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". For DA-Type, Constant Current region is 60%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
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 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. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
10. 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).
11. 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
12. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
13. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can the ELG-100-42DA be integrated into a DALI lighting control network?

Yes. The ‘DA’ suffix designates DALI dimming capability. The ELG-100-42DA accepts a DALI control signal, allowing it to be addressed individually or in groups within a DALI network (16 groups, 64 addresses) for dimming control in commercial or architectural lighting systems.

Is the ELG-100-42DA suitable for outdoor LED installations requiring DALI control?

Yes. The driver is rated IP67 waterproof, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against temporary water immersion. This allows outdoor mounting for DALI-controlled LED luminaires on building facades, in landscape settings, or in other wet-exposed locations.

Can I use the ELG-100-42DA for a DALI-controlled LED strip run in a commercial office or retail space?

Yes. The 95.76W / 42V output (70W on 100–180VAC input) and DALI control interface make the ELG-100-42DA suitable for DALI-dimmed 42V LED strip systems in offices, retail, or hospitality environments. For strip rated at 10W per meter, the driver supports up to approximately 9.5 meters per circuit at 95.76W—verify your strip’s power density.

Can the ELG-100-42DA be used to drive 42V LED luminaires in a DALI-2 compliant building automation system?

The ELG-100-42DA supports the DALI interface for dimming control; the datasheet states compliance with IEC62386-101 and 102 (207 by request) and does not state DALI-2 certification. Verify with MEAN WELL or your supplier whether it meets the DALI-2 requirements of your building automation project.

How does the ELG-100-42DA compare to the ELG-100-42AB for a controllable LED lighting system?

Both deliver 95.76W at 42V with 2.28A output current. The ELG-100-42AB offers 3-in-1 dimming (0–10V / PWM / resistance) plus output voltage and current adjustment and is rated IP65. The ELG-100-42DA provides DALI dimming (suitable for addressable DALI networks) and is rated IP67. Choose the ‘AB’ for analogue or PWM dimming systems; choose the ‘DA’ for DALI-bus control.

Will the ELG-100-42DA operate at extreme cold temperatures in outdoor winter conditions?

Yes. The ELG-100-42DA is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C. This covers cold-climate outdoor installations in northern regions where temperatures regularly drop well below freezing.
