Test conditions and notes13

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. 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.
3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
4. 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)
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 80℃ or less.
6. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
7. 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).
8. Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the CCC/PSE/BIS/KC logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
9. 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
10. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
11. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixture, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
12. If you need the NOM (Mexico) certificate, Please contact MEAN WELL sales representative for details.
13. Output current ripple is meansured at 230VAC input, full load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.

FAQ

Can the XLG-20-M power LED downlights in a commercial ceiling grid?

Yes. The XLG-20-M provides 21W at 500mA constant current with a 25–42V output range, suitable for mid-power LED downlight modules within that voltage band. Its IP67 rating also permits installation above damp-area ceilings where condensation may be present.

Is the XLG-20-M appropriate for driving LED modules in illuminated signage?

Yes. At 500mA and 21W with a 25–42V constant current range, it can drive LED signage modules whose forward voltage falls within that range. IP67 protection supports outdoor sign cabinets subject to rain or washdown.

Can I use the XLG-20-M for a small LED array in track lighting?

Yes, provided each LED array's combined forward voltage falls between 25.2V and 42V at a 500mA drive current. The driver's metal case and high efficiency (88.5% typical) limit heat dissipation in tight track fixtures.

What is the operating temperature range of the XLG-20-M, and can it be installed outdoors?

The XLG-20-M operates from –40°C to +80°C and carries an IP67 waterproof rating. It can be installed in outdoor enclosures exposed to rain, dust, and cold-climate temperatures.

Does the XLG-20-M support dimming?

No. The XLG-20-M (without a '-B' suffix) does not include built-in dimming circuitry. For dimming capability, the XLG-20-M-B variant adds 3-in-1 PWM, resistance, and 1–10V analog dimming support.

How many LEDs can be driven in series by the XLG-20-M?

The driver outputs 500mA over a constant current range of 25–42V. The number of series LEDs depends on each individual LED's forward voltage — no fixed count applies. Confirm the total string forward voltage is within 25–42V at 500mA.
