Test conditions and notes10
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage, please check the static characteristic for more details.
- 5. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 6. The power supply 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)
- 7. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- 8. 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.
- 9. 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).
- 10. 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

FAQ
Can I use the PLN-20-36 for 36V LED strip or linear lighting?
It can be used with 36V lighting loads up to 19.8W and 0.55A, provided the load fits the 27-36V constant-current range. For strip or linear lighting, verify the product is designed to work with constant-current output before choosing this driver.
Is the PLN-20-36 suitable for narrow signage or slim lightbox lighting?
Yes, it can suit this kind of signage. Its 36V output and 19.8W rating make it a fit for smaller compatible sign or lightbox lighting loads.
Can this driver be used for compact 36V architectural accent lighting?
It can support compact 36V lighting loads that stay within 19.8W and 0.55A. The IP64 enclosure also helps where dust and splashing water are part of the operating environment.
How do I calculate the maximum 36V LED strip length for the PLN-20-36?
Use the formula 19.8W divided by your strip's rated watts per meter. Check your strip rated power per meter, and confirm the strip is a 36V load compatible with this driver's constant-current operation.
Can the PLN-20-36 handle outdoor conditions?
Its IP64 rating indicates protection against dust and splashing water, so it is suited to tougher environments than a non-enclosed driver. The ambient temperature still needs to remain within the specified -30°C to +60°C range.
