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 use the XLC-40-H to drive LED downlights in a commercial ceiling fixture?
Yes. The XLC-40-H is designed for built-in use, making it suitable for recessed or enclosed ceiling luminaires. It delivers up to 40W at a constant current of 1050mA, with a CC output voltage range of 9–54V to accommodate the LED array's forward voltage requirements.
Is the XLC-40-H suitable for powering LED signage modules?
Yes, the constant current output of 1050mA and wide CC voltage range of 9–54V make it compatible with series-configured LED signage modules. The driver accepts 100–305VAC input, so it works on both standard North American and international supply voltages.
Can I adjust the output current on the XLC-40-H?
Yes. Current is set via the onboard dip switch, and the adjustment range spans 0.6A to 1.4A. This lets you tune the drive current to match the LED load without needing an external resistor or controller.
Does the XLC-40-H support flicker-free operation for office or retail lighting?
Yes, the XLC-40-H is specified as flicker-free (PstLM ≤ 1, SVM ≤ 0.4), making it appropriate for office, retail, and other occupied spaces where light flicker can cause discomfort or fail photobiological safety requirements.
How many LEDs can I connect to the XLC-40-H?
The driver operates in constant current mode with a CC voltage range of 9–54V. The number of LEDs in the series string depends on each LED's forward voltage; there is no fixed count. Ensure the combined forward voltages of your series string fall within 9–54V at your chosen drive current.
Is the XLC-40-H rated for use in hot environments or inside enclosed luminaire housings?
The operating temperature range is -25°C to +90°C. It is specified for built-in use, meaning it can be mounted inside luminaire enclosures. Ensure adequate thermal management so the case temperature stays within the rated range.
How does the XLC-40-H differ from the XLC-25-H and XLC-60-H siblings?
All three are constant power, high-voltage CC variants in the XLC series with the same 60V max output voltage. The XLC-40-H delivers 40W at 1050mA. Choose based on the total wattage and drive current your LED load requires.
