We are talking about output power DC in the above calculations
The 164 watt I talked about is AC power measured of the input.
There is a thing called power factor on the AC side that might make the measured AC numbers higher than what they really are.
Complete new discussion.
Difference between AC power in and DC power output == efficiency of the PSU.

Well fromport, it appears you were right about the power reduction in output operating between 85v to 176v AC input. At the lover AC input the PSU is rated for 100 watts no additional cooling. Or 150 watts fan assisted cooling (which the LV08 does provide). I bought this PSU because soon I'll have 3 * LV08s and I wanted a backup in case one of them died (the power supply that is). It's very tiny!

So yes, I think you're close to your limit at 164 watts from the wall! The PSU is about 90% efficient, which means 150 watts on the DC side will be ~110% of that on the AC side (110% of 150 watts = 165 watts). Close enough. If you try to draw more power than the PSU can deliver, there's a chance it will shut down.

This particular PSU comes in 4 models, (12v, 19v, 24v and 48v).
