To me, what they are saying is that people use this power supply to feed their LED drivers. You still need current limiting for your LED's, either a current-limiting resistor, or a constant current LED driver. | |

"Suitable for LED related fixture or appliance (such as LED Decoration or Advertisement devices) (Note. 11)" #2. "Note 11: This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU. (In the EU the LPF/NPF/XLG series are recommended.)" #3. "Constant voltage design" #4. "Protections: Short circuit / Over load / Over voltage" #5. "Fully encapsulated with IP67 level (Note. 7)" #6. Note 7: "Suitable for indoor use or outdoor use without direct sunlight exposure. Please avoid immerse in the water over 30 minute." | |
