Test conditions and notes14
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. De-rating may be need under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 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. 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.
- 6. Flicker is measured at full load with the light source provided by MEAN WELL.
- 7. To fulfill requirement of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 8. 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)
- 9. The ambient temperature de-rating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 10. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃ or less.
- 11. For XLC-S series: RCM is on a voluntary basis. Non IC classification Independent LED control gear is not suitable for residential installations. For XLC(except -S) series: RCM is on a voluntary basis and meets relevant IEC or AS/NZS standards complying with AS/NZS 4417.1.

FAQ
Can I set the drive current on the XLC-40-H-BN without opening the fixture after installation?
Yes. The XLC-40-H-BN uses NFC for current setting, allowing the output current to be programmed wirelessly through a luminaire housing using a compatible NFC programmer. This is particularly useful for in-situ adjustments on installed downlights or ceiling fixtures.
Is the XLC-40-H-BN appropriate for dimmable LED downlights in commercial offices?
Yes. It supports 3-in-1 dimming (0–10V, PWM, and resistance) and provides flicker-free constant current output at 1050mA. The NFC current-setting feature also allows output current to be adjusted between 0.6A and 1.4A without disassembling the fixture.
Can I use the XLC-40-H-BN in a recessed LED module array for museum or gallery lighting?
The driver is specified for built-in use and operates flicker-free at 1050mA with a 40W power envelope. It suits precision lighting applications where both stable current and dimming flexibility are needed. The 3-in-1 dimming input is compatible with widely used lighting controllers.
How does NFC current setting differ from dip switch setting on XLC-40-H siblings?
Models ending in -N or -BN use NFC to set current wirelessly, while standard -B and non-suffixed models use a physical dip switch. Both cover the same 0.6–1.4A adjustment range. NFC is preferred when the driver is embedded inside a sealed luminaire where physical switch access is impractical.
What CC voltage range must my LED string match for the XLC-40-H-BN?
The constant current output operates within a voltage range of 9–54V. LED strings must be sized so their total forward voltage at the selected drive current falls within this window. The number of LEDs in the string depends on the forward voltage of each individual LED.
What is the operating temperature range of the XLC-40-H-BN?
The driver is rated from -25°C to +90°C. It is designed for built-in use, so it should be mounted inside a luminaire enclosure. Thermal performance should be verified to keep case temperature within the rated range, especially in high-ambient installations.
