class 2 Power Supply, 5.5x2.1mm Jack for Low Voltage LED Strip Lights, CCTV, Router, Electronics

I bought this unit to power Pautix strip lights but it wouldn't turn the lights on. I thought this power supply was defective and wrote a 1 star review. I soon thereafter received an email from the company very politely suggesting that there is nothing wrong with the power supply. Rather, the email gently continued that the Pautix lights require a 24V supply and this unit provided 12V. In brief, they told me the power supply is not compatible with the lights so of course it wouldn't turn them on. Boy, am I embarrassed. There is nothing wrong with the power supply. It probably works just fine with something that requires 12V. But it obviously will not power a 24V item. It was never designed to do that. So I apologize to this company and thank them for their gentle and polite email. They would have been absolutely justified in sending an email that said "Hey, stupid. The problem is operator error. Our power supply is 12V and you're trying to run a 24V item. Does that give you any clue as to why it doesn't work?" But they didn't. So, again, I thank them.

Works just as expected

Nice lights but no dimmer

This 12 Volt 6 Amp power supply is well constructed. All CE and FCC certifications needed for safe operation in your home are listed on the device (this is not something to assume). The AC cord has a large gauge rubber surround with a 3-Pin grounded plug. The output line to the DC plug includes an inductor type high frequency line noise filter (see the cylindrical device on the attached photo of the 12 volt DC plug photo) . The LED "ON" indicator is a great way to remind you that your system has power, or if it is not security related, to unplug it while away for extended times if you care to. Notice the attached photos.

Just exactly what was needed. update to my review. Power supply failed 8-8-21. Customer support was great. They have a new one on the way. Thanks

Doesn't power the BTF-LIGHTING FCOB WS2811 IC that BTF claims it does. Complete junk.

Performs as expected. Used with LED strips.

updated - BTF-LIGHTING was very helpful in attempting to resolve my issue of the whine during dimming. First off, I'd like to say that the whine may not be noticeable to many people. It is fairly high pitched and only audible in a quiet room. BTF-LIGHTING provided a replacement 10A power supply. This supply performed better than the 6A supply, but still made some noise. I also had a 12V 30A supply on my shelf and tested with that. Surprisingly, it ALSO made noise, so the issue is NOT unique to BTF-LIGHTING power supplies, it is more common. In my case, I intend to locate the supply inside a cabinet that will dampen then sound and effectively eliminate the issue. This is not a BTF-LIGHTING power supply issue, it is a common issue. I appreciate BTF-LIGHTINGs assistance in helping to resolve the issue and quickly responding and addressing my issue. I will definitely continue to use BTF-LIGHTING equipment and recommend it to others. original -- When the output is off, or at max power, there is no sound, but when the power is in the middle, the supply generates a very annoying whine sound that varies in loudness depending on load.
