I looked at their website at many of their power supplies.

While they all have FCC ...non have EU.     The Meanwells have EU.  I 
think the EU standard is either much cleaner spec OR it is enforced, 
while the fcc spec is probably ignored.  Had same issue with under 
cabinet kitchen lighting and solution was a Meanwell supply that had EU 
( I think they all do). Hanley  might not bother with the EU market.
