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-48AB to power a large 48V LED strip installation with dimming?

Yes. The HLG-480H-48AB delivers 480W at 48V and includes both an output adjustment potentiometer and a 3-in-1 dimming input (0-10VDC, 10V PWM or resistance). This makes it well suited for lengthy 48V LED strip runs in commercial or architectural projects where brightness control is required.

Is the HLG-480H-48AB suitable for powering 48V LED signage with brightness scheduling?

Yes. With 480W of output at 48V and built-in dimming capability, this driver can handle large channel letter signs or illuminated sign cabinets running on 48V LED modules. The dimming input allows connection to a timer or automation controller for day/night brightness scheduling.

Can the HLG-480H-48AB drive 48V LED high-bay or warehouse lighting?

Yes. At 480W and 10A of output current, the HLG-480H-48AB can power high-output 48V LED fixtures used in warehouses or industrial spaces. The adjustable output lets you fine-tune voltage to match your fixture string, and the dimming input supports occupancy-based or daylight-harvesting dimming.

How many meters of 48V LED strip can the HLG-480H-48AB support?

That depends on the strip's rated power per meter. The HLG-480H-48AB supplies up to 480W at 48V. For example, a strip rated at 20W/m could run up to 24 meters (480W / 20W per meter = 24m). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep total load at or below 480W.

Can the HLG-480H-48AB be mounted in a covered outdoor location?

Yes. Its IP65 rating protects against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, so it is suitable for covered patios, soffits, or ventilated outdoor enclosures. For fully exposed installations or locations with a risk of temporary immersion, consider the IP67-rated HLG-480H-48B instead.

What are the differences between the HLG-480H-48, 48A, 48AB, and 48B?

All four share the same 480W / 48V / 10A core specs and metal housing. The base HLG-480H-48 has no output adjustment or dimming and is IP67 waterproof. The -48A adds an output adjustment potentiometer (IP65). The -48AB adds both adjustment and 0-10V/PWM/resistance dimming (IP65). The -48B provides dimming input only and retains IP67 waterproofing.
