I have been using some sealed units of Chinese origin bought on eBay.   Like this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165145242820

I've have a couple fail on me.   They aren't being used at anything like their "notional" rated current (more like 3 or 4A maximum).

So I'm looking for recommendations of a suitable replacement.   It is used outdoors (but inside a box) so the "waterproof" bit is relevant though condensation is the problem not immersion.

Thanks
David

That's what watertight enclosures are for.
