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
Can the ELG-200-36AB be installed in an outdoor LED sign enclosure exposed to weather?
The ELG-200-36AB carries an IP65 rating, protecting against low-pressure water jets and dust. It is suitable for enclosed outdoor sign cabinets where direct rain impact is avoided, but not for fully unprotected outdoor mounting where driving rain or submersion is possible. For those applications, the IP67-rated ELG-200-36B would be more appropriate.
What dimming interfaces does the ELG-200-36AB support?
The AB type supports 3-in-1 dimming: 0–10VDC, 10V PWM signal, and resistance control, plus output voltage and current adjustment via a built-in potentiometer. This makes it compatible with common 0–10V and PWM lighting controllers and building automation interfaces, which is useful in retail, hospitality, or architectural lighting projects.
Can the ELG-200-36AB power a dynamic architectural LED strip installation where brightness needs to vary?
Yes. With 199.8W at 36V, 5.55A output, and built-in 3-in-1 dimming plus adjustable output current, this driver suits dynamic lighting designs where the integrator needs both output trimming and real-time dimming control. It works with 36V LED strips used in cove, perimeter, or accent lighting schemes.
How much 36V LED strip length can the ELG-200-36AB support?
The driver delivers 199.8W at 5.55A. For a 36V strip rated at 20 W/m, you can run approximately 10 m per driver (199.8 W ÷ 20 W/m). For a 15 W/m strip, that extends to about 13.3 m. Verify your strip's rated power per meter and apply a 10–20% derating margin.
Is the ELG-200-36AB appropriate for museum or gallery LED strip lighting requiring precise light level control?
Yes. The combination of adjustable output current and 3-in-1 dimming enables very fine brightness control suitable for display and conservation lighting. The metal enclosure and >50,000-hour typical life expectancy (at Tcase about 70°C or less) meet the reliability expectations of institutional projects, and the wide input range of 100–305VAC supports international installations.
What operating temperature range does the ELG-200-36AB support?
The ELG-200-36AB is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C. In ambient terms, at rated current in constant-current mode it can work up to 60°C, with load derating per the output load vs temperature curve. This covers most indoor and covered outdoor environments, though the IP65 rating limits it to protected locations rather than direct outdoor exposure.
