Power Supply Recommendations

[Steven]

I looked for a 12v power supply on Amazon, and I many manufacturers. This is to replace an unnamed one that simply quit, so I'd like to buy something more reliable.

• ALITOVE DC 12V 20A 240W

• MENZO 12v 30a

• eTopxizu 12v 30a

• BMOUO 12V 30A

• SUPERNIGHT 12V 30A

• EPBOWPT 12V 30A

• EAGWELL 12V 30A

• Mean Well NES-350-12 12V 350 Watt

Any recommendations?

Some of those are just house labels. 

I have used meanwell for electronics.  You are lucky: Run up to Jaemco in San Carlos. They stock some of Meanwell

At the price point: If it just quits (does not take the load with it ) . You are ahead.

I happened to go with HC's 400W Exterior grade , leaving lots of room in the box for 2 controllers

I have about two dozen of the eTopxizu that Have been in my systems for seven years now with zero failures. Mean Well's are suppose to be the best but they are so expensive and I do have a few that I got at a great sale. However, with over 40 power suppliers in my systems I can't afford them to all be Mean Well.

I put most in a CG-1500, if you shop around you can find them for $10-$13.

Ditto, although I paid $19

Here's the best place I've found for them:

It says you need to call for pricing, but on other parts of their site I've seen them listed for $13.50.
