Is it normal for the vectra s2 running full 100% for the adapter to be hot?
 
What are you defining as hot. My L2s run around 110 degrees.

I have several power supplies for different pumps, lights and some do appear to be quite warm to the touch.
 
Agree. I think running war/hot is the norm… i have several “meanwell” power supplies which are generally considered the standard, they all run hot to the touch.

How hot is yours? You should able to keep your hand on it for some time, or are you afraid it’s going to melt any plastic or wiring thats near it?
