Even then, there are knockoffs of Meanwell to look out for.
Only the name is the same so why call it a knockoff?
If there was a fake brandname on it like Meawell or something similar sounding or looking that is different.

Meanwell fakes are a lucrative business, also for LED drivers.
You can enter the PSU serial number to see if it's fake. It seems to go back only to 2011 but not sure.
I notice the label size/look of the MW logo is suspicious and varies widely. The enclosure, terminal block and control layouts identical in cheaper brands and the fake seller's shops pop up and close down quite quickly.
We don't know what OP has inside the box.
