Applications

The XLC-25/40/60MA series offers versatile solutions for a wide range of smart lighting applications, providing seamless wireless dimming, energy efficiency, and enhanced user control.

Office Lighting
Modern office spaces require efficient, flicker-free lighting that enhances productivity and comfort. The XLC-25/40/60MA series supports Matter wireless dimming, allowing businesses to integrate automated lighting control for different work zones. Employees can adjust brightness levels via smart home hubs, voice assistants, or mobile apps, creating a comfortable working environment while reducing energy consumption. The low dimming level (0.1% - 0.5%) also makes it ideal for conference rooms where adjustable lighting is needed for presentations.

Smart Home Lighting
With Matter certification, the XLC-25/40/60MA series ensures seamless compatibility with popular smart home ecosystems, such as Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings. Homeowners can easily customize and automate lighting scenes, whether it's bright lighting for morning routines or warm, dimmed lights for relaxing evenings. The built-in antenna allows for easy wireless installation, reducing the need for complex wiring setups.

Retail & Commercial Spaces
Retail and commercial spaces require dynamic lighting solutions to create engaging customer experiences. The XLC-25/40/60MA series enables store owners to implement smart lighting control, adjusting brightness levels based on time of day, occupancy, or promotional events. With DALI, KNX, and Matter integration, retailers can optimize energy efficiency, ensuring bright displays for products while dimming lights in unoccupied areas to save power.

Architectural & Decorative Lighting
For architectural and decorative lighting, precise control and flexibility are crucial. The XLC-25/40/60MA series allows for seamless dimming adjustments, making it perfect for accent lighting, mood lighting, and façade illumination. Architects and lighting designers can integrate Matter-enabled LED drivers into smart control systems, enabling smooth transitions between different lighting effects while maintaining color consistency and flicker-free operation.

Emergency Lighting Systems
Emergency lighting systems must be reliable, energy-efficient, and easy to maintain. The XLC-25/40/60MA series meets strict CE ErP standards and supports emergency lighting (EL) applications. It provides low-dimming capabilities and stable performance in critical situations, ensuring that pathways, exits, and safety zones remain well-lit when needed. The integration with Matter allows for remote monitoring and control, helping facility managers ensure compliance with safety regulations.

With the integration of Matter wireless dimming, MEAN WELL continues to push the boundaries of smart lighting technology, delivering interoperability, energy efficiency, and user-friendly control across diverse applications.
