Type: Type HL

Test conditions and notes13

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. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
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 cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
7. The DA type power supply is less efficient than the typical efficiency in specification by 1%.
8. 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)
9. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 70℃ 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 or filling the Io adjusting hole with the potting compound to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can I use the Mean Well HBG-160-48B for a 48V high bay LED light?

Yes, this model is built for high and low bay lighting and provides a 48V output with 158.4W maximum power. It can operate in constant current mode at up to 3.3A, so the fixture must match the 48V output or the 28.8-48V constant current range.

Is the HBG-160-48B suitable for 48V low bay lighting?

Yes, this LED driver is intended for high and low bay light applications and has a circular shape that fits that style of fixture. Its 48V output, 3.3A output current, and 158.4W rating need to match the light engine's required constant current operating range of 28.8-48V.

Can I use this driver for outdoor 48V LED signage?

It can work for outdoor 48V signage if the sign lighting runs at 48V or as a constant current load in the 28.8-48V range at up to 3.3A. The IP67 waterproof rating supports wet locations, but the lighting load still has to stay within 158.4W.

Will this work with 48V LED strip lighting?

It can be used with 48V LED strip products: this unit is a constant voltage + constant current driver that outputs up to 3.3A, with a 28.8-48V constant current range and up to 158.4W, so check the strip's voltage and current requirements before pairing it.

How much 48V LED strip can the HBG-160-48B run?

The driver can supply up to 158.4W total at 48V. To estimate maximum strip length, divide 158.4W by your strip's rated power per meter, and check your strip rated power per meter so the total load stays within 158.4W.

Is the HBG-160-48B okay for outdoor or wet environments?

Yes, the housing is rated IP67 waterproof, so it is suited for wet and outdoor environments where that level of ingress protection is required. It is specified for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +85°C, with output derating at higher temperatures.
