Test conditions and notes11

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
4. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
5. 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)
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
9. 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).
10. 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
11. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can I use the HLG-480H-C3500AB for a dimmable LED grow light system?

Yes. The HLG-480H-C3500AB delivers 480W at 3500mA constant current and supports both built-in potentiometer adjustment and external 0-10V, 10V PWM or resistance dimming. This combination is ideal for horticultural lighting where you need to vary light intensity through different growth stages.

Is the HLG-480H-C3500AB suitable for driving dimmable high-bay LED fixtures?

Yes. At 480W and 3500mA, it powers high-output LED high-bay luminaires. The AB variant provides both manual adjustment via potentiometer and external dimming control, which is useful for warehouse or facility lighting systems that need scheduled or sensor-driven brightness changes.

What dimming options does the HLG-480H-C3500AB support?

The AB suffix means it includes a built-in potentiometer for manual output current adjustment and an external dimming input that accepts 0-10V analog, 10V PWM, or resistance signals. This gives you both local trimming and remote control flexibility for integrating into lighting control systems.

Can the HLG-480H-C3500AB power LED stadium or sports court floodlights?

Yes. With 480W at 3500mA constant current and a CC voltage range of 68-137V, it can drive high-power LED floodlight arrays. The dimming capability is useful for reducing output during practice sessions versus full-brightness competition events. Its IP65 rating protects against rain and dust.

What LED string voltage does the HLG-480H-C3500AB require?

The CC voltage range is 68-137V. Your series-connected LED string's total forward voltage must fall within this range for the driver to regulate current at 3500mA. The number of LEDs in the string depends on each LED's individual forward voltage.

How does the HLG-480H-C3500AB handle extreme outdoor temperatures?

It is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, with load derating at high temperatures, and carries an IP65 water-resistant rating. This supports installation in cold northern climates as well as hot rooftop or enclosed fixture locations. Follow MEAN WELL's user manual for IP waterproof installation cautions.
