Raymond W.: Product purchased: Hitlights 60w 12V 5A Power Transformer

Something to note beforehand. I have been buying other power transformers from other sellers here on amazon, All of them were not UL listed. Until
I almost had a fire from the last transformer I had bought from a "shall not be named" seller / manufacturer who's product would get very very hot during normal use etc.

Well this Hitlights transformer hasn't even gotten CLOSE to hot. At most it's been slightly more than room temperature. ZERO coil whine, Which is getting harder to find these days - Trust me I've bought enough of these things. I knew from the moment I picked it up that it was better quality simply from the weight of the device alone. Significantly heavier than the other "shant be named" brand but not a nuisance.

TL;DR: Good build quality, No coil whine, UL Listed (Double checked myself), Doesn't get unbearably hot.

Will post back if this unit ever has any issues as well as how the seller handles it. Might have to crack this baby open just to view its internals to compare it to the other one I've still got lying around. Though it'd be a shame to ruin the shell. :)

Duane A. Priest: I picked this up to go with a single strip of Hitlights I purchased to use as undercabinet lighting. This in a relatively inexpensive power supply that's sized to work with a single, standard 16.4 ft (5 meter) strip, and has a power connector that's specific to the Hitlights 300 LED strip.

My only possible complaint would be that the cord is rather short... about 24 inches. Fortunately that's long enough for my application, but I could see where that could be a problem in some installations, and that's why I removed a star from my rating.

I just purchased and installed the unit, so I have no feedback regarding it's life or durability at this point. If I experience any issues, I'll update this review accordingly.

NuclearCryptoHardwareGeek: Do you hate how dark it is inside your hall closet? I did, and I solved the problem by installing a Hitlights LS3528_WW_WP warm white LED strip all around the inside of the door frame, with this "transformer" plugged into the handy duplex outlet provided in the closet for the doorbell. (For technical folk: I put "transformer" in quotes because it's not really a transformer -- it's a universal-input, switching-type AC-DC power supply.)

Yes, it does get warmer than I'd like in continuous operation, but I intended to use a door switch to turn the lights on only for the brief periods when the closet door is open. For safety and code-compliance reasons, I preferred not to switch the AC power to the transformer, so I had to evaluate the behavior of the transformer with the door switch in series with the low-voltage output.

I plugged it into my Kill-a-Watt (get one, you'll love it) and was pleased to discover that with the output disconnected the transformer draws essentially zero power, so obviously it stays dead cool. The output voltage remained stable as I switched the LEDs on and off, and I concluded that switching the output was practical. I used an automotive-grade...

Coticon: This power supply interfaces very well with the Hitlights 300 Led lighting strip which I also purchased in the same order. The project that I am working on is still being built (stained glass stands each of which support a glass paperweight which we created and now want to illuminate and display), so i have not installed it in its final configuration. Currently, after cutting, and resoldering the LED strip (transforming them from one long string into a group of 5 x 3 matrices), I use this power supply to test my design and solder joints. Later on - I will use it to power the lights on the display. So far It has been dependable, handling the load well with no flickering. I will get back to you when I have used it for a month or so in its final configuration.
