Test conditions and notes11
- 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. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 4. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 5. 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)
- 6. 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.
- 7. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- 8. 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).
- 9. 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
- 10. 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.
- 11. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can I use the ELG-240-C1400DA to drive LED downlights in a commercial building?
Yes. The ELG-240-C1400DA delivers a constant 1400mA across a CC voltage range of 86–171V, making it well suited for series strings of high-power LED downlights used in commercial or retail spaces. The ELG-240-C series carries an IP65 or IP67 rating, so it also suits ceiling voids or damp service areas.
Is the ELG-240-C1400DA suitable for outdoor LED signage?
Yes. The ELG-240-C series is rated IP65 or IP67, sealed against dust and water, so the driver can be mounted inside outdoor sign cabinets exposed to rain or high humidity. The case temperature (Tcase) rating of -40°C to +85°C supports operation in most outdoor climates.
Can this driver power LED arrays installed in wet or washdown environments?
Yes. The ELG-240-C series is IP65- or IP67-rated against dust and water, so the ELG-240-C1400DA is appropriate for wet-location LED arrays such as those used in food-processing facilities, car washes, or covered outdoor walkways rated for water exposure.
What LED load voltage range is compatible with this driver?
The ELG-240-C1400DA operates in constant current mode and its output voltage adjusts automatically between 86V and 171V to maintain a steady 1400mA output. The number of LEDs you can connect in series depends on the forward voltage of each LED; the driver will regulate current as long as the combined string voltage falls within that 86–171V window.
How does DALI dimming work on the ELG-240-C1400DA?
The DA suffix indicates built-in DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) dimming. A DALI controller on the same two-wire bus can dim this driver from 100% down to low levels, enabling scene control and integration with building automation systems without additional dimming hardware.
Can the ELG-240-C1400DA be used in cold-storage or freezer lighting applications?
Yes. The driver is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) down to -40°C, which covers standard commercial freezer and cold-room temperatures. Combined with the series' IP65/IP67 sealing, it is a practical choice for LED fixtures installed inside refrigerated warehouses or blast-freeze tunnels.
How does the ELG-240-C1400DA compare to other 240W constant-current variants in the ELG-240 family?
Within the ELG-240 CC range, the C700 variant outputs 700mA, C1050 outputs 1050mA, C1400 outputs 1400mA, C1750 outputs 1750mA, and C2100 outputs 2100mA — all at roughly 240W. The C1400DA specifically adds DALI dimming; other suffix variants offer adjustable output (A), 3-in-1 dimming (B), or both (AB).
