Description
HLG-150H series is a 150W AC/DC LED driver featuring the dual mode constant voltage and constant current output. HLG-150H operates from 90 ~ 305VAC and offers models with different rated voltages ranging between 12V and 54V. Thanks to the high efficiency up to 94%, with the fanless design, the entire series can operate for -40°C ~ +90°C case temperature under free air convection. The design of metal housing and IP67/|P65 ingress protection level allows this series to fit both indoor and outdoor applications. HLG-150H is equipped with various function options, such as dimming methodologies, to provide the optimal design flexibility for LED lighting systems.

SPECIFICATION


NOTE
- All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
 - Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12″ twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
 - Tolerance: includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
 - Please refer to “DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE”.
 - De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to the “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
 - The length of set-up time is measured at the first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to an increase of the set-up time.
 - The driver is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with the final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify the EMC Directive on the complete installation. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
 - To fulfill the requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without being permanently connected to the mains.
 - This series meets the typical life expectancy of >62,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
 - Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL’s website at http://www.meanwell.com.
 - The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitudes higher than 2000m(6500ft).
 - For any application note and IP waterproof function installation caution, please refer to our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf

DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE
- 
This series is able to work in either Constant Current mode (a direct driveway) or Constant Voltage mode (usually through an additional DC/DC driver) to drive the LEDs.
 - 
In the constant current region, the highest voltage at the output of the driver depends on the configuration of the end systems.
 - 
Should there be any compatibility issues, please contact MEAN WELL.
 - 
Typical output current normalized by rated current (%)
 
DIMMING OPERATION

3 in 1 dimming function (for B/AB-Type)
- Output constant current level can be adjusted by applying one of the three methodologies between DIM+ and DIM-: 1 ~ 10VDC, or 10V PWM signal or resistance.
 - Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested. It is not suitable to be used with additional drivers.
 - Dimming source current from power supply: 100μA (typ.)
 
Applying additive 1 ~ 10VDC

- Applying additive 10V PWM signal (frequency range 100Hz ~ 3KHz):
 

- Applying additive resistance:
 

Note: In the case of turning the lighting fixture down to 0% brightness, please refer to the configuration as follows, or please contact MEAN WELL for other options.

- Using a switch and relay can turn ON/OFF the lighting fixture.
