Test conditions and notes14
- 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 CHARACTERISTICS” 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. ELG-150-12(except blank/A-Type) is used for any light source that exempt from the ErP-Directive (EU) 2019/2020 requirement, for example this model could be use for signalling products(including, but not limited to road-, railway-, marineorair traffic-signalling , traffic control or airfield lamps) .
- 14. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can the ELG-150-36 power 36V LED strips or modules in outdoor signage?
Yes. The ELG-150-36 outputs 36V at 4.17A (150.1W) and is rated IP67 waterproof, making it suitable for outdoor sign cabinets using 36V LED modules or strips. The sealed case and -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) range support year-round outdoor service.
Is the ELG-150-36 suitable for powering LED retrofit lamps or fixtures in a damp outdoor location?
Yes. The IP67 rating covers exposure to rain and temporary water immersion, so the ELG-150-36 can be housed in outdoor luminaires or weatherproof enclosures in damp or wet locations. Ensure the load operates at 36V and stays within 150.1W.
How much 36V LED strip can the ELG-150-36 support?
The driver delivers up to 150.1W at 36V. For a 14.4 W/m strip, this allows approximately 10.4 m (150.1 ÷ 14.4). For an 18 W/m strip, about 8.3 m (150.1 ÷ 18). Check your strip's rated power per meter to confirm the maximum length before installation.
Can the ELG-150-36 be used for landscape lighting running 36V LED fixtures along a garden path?
Yes. 36V LED path and landscape fixtures are a practical application for the ELG-150-36. Its IP67 protection allows installation in a weatherproof outdoor junction box, and 150.1W is enough to run a series of low-wattage fixtures totaling up to that power.
Does the ELG-150-36 support any built-in dimming control?
No. The base ELG-150-36 (no letter suffix) does not include a dimming interface or an adjustment potentiometer; potentiometer voltage/current adjustment is only on the A/AB types. No external PWM, 0–10V, or DALI dimming signal input is available on this variant.
Can the ELG-150-36 drive 36V LED strips for interior commercial cove or under-cabinet lighting?
Yes. For interior installations such as commercial cove lighting or under-cabinet strips, the ELG-150-36 provides a stable 36V, 4.17A supply sufficient for medium-length strip runs. IP67 is not required indoors but adds robustness against dust and incidental moisture in kitchen or industrial settings.
How does the ELG-150-36 compare to the ELG-150-36A sibling?
Both models are 150.1W, 36V, 4.17A drivers with the same physical dimensions (219 × 63 × 35.5 mm) and operating temperature. The ELG-150-36 is IP67 waterproof with no adjustment or dimming, while the ELG-150-36A is IP65 water-resistant and adds a built-in potentiometer for output voltage (32.4–39.6V) and current (2.1–4.17A) adjustment, without a dimming input. Choose IP67 for fully exposed wet locations; choose the 36A if output adjustment is needed.
