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-C3500B to drive a high-power LED grow light panel?

Yes. The HLG-480H-C3500B provides 480W at 3500mA constant current with a CC voltage range of 68-137V. The high current output is well-suited for multi-chip COB or LED board arrays used in horticultural lighting, and the dimming input allows light level adjustment for different plant growth phases.

Is the HLG-480H-C3500B a good fit for LED high-bay lighting in an industrial facility?

Yes. At 480W and 3500mA, it can drive high-output LED high-bay fixtures for factories, warehouses, and large retail spaces. The B variant's dimming input lets you integrate with building management systems for scheduled or occupancy-based brightness control.

Does the HLG-480H-C3500B support dimming, and how does it differ from the A and AB variants?

The B variant has an external dimming input (0-10V, 10V PWM, or resistance) but no built-in potentiometer. The A variant has only the potentiometer for manual adjustment with no external dimming input. The AB variant includes both the potentiometer and the external dimming input. All three share the same 480W, 3500mA, 68-137V CC core specs.

Can the HLG-480H-C3500B power outdoor LED area or floodlight fixtures?

Yes. Its 480W output at 3500mA constant current handles high-power floodlight modules for parking areas, building perimeters, or landscape lighting. The IP65 enclosure resists water jets and dust, and the -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) range covers extreme seasonal conditions.

What total LED forward voltage does the HLG-480H-C3500B need to see on its output?

The CC voltage range is 68-137V. Your series LED string's combined forward voltage must land within that window for the driver to maintain 3500mA regulation. The actual LED count per string depends on each LED's forward voltage at the rated current.

Can the HLG-480H-C3500B withstand humid or dusty industrial environments?

Yes. Its IP65 rating protects against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, which covers many indoor industrial conditions including food processing areas and woodworking shops. It is rated for 20-95% RH non-condensing working humidity.
