Test conditions and notes12
- 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.
- 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 point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
- 10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-150H-48AB with a building automation system to dim 48V LED fixtures?
Yes. The HLG-150H-48AB accepts 1-10V and PWM dimming signals, making it compatible with most building management and automation systems. The built-in potentiometer also allows manual fine-tuning of the maximum output level independently from the dimming control.
Is the HLG-150H-48AB a good driver for dimmable 48V LED office or retail lighting?
Yes. With 153.6W at 48V, adjustable output, and dimming input, it is well suited for commercial environments where lighting levels need to change throughout the day. The 48V output also permits longer cable runs with less voltage drop compared to 24V systems, which is an advantage in large retail or open-plan office layouts.
Can the HLG-150H-48AB power a 48V LED cove lighting system with smooth dimming?
Yes. The combination of adjustable output and 1-10V/PWM dimming makes it ideal for architectural cove lighting where precise brightness control matters. You can set the potentiometer to match your LED strip's optimal drive level, then use the dimming input for day-to-day brightness changes.
How many meters of 48V LED strip can the HLG-150H-48AB drive?
Divide the 153.6W rated power by your strip's wattage per meter. A 48V strip rated at 12W/m could run up to 12.8 meters (153.6W / 12W per meter = 12.8m). Check your strip's rated power per meter and keep the total load at or below 153.6W for reliable dimming performance.
Can the HLG-150H-48AB be used in a humid indoor space like a pool area or spa room?
Its IP65 rating protects against low-pressure water jets and dust, which is generally adequate for humid indoor environments like pool equipment rooms or spa areas where the driver is not directly submerged, provided humidity stays within the rated 20-95% RH non-condensing. For locations with potential water immersion, the IP67-rated HLG-150H-48B with dimming would be a better choice.
