LED Power Supplies for Landscape Lighting Applications
Constant-voltage LED power supplies for gardens, pathways, facades, bridges, guardrails and architectural landscape lighting. The current promoted portfolio centers on 12V / 24V outdoor systems, with selected 36V / 48V high-current options, IP67 / IP68 protection, Class 2 configurations and multiple dimming paths.
What Power Supply Is Used for Landscape Lighting?
For Fahold’s current landscape portfolio, constant-voltage power supplies are the primary solution for 12V and 24V systems, with selected L3 models extending to 36V and 48V. L2-F is suited to waterproof dimmable installations, L2D to North American Class 2 phase-cut projects, and L3 to high-current single-output applications. Constant-current luminaires should be evaluated separately.

L2D Class 2 Landscape Power Supply Series →Common Power Challenges in Landscape Lighting
Landscape systems combine long feeders, multiple zones, outdoor exposure and mixed constant-voltage or constant-current loads.
Long-Distance Voltage Drop
Centralized power supplies and dispersed fixtures can create significant feeder voltage loss.
High Current at Low Voltage
12V systems require higher current, larger conductors and stronger branch connections.
Moisture & Condensation
Power supply IP rating alone is not enough; junction boxes, cable exits and drainage matter.
Lightning & Switching Surge
Outdoor cable networks and public distribution increase induced surge exposure.
Distributed Zones
Separate zones simplify control, maintenance, fault isolation and future expansion.
Mixed CV and CC Fixtures
Strips, guardrail lights, floodlights and spotlights may require different power-supply or driver architectures.

Landscape Lighting Power Supply Sizing Calculator
Estimate constant-voltage zone load, current and feeder voltage drop. Automatic product-series recommendations are intentionally disabled pending engineering review.
24V Garden Pathway Power-Supply Example
A practical example shows how to estimate constant-voltage load, minimum power supply capacity and zone current before choosing between L2-F, L2D or L3 by project conditions.
A minimum 240W constant-voltage capacity is indicated by the load calculation. Series selection is not automatic: wet-location dimming, Class 2 requirements, system voltage and cable distance must be reviewed before choosing the actual power supply model.

Which Fahold series are currently promoted for landscape lighting?
The current promoted landscape set is L3, L2-F and L2D. L3 is the high-current isolated constant-voltage platform, L2-F is the waterproof dimmable 12V / 24V platform, and L2D is the North American Class 2 phase-cut platform.
What output voltages are available for landscape lighting?
L2-F and L2D focus on 12V and 24V constant-voltage systems. L3 includes 12V and 24V models plus selected 36V and 48V options.
Which series is suitable for wet-location landscape lighting?
L2-F is IP67 and intended for damp and wet locations. L3 includes IP67 / IP68 high-protection options. L2D is intended for dry and damp locations rather than exposed wet installations.
Which series is best for North American Class 2 landscape projects?
L2D is a 100–120Vac Class 2 constant-voltage platform for 12V / 24V loads with TRIAC / ELV / MLV dimming. Final use still depends on the project wiring and fixture requirements.
Which landscape lighting power supply supports dimming?
L2-F supports TRIAC, ELV, MLV, 0–10V, PWM and potentiometer control. L2D supports TRIAC / ELV / MLV phase-cut dimming. L3 is a non-dimming platform.
Which series should I consider for high-power or high-current landscape loads?
L3 is the primary current promoted direction for single-output high-current landscape systems, with a catalogue power range up to 1000W and selected 12V / 24V / 36V / 48V models.
Why is voltage drop important in low-voltage landscape lighting?
Long cable runs create resistance and reduce the voltage delivered to remote fixtures. Check conductor size, current, branch distance, feed method, connectors and splices before finalizing the power supply.
What information should I send for a landscape LED power supply recommendation?
Send system voltage, fixture or load power, quantity, total current, zone count, longest cable distance, dimming method, dry/damp/wet installation condition, Class 2 requirement, junction-box requirement and target market.
