American Lighting MICRO-DR Series LED Transformer — Dimmable | 12V & 24V DC | 60W & 96W
The American Lighting MICRO-DR Series is a compact, Class 2 constant voltage LED electronic transformer designed for indoor lighting applications requiring dimmable, reliable power in an ultra-slim form factor. Available in 12V and 24V DC output at 60W and 96W, each MICRO-DR measures only 0.89 in. tall, making it ideal for installations with minimal depth requirements. Compatible with standard TRIAC (Leading Edge / Forward Phase), MLV, and ELV (Reverse Phase) dimmers, the MICRO-DR Series delivers smooth, flicker-free PWM dimming from 20–100% load. Input is 120V AC; Class 2, Type HL, FCC compliant, and cULus Listed with a damp location rating.
Key Features
- Wattage & Voltage Options: Available as MICRO-DR-60-12 (60W/12V), MICRO-DR-60-24 (60W/24V), and MICRO-DR-96-24 (96W/24V).
- Constant Voltage Output: Stable 12V or 24V DC output for consistent LED tape and strip lighting performance.
- Universal Dimmer Compatibility: Forward and reverse phase compatible — works with standard TRIAC (Leading Edge), MLV, and ELV dimmers.
- PWM Output: Smooth PWM dimming from 20–100% load for flicker-free performance.
- Ultra-Slim Design: Only 0.89 in. tall — micro aluminum housing designed for tight, space-constrained installations.
- Free Air Convection Cooling: Passive cooling design requires no fan for quiet, maintenance-free operation.
- Built-In Protection: Short circuit and overload protection for reliable long-term performance.
- Certifications: Class 2, Type HL, FCC compliant, cULus Listed, Damp location rated.
- 2-Year Limited Warranty: Backed by American Lighting’s 2-year limited warranty.
Physical Design & Installation
The MICRO-DR features a micro aluminum housing just 0.89 in. tall, purpose-built for installations where depth is limited — including under-cabinet, cove, millwork, and recessed channel applications. Free air convection cooling eliminates the need for any fan, keeping operation silent. The driver is hardwire only (no integrated junction box). Installation must be performed in accordance with national and local electrical codes by a qualified installer.
Dimming & Controls
The MICRO-DR Series is compatible with standard TRIAC (Leading Edge / Forward Phase), MLV, and ELV (Reverse Phase) dimmers — the same dimmers used with incandescent fixtures. PWM output enables smooth, consistent dimming from 20% to 100% load. A minimum load of 20% is required for proper dimming performance. Refer to the American Lighting compatibility list for recommended dimmers by SKU.
