Test conditions and notes11
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 3. 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)
- 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. 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.
- 6. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixture, this LED drive can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 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. Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the PSE/CCC/BIS/KC logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
- 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
- 11. For A/AB type need to consider build-in using or filling the Io adjusting hole with the potting compound to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can I use the XBG-160-AB for LED downlights that need a constant current driver?
Yes, if the downlight array is designed for a constant current driver at 3300mA and operates within the 34-56V constant current range. This is a 160W constant current model, not a constant voltage power supply, so it should be matched to downlights built for CC operation rather than fixed-voltage LED strips or bars.
Is the XBG-160-AB suitable for powering signage LED modules?
It can be suitable for signage modules when the module string is a constant current load rated for 3300mA and its total forward voltage stays within 34-56V. Because this driver is IP67 waterproof and accepts 90-305VAC input, it fits signage projects where environmental exposure and wide AC input range matter.
Can this driver run a small LED array for high-output lighting?
Yes, if the LED array is specified for constant current operation at 3300mA and the array voltage falls inside the 34-56V CC window. With 160W output and a maximum output voltage of 60V, it is intended for higher-power LED arrays rather than low-power constant voltage lighting products.
How do I know if my LED load is compatible with the XBG-160-AB?
The key check is whether your LED load is a constant current design that requires 3300mA and operates within the 34-56V constant current output range. The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so compatibility is determined by the total forward voltage of the array, not by a fixed LED count.
How does the XBG-160-AB compare with other XBG series siblings?
Within this group, the 100W models are XBG-100-A, XBG-100-A-C, XBG-100-AB, and XBG-100-AB-C. The 160W models are XBG-160-A, XBG-160-A-C, XBG-160-AB, and XBG-160-AB-C, each with a 34-56V CC range. The 240W models are XBG-240-A, XBG-240-A-C, XBG-240-AB, and XBG-240-AB-C.
