Test conditions and notes14

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".
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. No load/standby power consumption is specified for 230VAC input.
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. 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.
10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
11. 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).
12. 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
13. 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.
14. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can the ELG-240-36A be used to trim output voltage for 36V LED strip installed in a retail storefront window display?

Yes. The 'A' suffix indicates a built-in potentiometer that allows output voltage adjustment from 33.5 to 38.5V (and current from 3.33 to 6.66A). For retail display applications, this enables fine-tuning to compensate for cable drop across long strip runs or to dial in a specific brightness level without an external controller.

Is the ELG-240-36A appropriate for powering 36V LED strips in a covered outdoor architectural canopy?

Yes. The series' IP65/IP67 rating protects against dust and directed water spray, which suits covered outdoor environments such as building entrance canopies or porte-cocheres where direct rain is blocked but moisture is present. Avoid locations with submersion or flooding risk.

Can the ELG-240-36A power 36V LED modules in an outdoor decorative facade installation?

Yes. With 239.76W at 36V and IP65/IP67 protection against directed water spray, the driver handles the moisture and temperature exposure of facade-mounted or recessed architectural fixtures. The -40°C to +90°C case temperature range covers seasonal temperature variation in outdoor environments.

How many meters of 36V LED strip can the ELG-240-36A drive?

The ELG-240-36A outputs 239.76W at 36V with a 6.66A maximum current on 200–305VAC input (180W on 100–180VAC). For a 14.4 W/m strip, 239.76 ÷ 14.4 gives approximately 16.6 meters; for a 10 W/m strip, approximately 24 meters. Confirm your strip's rated wattage per meter; leaving about 20% headroom is a sensible margin.

Is the ELG-240-36A weatherproof enough for a partially exposed outdoor installation?

The ELG-240 series carries an IP65 or IP67 rating, which provides protection against dust and water jets from any direction. It is well suited for covered outdoor enclosures and weatherproof boxes; only an IP67 unit covers temporary submersion, so confirm the rating where pooling or standing water is possible.

How does the ELG-240-36A differ from the ELG-240-36?

Both models deliver 239.76W at 36V, 6.66A, and share identical dimensions. The ELG-240-36A includes a built-in potentiometer for output voltage and current adjustment. The ELG-240-36 has no output adjustment capability.
