Test conditions and notes13

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE". For DA-Type, Constant Current region is 60%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
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. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
6. 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.
7. 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)
8. 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.
9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
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. 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.
13. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can the ELG-100-48B be used for outdoor LED strip lighting exposed to rain?

Yes. The ELG-100-48B is rated IP67, meaning it is protected against temporary immersion in water and is fully dust-tight. It is well suited for outdoor LED strip runs on building facades, signage, or landscape lighting where direct rain exposure is expected; follow the IP installation cautions in MEAN WELL's user manual.

Can I use the ELG-100-48B to power 48V LED strips in an outdoor advertising sign?

Yes. The ELG-100-48B's IP67 waterproof rating and 96W output make it a good fit for outdoor advertising signs using 48V LED strips. It is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, handling wide temperature swings common in outdoor signage enclosures, with load derating at high temperatures.

How long a 48V LED strip run can the ELG-100-48B support?

The ELG-100-48B outputs a maximum of 96W on 200–305VAC input (70W on 100–180VAC, e.g. 120VAC). To estimate run length, divide the wattage by your strip's rated power per meter. At 96W, an 8 W/m strip allows up to 12 m per driver; a 14 W/m strip allows approximately 6.8 m. Always check your strip's rated power per meter and derate by at least 10%.

Is the ELG-100-48B suitable for 48V LED wall-wash lighting on an exterior building surface?

Yes. The IP67 rating protects the driver against rain and dust, and the -40°C to +90°C case temperature rating accommodates the thermal extremes of exterior installations. The 96W capacity supports typical 48V LED wall-wash strip runs in commercial facade projects.

Can I use the ELG-100-48B with a 0-10V dimmer system?

Yes. The B suffix on Mean Well ELG drivers indicates a 3-in-1 dimming interface (0-10VDC, 10V PWM at 100Hz–3KHz, and resistance dimming). The ELG-100-48B supports dimming through these methods, making it compatible with 0-10V building automation systems and controllers that output a 10V PWM signal.

What is the difference between the ELG-100-48A and ELG-100-48B?

Both are 48V, 2A, 96W drivers in the same physical package. The ELG-100-48A (IP65) has an output voltage/current adjustment potentiometer but no external dimming interface. The ELG-100-48B (IP67) adds a 3-in-1 dimming interface (0-10V, PWM, resistance) and has a higher IP67 waterproof rating. Choose the A variant for basic output adjustment and the B variant when dimming control or full waterproofing is needed.
