Test conditions and notes13

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
4. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
7. The driver is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
8. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
9. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >62,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃ or less.
10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
11. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
12. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf
13. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can I use the HLG-480H-36B for outdoor 36V LED strip lighting exposed to rain?

Yes. The HLG-480H-36B delivers 478.8W at 36V and carries an IP67 waterproof rating, meaning it can withstand temporary immersion up to 1 meter. It is well suited for fully exposed outdoor LED strip installations where rain or snow are expected.

Is the HLG-480H-36B suitable for powering dimmable 36V LED flood lights?

Yes. The B suffix indicates a 3-in-1 dimming signal input (0-10VDC, 10V PWM, or resistance), so you can control brightness externally. With 478.8W available at 36V and 13.3A, it can drive high-power 36V LED flood light arrays while allowing scene-level dimming through a compatible controller.

Can the HLG-480H-36B power 36V LED modules in an outdoor commercial sign?

Yes. At 478.8W and 36V output, it handles large signage loads. The IP67 waterproof enclosure means you can mount it outdoors without an additional weatherproof box. Its wide 90-305VAC input also accommodates varying mains voltages found at commercial sites around the world.

How many meters of 36V LED strip can the HLG-480H-36B drive?

That depends on the strip's power consumption per meter. The HLG-480H-36B provides up to 478.8W at 36V. For instance, if your strip uses 20W/m, you could run up to about 23.9 meters (478.8W / 20W per meter = 23.9m). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep total load at or below 478.8W.

Can the HLG-480H-36B operate in extreme cold or hot environments?

Yes, within limits. It is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) range of -40°C to +90°C, which covers extreme winter cold; at rated current in constant-current mode the maximum ambient is about 60°C (230VAC), so output must be derated in hotter surroundings. Combined with its IP67 metal housing, it is designed for harsh outdoor conditions year-round.
