Test conditions and notes12
- 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 characteristics for more details.
- 5. Output voltage can be adjusted through the SVR1 on the PCB ; limit of output constant current level can be adjusted through the SVR2 on the PCB.
- 6. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 7. 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)
- 8. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- 9. 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.
- 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. This product is not suitable for LED lighting applications in China.(It is recommended to use the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series in China)

FAQ
Can I use the PLN-45-36 for a 36V LED strip or lighting system?
Yes, if the 36V lighting load stays within 45W maximum power and 1.25A maximum output current. The unit operates in constant current mode with a 27-36V range, so the lighting product should be checked for electrical compatibility.
Is the PLN-45-36 suitable for 36V signage lighting?
It can be used for 36V signage applications that require no more than 45W total output. The IP64 enclosure helps in dusty or splash-prone locations.
Can this 36V driver be used for commercial or industrial lighting runs?
Yes, for 36V lighting loads within the 45W and 1.25A limits. The wide 90-295VAC input range and -30°C to +50°C operating temperature range are useful where site power and ambient conditions vary.
How much 36V LED strip can the PLN-45-36 run?
The maximum available output is 45W. To estimate maximum strip length, divide 45W by your strip's rated watts per meter, then confirm the strip is a 36V product and that total current stays at or below 1.25A; check your strip rated power per meter.
Is the PLN-45-36 appropriate for outdoor environments?
It is IP64 rated, so it is intended for dust exposure and splashing water rather than immersion. The specified operating temperature range is -30°C to +50°C, which supports use in cold and hot outdoor conditions within that range.
