Test conditions and notes15
- 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 first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 7. No load/standby power consumption is specified for 230VAC input.
- 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. BIS IS15885(for 12/12A/12B/12DA/24/24A/24B/24DA/36/36A/36B/42A/42B/48/48A/48B/54A/54B).
- 14. 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.
- 15. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Is the ELG-200-36A appropriate for an outdoor LED lighting installation under a covered patio or canopy?
Yes. The ELG-200-36A is rated IP65, protecting against low-pressure water jets and dust ingress. It is well suited for covered outdoor locations such as canopy soffits, covered parking structures, or sheltered sign cabinets where direct rain impact is unlikely but humidity and splashing are present.
Can the ELG-200-36A be used to fine-tune brightness in a 36V commercial LED strip installation?
Yes. The A suffix indicates this driver has adjustable output current (2.78–5.55A) and voltage (33.5–38.5V), set via a built-in potentiometer on the unit. This is useful in retail or hospitality lighting where the designer needs to match illuminance levels across a space without adding separate dimmer controllers.
How much 36V LED strip can the ELG-200-36A drive?
The driver outputs 199.8W at 5.55A. For a 36V strip rated at 18 W/m, you can run approximately 11.1 m per driver (199.8 W ÷ 18 W/m). For a higher-density 25 W/m strip, that is approximately 8 m. Always check the strip's rated wattage per meter and leave a 10–20% safety margin.
Can the ELG-200-36A power under-shelf LED strip lighting in a commercial kitchen?
Yes, in protected positions. The IP65 rating protects against dust and low-pressure water jets, which suits splash-prone kitchen areas. Keep the driver away from direct heat sources: its case temperature must stay within -40°C to +90°C, and at rated current the maximum ambient is 60°C, so mount it where it is not heated by cooking equipment.
Is the ELG-200-36A suitable for powering 36V LED strip in architectural cove lighting projects?
Yes. The adjustable output allows current to be set to the precise level needed for the cove design, and the 199.8W capacity supports generous strip lengths in single continuous runs. It accepts 100–305VAC input, making it compatible with international project specifications.
What is the difference between the ELG-200-36 and ELG-200-36A?
Both deliver 199.8W at 36V DC with 5.55A output and share the same physical dimensions. The key difference is IP rating and adjustability: the ELG-200-36 is IP67 (waterproof, suitable for direct rain exposure), while the ELG-200-36A is IP65 (water-resistant, suitable for covered outdoor or indoor-wet locations) and includes an adjustable output trim. Choose IP67 for fully exposed outdoor use; choose the A variant when current adjustability is required in a protected location.
