IMITOS 300W 24V LED Power Supply GMR 300W-24V
The IMITOS LED Power Supply 300W (Model: GMR 300W-24V) is a premium-grade, ultra-slim constant voltage LED driver engineered for domestic and commercial lighting setups across Malaysia. Delivering a stable 24V DC output at 12.5A, this high-capacity power supply transforms standard AC input (175-265V) into smooth, flicker-free energy. Boasting a highly compact, space-saving design (227 × 50 × 23mm), it seamlessly fits into narrow plaster ceiling alcoves and custom cabinetry, making it the perfect match for high-density 24V LED strip lights, signage, and linear profile installations.
Full Description:
Technical Precision Built for Malaysian Power Grids
Operating safely within an input threshold of 175-265V AC at 50/60Hz, the IMITOS GMR driver is structurally tailored to handle the standard electrical currents found throughout Malaysia. This wide-spectrum input tolerance means that even during minor voltage dips or neighborhood grid surges, your lighting intensity remains perfectly steady.The output side is precisely calibrated to deliver a rock-solid 24V DC up to 12.5A. Unlike cheaper, unbranded alternatives that experience voltage drop over extended runs, the IMITOS GMR maintains uniform distribution. This ensures that the first foot of your LED strip light matches the exact lumen output of the final foot, avoiding unsightly dark spots or uneven dimming.
The Ultra-Slim Advantage
Traditional 300W transformers are often bulky, heavy, and impossible to hide. The IMITOS GMR 300W-24V completely flips this narrative with its ultra-low-profile architecture. Measuring just 227mm in length, 50mm in width, and a mere 23mm in thickness, this thin form factor allows electrical contractors and interior designers to slide the power supply directly out of sight. It nests perfectly inside standard plaster ceiling L-boxes, behind thin retail cabinetry kickboards, or neatly inside aluminum mounting tracks.
Comprehensive Safety Mechanisms
Comprehensive Safety Mechanisms
Running high-wattage electrical components demands rigid safety systems. The IMITOS GMR 300W-24V incorporates smart safety protections including:
-
Overload Protection: Automatically steps down or pauses output if current demands exceed safe limits.
-
Short-Circuit Recovery: Safely shuts off the system during an electrical fault and restores operation automatically once resolved.
-
Over-Voltage Shielding: Protects sensitive internal LED chips from getting fried by external surges.

A: A 24V power supply like the IMITOS GMR 300W-24V carries current more efficiently over longer distances than a 12V system. It experiences significantly lower voltage drop, allowing you to run extended lengths of LED strip lights with uniform brightness without needing to inject power mid-way.
Q2: Can I use a 300W power supply for a 150W LED strip light setup?
A: Yes, absolutely. It is highly recommended to follow the 80% Rule in electrical planning. Running a 150W load on a 300W power supply means it operates at only 50% capacity, lowering internal heat generation and significantly extending the lifespan of the driver.
Q3: Is the IMITOS GMR 300W-24V power supply waterproof?
A:No, based on its ultra-slim ventilation-dependent dimensions (227 × 50 × 23mm), this specific model is designed for indoor (IP20 style) applications. It is ideal for indoor plaster ceilings, kitchen cabinets, and indoor retail displays. Do not expose it directly to rain or high humidity.
Q4: Why are my LED strip lights flickering on a 24V driver?
A: Flickering is usually caused by either an overloaded power supply, unstable input voltage, or poor loose wiring. If the total wattage of your LED strips exceeds the rated 300W capacity, the unit's automatic overload protection kicks in, causing a rhythmic flashing effect.
Q5: How many meters of LED strip can I connect to this 300W driver?
A: This depends on the wattage consumption per meter (W/m) of your LED strip. For instance, if your high-brightness strip draws 15W/M, you can theoretically power up to 20 meters (300W ÷ 15W/M). Factoring in the 80% safety margin, a total load of 16 meters (240W) is recommended.
Q6: Does this LED driver support phase-cut or triac dimming systems?
A: The IMITOS GMR 300W-24V is a standard constant-voltage non-dimmable power supply. To dim your lights using this driver, you should install a low-voltage DC controller (such as a MiBoxer or Zigbee 24V dimmer receiver) on the output side between the power supply and the LED strips.
Q7: Is an input voltage range of 175-265V safe for Malaysia's power grid?
A: Yes. Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) supplies a nominal single-phase voltage of 230V AC in Malaysia. The IMITOS driver's operating window of 175-265V fully encapsulates this standard, protecting your lights from damage during everyday grid fluctuations.
Q8: What happens if the IMITOS power supply undergoes a short circuit?
A: The unit features built-in automated short-circuit protection (often called hiccup mode). It will temporarily cut off power to prevent electrical fires or systemic damage and will safely auto-recover once the physical wiring fault is removed.
Q9: Can this 24V power supply be used to charge 24V batteries?
A: No, this is a dedicated constant-voltage power supply intended exclusively for lighting and electronics. It lacks the complex charging curves, smart cut-offs, and reverse polarity protections needed to charge batteries safely.
Q10: Why choose a slim profile power supply over standard box models?
A:Slim profile power supplies (23mm thickness) solve physical installation barriers. Standard box transformers cannot fit inside modern tight plaster ceiling plaster box slots or narrow linear profiles, whereas a slim driver slides in neatly and stays invisible.
