Test conditions and notes12

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 cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
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. For A/AB type need to consider build-in using or filling the Io adjusting hole with the potting compound to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can I use the Mean Well HBG-160-24AB for 24V LED strip lighting?

Yes, this LED driver is designed for 24V output and can supply up to 156W at 6.5A. For 24V LED strip projects, add up the total strip wattage and keep it within 156W. It is also IP65 water-resistant, so it can fit indoor or outdoor lighting applications where moisture resistance is needed.

Is the HBG-160-24AB a good choice for LED signage or channel letter lighting?

It can be a fit for 24V LED signage systems that need up to 156W total load. The 24V output, 6.5A output current, and IP65 water-resistant housing make it suitable for signage environments where dust or water exposure is a concern. Confirm the sign lighting load stays within 156W and matches the 24V requirement.

Can this power supply be used for high bay or low bay LED lighting?

Yes, this model is intended for high and low bay light use and has a circular ψ151.68mm housing. It delivers 156W at 24V and operates in constant voltage or constant current mode with a 14.4-24V CC voltage range. Make sure the fixture is designed for a 24V driver within that operating range.

How much 24V LED strip can I run from the HBG-160-24AB?

This driver provides up to 156W, so the maximum supported strip length depends on your strip's rated power per meter. The sizing math is: 156W divided by your strip watts per meter equals the maximum meters. Check your strip rated power per meter and keep the total load at or below 156W.

Is the Mean Well HBG-160-24AB suitable for outdoor or wet locations?

It is IP65 water-resistant, which makes it suitable for environments where water spray and dust resistance are important. Its case temperature (Tcase) range is -40°C to +85°C, so it is built for demanding conditions. Final suitability depends on the overall enclosure and whether your application requires more than IP65 water resistance.

What is the difference between the HBG-160-24AB and other HBG-160 series models?

Within the HBG-160 family, the 24V versions are rated at 156W with a 14.4-24V constant current range, the 36V versions are rated at 158.4W with a 21.6-36V range, the 48V versions are rated at 158.4W with a 28.8-48V range, and the 60V versions are rated at 156W with a 36-60V range. The HBG-160-24AB is the 24V AB version in that series. Model selection should be based on the output voltage and constant current range your fixture requires.
