inShareplus LED Power Supply 24V 150W IP67 Outdoor Driver
Product description
What it is
The inShareplus LED Power Supply is a 24V DC driver rated up to 150W, housed in an aluminium alloy case with IP67 waterproof protection. It converts 80-265V AC (50/60Hz) to a stable 24V DC output at up to 6.25A. Designed for outdoor use and compatible with LED strip lights, LED bulbs and other 24V DC LED fittings (≤150W). On paper, it aims to be a straightforward, rugged option for projects that sit outside or in damp environments.
How it performs
With IP67 sealing, the unit is protected against dust and immersion in water, which makes it a sensible choice for exterior installations, garden paths, or sheltered outdoor areas. The build prioritises heat dissipation through its metal housing, which is important for longevity in duty cycles common to LED lighting. The input range of 80-265V AC adds flexibility for different mains supplies, reducing the need for multiple models on a site.
Key protections and reliability
The driver includes automatic protection against short circuits, overloads, over voltage, over current and high temperatures. In fault conditions it uses hiccup (auto-recovery) mode, which can help reset operations after a fault without user intervention. This is helpful for installations where continuous monitoring isn’t practical.
Pros and what to watch
Pros: rugged outdoor rating, broad input compatibility, clear output specification (24V DC, up to 6.25A), automatic fault recovery, and a compact aluminium housing for heat management. Cons: the stated maximum output is 150W, so it may not suit higher-wattage LED arrays or future expansions, the IP67 rating aids weather resistance but doesn’t guarantee immersion in deeper water or submersion beyond its spec. Consider whether your load sits comfortably under 150W and if the temperature profile of your site aligns with typical LED driver operation.
Who it’s for
This unit is well suited to individual outdoor lighting projects, such as LED strips along a porch, garden lighting, or exterior signage where a 24V solution is preferred and a robust, weatherproof driver is needed. If your system already uses 24V DC LEDs and you value a robust outdoor ethos, it’s worth considering.
Who it’s not ideal for
If you require more headroom for future expansion or higher-wattage LED arrays, this driver may feel restrictive. It’s also not a smart driver with dimming or remote control features, for that capability you’d need a different model or an additional controller.
When it makes sense to buy
If you’re planning a straightforward 24V LED installation exposed to the outdoors or in damp environments, and your total load stays at or under 150W, this driver offers a practical balance of ruggedness and simplicity.
Before you buy – quick checks
- Confirm your total LED load does not exceed 150W. If you’re near the limit, margins matter for temperature rise.
- Ensure the 24V DC LEDs are compatible with constant voltage driving or that any required wiring/diodes are accounted for in your design.
- Assess the mounting and cabling to maintain IP67 integrity, secure seals and proper strain relief are important.
How it compares to typical alternatives
For outdoor projects, you’ll often weigh a rugged, fixed-output driver like this against flexible or dimmable options. If you need reliable, weatherproof operation without smart features, this unit sits in the practical mid tier—no frills, just solid power delivery for 24V loads. If you anticipate higher loads, longer runs, or dimming control, you might look for a driver with higher wattage, adjustable output or dimming capabilities.
Technical snapshot

FAQ
- Is this suitable for outdoor installation? Yes, IP67 rating supports outdoor use with proper mounting and seals.
- Can I run more than 150W? No, the maximum continuous output is 150W, exceeding this may trigger protection.
- Does it support dimming? No, this model focuses on fixed 24V output without dimming features.
- What mains voltages are acceptable? It accepts 80-265V AC, so it adapts well to most mains supplies.
Final decision
Should you buy it? It makes sense if you need a sturdy, weatherproof 24V DC driver for outdoor LED installations with a total load up to 150W, and you prefer a simple, reliable, hiccup-protected unit without extra features. Not the best choice if you plan to expand beyond 150W, require dimming, or want smart control capabilities. In real-world terms, it’s a sensible workhorse for UK outdoor lighting that prioritises durability and straightforward operation over advanced features.
