The other one is a more expensive Lab supply white in color. The white ones are quiet a bit heavier with a large heatsink on the back. Not sure if this is a SMP or a Transformer based one, from the weight I guess could be transformer.

The concern with either one is will the be safe to use outside? Where potentially due might get in, as such would they then be safe to use inside a plastic tool box of some sort.
The second type (white) is the one I refered to I have two of them and use them outdoors without problems. Even in the rain! I would expect by the weight they are transformers but I have not checked inside.
