Welcome, I have two desks and each of them have the same setup, in terms of the amount of LED strips, the amount of LEDs (I counted), but only different is LED Driver. So:
Setup 1:
Setup 2:
The efficiency mentioned in Setup 1 for LED driver is about 82%, whereas Setup 2 LED Driver 88%, I don't think that's a huge contributing factor?
Could someone educate me why there is such a big difference in energy use between these two? Almost halved!
Would that be surprising to anyone? Should I have done anything differently in terms of testing? I measured from the AC socket directly

Setup 1:
- LED Driver (Ecopac 24W IP67 Rated LED Driver (EPV-24 Series)) - 24V
- 4 LED strips
- Uses 1.3W
Setup 2:
- LED Driver (Mean Well NPF-40-24 (NPF-40 Series)) - 24V
- 4 LED strips (Same ones like Setup 1)
- Uses 0.7W
The efficiency mentioned in Setup 1 for LED driver is about 82%, whereas Setup 2 LED Driver 88%, I don't think that's a huge contributing factor?
