Test conditions and notes11

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

FAQ

Can I use the HBG-160-36 for a 36V LED sign or illuminated display?

It can fit a 36V lighting load if the fixture stays within 158.4W and 4.4A. The IP67 waterproof rating also makes it suitable for outdoor or wet-location lighting applications.

Is the HBG-160-36 a good match for a 36V high bay or low bay fixture?

Yes, the series is specified for high/low bay light use, and this model provides 36V output up to 158.4W. The connected load should operate within the 21.6-36V constant current range.

Can this 36V driver be used for outdoor architectural lighting?

It can be used with a compatible 36V lighting load up to 158.4W. Its IP67 waterproof enclosure and -40°C to +85°C case temperature (Tcase) range support exposed outdoor conditions when the fixture matches the 36V output or the 21.6-36V CC range.

How much 36V LED strip can the HBG-160-36 support?

Use the strip-length formula 158.4W divided by the strip's rated watts per meter. For example, maximum length = 158.4 ÷ strip W/m, but check your strip rated power per meter and confirm it is a 36V load within 158.4W and 4.4A.

Is the HBG-160-36 suitable for wet or outdoor installations?

Yes, this model is rated IP67 waterproof for dust-tight and wet-location use. It is also specified for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +85°C, which helps in harsher environments.

What are the differences between the HBG-160 24V, 36V, 48V, and 60V models?

The HBG-160-24 is 156W at 6.5A with a 14.4-24V CC range, while the HBG-160-36 is 158.4W at 4.4A with a 21.6-36V CC range. The HBG-160-48 is 158.4W at 3.3A with a 28.8-48V CC range, and the HBG-160-60 is 156W at 2.6A with a 36-60V CC range.
