Test conditions and notes12
- 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. 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 70℃ 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. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can I use the ELG-75-36 to power 36V LED strips or modules?
Yes. The ELG-75-36 is designed for 36V LED loads and delivers up to 75.6W at 2.1A on 200–305VAC input (60W on 100–180VAC). It is well suited for 36V LED strip or module systems, including longer runs that benefit from the lower current at higher voltage compared to 12V or 24V alternatives.
Is the ELG-75-36 waterproof enough for outdoor sign or facade lighting?
Yes. The ELG-75 series is rated IP65 or IP67, making it appropriate for outdoor signs, architectural lighting, and facade installations; follow MEAN WELL's IP installation cautions in the user manual. Its case-temperature rating of -40°C to +85°C supports reliable outdoor operation.
How many meters of 36V LED strip can the ELG-75-36 support?
The ELG-75-36 provides 75.6W at 36V on 200–305VAC input (60W on 100–180VAC). If your strip is rated at 10W/m, that allows approximately 7.5 meters; at 14.4W/m (dense COB or high-output strip), the limit is about 5.2 meters. Verify your strip's watt-per-meter spec and keep total load within the rated power.
Can the ELG-75-36 be used for 36V LED modules in channel letter or backlit signage?
Yes. Channel letter and backlit sign modules rated at 36V are a common application. The series' IP65/IP67 rating also makes the driver suitable for externally mounted sign enclosures where moisture could be present.
Does the ELG-75-36 work on both 120V and 240V mains?
Yes. The 100–305VAC universal input covers both 120V and 240V circuits, as well as 277V US commercial circuits, without any manual switching or rewiring. Rated power is 60W on 100–180VAC and 75.6W on 200–305VAC.
Is the ELG-75-36 a good fit for indoor horticultural LED lighting at 36V?
Yes. Some COB and LED grow-light modules use 36V, and the ELG-75-36 can supply up to 75.6W (60W on 100–180VAC) to such loads. Its IP65/IP67-rated case and 20–95% RH (non-condensing) working humidity rating suit humid indoor growing environments.
How does the ELG-75-36 differ from the ELG-75-36A and ELG-75-36AB?
All three models share 75.6W, 36V, and 2.1A output, but differ in control: the base ELG-75-36 has fixed output with no adjustment; the ELG-75-36A adds a built-in potentiometer for output voltage (32.4–39.6V) and current (1.05–2.1A); and the ELG-75-36AB adds both the potentiometer and 3-in-1 dimming (0–10V, 10V PWM, resistance). The datasheet notes that A/AB types need to be built in to comply with Type HL application. Choose the base model when no adjustment or dimming is required.
