GLP GV6 LED Transformer 100W 24V

GLP-GV6 LED transformer 100W 24V – metal-bodied and durable power supply for LED strips

The GLP-GV6 LED transformer 100W 24V is a high-quality metal-bodied power supply designed for more demanding 24 volt LED strip and LED lighting installations. The metal housing improves heat dissipation and makes the transformer longer-lasting and more reliable compared to lighter plastic-bodied alternatives.

This transformer is an excellent choice when you want a professional solution that can withstand continuous use and load. The 100 watts of power is more than enough for medium-sized LED strip installations, multiple parallel LED strips or more powerful LED strips.

Typical applications:

• LED lighting for kitchens and furniture
• indirect lighting in living rooms and offices
• display cases, shelves and store lighting
• project installations and professional use
• applications where better thermal management is desired than in plastic-bodied transformers

Key benefits

• Metal body improves heat dissipation and lifespan
• Stable 24V DC output for LED strips
• Suitable for continuous use and professional applications
• High efficiency and quiet operation
• Comprehensive protections for safe use

Compatibility

• 24V LED strips
• 24V LED modules
• RF and PWM receivers in 24V systems
• LED dimmer receivers (24V)
• Recommendation: load the transformer no more than ~70–80% to ensure longevity.

Difference from the plastic-bodied 100W VSP model

• Metal body: better heat management
• Longer lasting: suitable for continuous use
• A more professional solution for projects
• The plastic-bodied VSP 100W is suitable for lighter indoor installations

Dimming LEDs

This transformer cannot be dimmed, but you can install an LED dimmer between the transformer and the light source as normal . This transformer does not whine, which means this transformer is silent even with dimmers. Many LED transformers have a slight whine when using an LED dimmer. The whine occurs when the light output is about 80% and it is an annoying sound if you have a sensitive ear. This transformer is quiet.

Advantages: safe, quality at a reasonable price, worry-free

According to the technical specifications of this LED transformer, it is not intended to be used in so-called no-load mode, i.e. without load.

LED transformer installation

This LED transformer is suitable for 24 V DC LED strips, for example. The power is enough for about 10 meters of COB CC 8.6W LED strip, for example . Regarding safety, there is overheating protection, short circuit protection, overvoltage protection and overload protection . Of these, short circuit and overload protection work on the power cut principle. This means that in a problem situation, the LED transformer starts to cut off the power and it makes the lights flicker. The power cut continues until the fault is removed. Overheating protection and overvoltage protection cut off the power from the 24 volt side –> the lights go out. The lights can be turned on by turning the power back on after the transformer has cooled down and/or the overload has been removed.

The protections also work in a similar way in other high-quality LED transformers. The transformer cools itself with the air that circulates around it, so install it in a place where warm air can mix with the surrounding air. It is therefore not a good idea to place the transformer in a sealed enclosure where the air cannot circulate. A good place in the kitchen is, for example, on top of the upper cabinets.

Sufficient LED transformer power

The maximum power of this LED transformer is a comfortable 100 watts and the operating voltage is 24 volts. When you are thinking about a suitable transformer for an LED installation, it is worth taking a slightly more powerful LED transformer than what the maximum load will be . We have a good blog post about choosing LED transformers and their powers and it can be found here . The power of this transformer is enough for about 80% load, for example:

Max approx. 20 meters for 4.5W COB LED strip
Max approx. 10 meters for 8.6W COB CCT LED strip
Max approx. 6.5 meters for 12W Premium COB LED strip

As you can see from the quantities, typically this powerful LED transformers are used for LED strip installations. You can have LED strips of different powers behind one transformer. For example, you can have this 100W LED transformer and 2 or 3 1x8A wireless receivers and then LED strip groups no. 1, no. 2 and no. 3. This way you can make 3 groups. You don’t necessarily need separate transformers.

Other information:

• Splash-proof LED transformer
• Passive cooling (no fan)
• Built-in active PFC
• Conductors on the supply and secondary side
• Regarding safety, there is overload protection, short circuit protection, overvoltage protection, overheating protection (i.e. everything that can be)
• Can be connected to constant current
• Suitable for dry rooms, damp rooms and wet rooms
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor LED installations

Dimensions and connection instructions:

The general safety distance for LED transformers to surrounding materials is 25 mm above and to the sides. When considering where to install the transformer, make sure there is enough space around it. A transformer with this power will heat up if there is a lot of load. Install the transformer in a place where the transformer has room to cool down and where you can access it if necessary. If there is a place for the transformer, for example near a maintenance hatch, then checking it is an easy task.

You can add a plug to this transformer if needed. Plugs can be found in our LED connectors product group .
