Most wardrobe lighting problems are not lighting problems — they are power supply problems. A bulky driver that doesn't fit inside the cabinet. A separate distribution box needed for each shelf. External junction boxes left visible on the wardrobe exterior. Wire clutter running out of the furniture to a mounted driver on the wall.
Nucleo's cabinet and wardrobe LED power supply is built to eliminate all of that. At just 18mm tall, the body slides inside virtually any wardrobe top box, plinth cavity, or furniture void — completely out of sight once the furniture is assembled. Its 12 individual output ports mean a single driver can feed every shelf, every hanging rail, every drawer section, and every display zone of a large wardrobe system — no additional splitters, no secondary hubs, no extra hardware.
🔌 One Input Cable. Twelve Independent Outputs.
The 230V AC mains enters from one side. On the other: 12 separate screw-terminal output connections, each delivering clean 12–24V DC to one LED light point independently. Lose one connection — the other 11 keep working. Upgrade or replace one shelf strip — unplug just that port. Clean, serviceable, and completely modular by design.
All three models share identical port count, voltage range, safety rating and slim 18mm profile. Choose wattage to match your LED load — use the 20% headroom rule for best driver life.
💡 Sizing Tip — The 20% Headroom Rule
Add up all connected LED wattages. Divide by 0.8. The result is your minimum driver rating. A driver operating at 100% of rated load runs hotter and ages faster. At 80% load it stays cooler, runs more efficiently, and typically lasts two to three times longer. Example: 9 shelf strips at 8W each = 72W ÷ 0.8 = 90W minimum — choose the 100W model.

12 Independent Outputs
Each of the 12 screw-terminal ports is an independent output — mix fixture types, wattages and run lengths across a single driver.
📐
18mm Ultra-Slim
The 18mm body height fits inside virtually any wardrobe top box, kick panel void, or cabinet cavity — fully concealed after installation.
⚡
12V & 24V Compatible
Adjustable output covers both 12V and 24V LED wardrobe lights, strips and bars. One SKU for both voltage standards.
🌏
Universal AC Input
Auto-range 100–130V / 170–264V input — no manual selector switch. Covers India's 230V supply without adjustment.
🛡️
SELV — Class III Safe
Safety Extra Low Voltage output — compliant with Class III luminaire requirements. Safe for furniture spaces users access daily.
🔒
Auto-Recovery Protection
Built-in overload, short circuit and over-voltage protection with automatic recovery — the driver self-resets once the fault is cleared.
🌡️
Efficient & Runs Cool
High conversion efficiency means low heat generation. Designed for continuous operation inside enclosed furniture cavities with limited airflow.
🔧
Screw-Terminal Wiring
All 12 output ports use screw-terminal connections for tool-assisted, secure wiring — no push-fit clips that loosen over time in vibrating furniture.
How many LED lights can I connect to a single cabinet power supply?
＋
Up to 12 individual LED light points — one per output port. The total wattage across all 12 ports must not exceed the driver's rated wattage (60W, 100W or 150W). There is no restriction on mixing different LED fixture types on the same driver, as long as they all run at the same voltage (either all 12V or all 24V) and the total load stays within the model rating.
Can I use different wattage LED lights on different ports of the same driver?
＋
Yes. Each port is an independent output connection — so one shelf can have a 3W strip while another has an 8W bar and a third a 5W spot. The driver only sees the total wattage across all 12 ports. What matters is that the total does not exceed the driver's wattage rating and all fixtures run at the same output voltage.
Is this driver compatible with motion sensor wardrobe lights?
＋
Yes, as long as the motion sensor light operates on 12V or 24V DC (matching the driver's output) and the sensor switching happens on the DC side. Most wardrobe sensor lights use a PIR sensor built into the fixture that switches the LED circuit locally — these connect directly to any output port and work normally. Sensors that switch the 230V AC input side should be wired before the driver's AC input terminal, not on the DC output side.
Why does the 18mm slim body matter for furniture installation?
＋
Standard LED power supplies are 30–50mm thick and simply do not fit inside the recessed cavities of modern wardrobe top boxes, behind kick panels, or within the narrow void above a cabinet shelf. At 18mm, this driver slides into almost any existing furniture cavity with clearance to spare — no drilling of larger recesses, no external junction box, and no visible hardware after the furniture is fully assembled.
What is the maximum cable run length from driver to each LED light?
＋
For 24V systems, runs up to 5–8 metres per port will see negligible voltage drop with standard 2-core 0.75mm² cable. For 12V systems, keep individual runs under 3–4 metres to avoid dimming at the fixture end. If longer runs are unavoidable, increase cable cross-section to 1.0mm² or 1.5mm². For large wardrobes with long cable runs, 24V LED fixtures are always preferred over 12V to minimise voltage drop impact.
What does SELV mean and is it required for furniture lighting?
＋
SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) means the 12–24V DC output cannot deliver a harmful electric shock under normal conditions. For furniture and wardrobe lighting, SELV is the correct safety class because LED wiring inside the furniture is accessible to users during everyday access. Class III luminaires — the category most wardrobe and cabinet lights fall under — require a SELV power source. Using a SELV-rated driver is the compliant choice for furniture installations.
How do I calculate which wattage model I need?
＋
Add the wattage of every LED light that will be connected. Then apply the 20% headroom rule: divide your total by 0.8 to get the minimum driver rating. Example: 10 shelf lights at 7W each = 70W ÷ 0.8 = 87.5W minimum — choose the 100W model. Running a driver at full rated load continuously shortens its lifespan; the 20% headroom keeps it operating cool and efficiently for longer.
