AC DC Converter

Afternoon,

Instead of getting several 12V PSUs for my pumps I wanted to build a mains converter into my HERMS control box with a connection for each pump. Wanted to know if anyone has tried using the LED drivers available on eBay to run pumps? Any stupid reason why they wouldn't be suitabe?

For example https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AC-to-DC-12V-LED-Driver-Power-Supply-Transformer-240V-UK-Stock/162830271380?hash=item25e970c394:m:m3n85wjNdNK-9b2-UJMJRtw&var=461867790395

If not any suggestions for a converter which could be easily mounted inside a project box would be great
