American Lighting MICRO-DRJ Series LED Transformer — Dimmable | 12V & 24V DC | 60W & 96W | Integrated Junction Box

The American Lighting MICRO-DRJ Series is a compact, Class 2 constant voltage LED electronic transformer with an integrated junction box, designed for indoor lighting applications requiring dimmable, reliable power in a slim, code-compliant package. Available in 12V and 24V DC output at 60W and 96W, each MICRO-DRJ measures only 1.13 in. tall — slim enough for tight installations while adding the convenience of a built-in junction box for streamlined wiring. Compatible with standard TRIAC (Leading Edge / Forward Phase), MLV, and ELV (Reverse Phase) dimmers, the MICRO-DRJ 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-DRJ-60-12 (60W/12V), MICRO-DRJ-60-24 (60W/24V), and MICRO-DRJ-96-24 (96W/24V).
• Constant Voltage Output: Stable 12V or 24V DC output for consistent LED tape and strip lighting performance.
• Integrated Junction Box: Built-in junction box simplifies wiring and ensures clean, code-compliant field installation — no separate J-box required.
• 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.
• Slim Compact Design: Only 1.13 in. tall — aluminum housing designed for 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-DRJ features a slim aluminum housing just 1.13 in. tall with an integrated junction box, purpose-built for installations where depth is limited and clean wiring is essential — including under-cabinet, cove, millwork, and recessed channel applications. Free air convection cooling eliminates the need for any fan. Installation must be performed in accordance with national and local electrical codes by a qualified installer.

Dimming & Controls

The MICRO-DRJ 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.
