    This item does not ship to Switzerland. :(

    Nevertheless, my electronics knowledge does not understand the following (contradictory?) data:
    LED Power Supply Unit PSU 600 Watts 12 Volt 50 Ampere Constant Voltage DC 12V Single Output
    *Output Voltage: 12 volt DC
    *Output Current: 0~25 ampere
    *Output Power: 0~600 watts

    Under Questions & Answers:
    The voltage is stable 12 V.output current is between 0-29A,that is all power this PSU can afford.

    I've noticed that quite often listings on Amazon and Ebay are contradictory or just incorrect. Like motors I bought that were claimed to be 1500 watts when they were actually 600 watts.

    And just to put it out there I use and recommend these to everyone if they ship to where you live. https://www.amazon.com/PowerMax-PM4-100A-Converter-Battery/dp/B01ER3LH5W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515101198&sr=8-1&keywords=powermax+100a. Yes they are somewhat expensive just like everyone said about Sabertooth controllers at first but they just work like the sabertooth does. And if 100 amps doesn't do it for you on its own then you can just add a battery and you can power just about anything. Since its also a 4 stage smart charger you can always keep your battery connected and in tip top shape. But compared to buying 6 cheaper led power supplies its not much more expensive at all.

    Thats just a generic description as its the same for whatever PSU you pick. Its just I know that 600w will supply 50 amp :)

    I use these server power supplies in all sorts of applications and they have proven to be very good. All you have to do is short the small pins 4,6,8 and 10 together and away they go. The two large connectors on the left is gnd and the two large on the right are +12v. If you need any more information give me a shout.

    I've just ordered the 400W version to power my 3D printer. The printer only really requires a 240W supply so hopefully the 400W model will have enough guts to power it o_O
    The only reason for choosing this PSU above the others on sale was because it comes with a 2 year warranty and it's verified by Amazon.

    You have to laugh at some of the reviews, clearly not fraudulent in any way :grin
