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 the HBG-240-36A be used for 36V linear or area lighting indoors or under cover?
Yes, it provides 36V output with up to 240W and 6.7A for larger 36V lighting loads. As part of the IP65 or IP67 approved HBG-240 series, it is a practical choice where the driver may see dust or splashing water.
Is this driver suitable for 36V LED strip lighting in commercial display or signage work?
It can be used where the lighting load is designed for 36V and the total demand stays within 240W. The 6.7A output gives capacity for larger 36V lighting projects.
Can the HBG-240-36A be used for high bay or low bay LED fixtures?
Yes, the series is shown for high bay light installation, and this model supplies 240W at 36V. Its round Ø191.5mm housing with hanger or chain mounting aligns with that type of lighting fixture.
How much 36V LED strip can I size on the HBG-240-36A?
Maximum strip length is calculated as 240W divided by your strip's watts per meter. This unit provides up to 240W at 36V and 6.7A, but check your strip rated power per meter before final sizing.
Is the HBG-240-36A okay for outdoor use?
The HBG-240 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, but the sheet text does not state which rating this A version carries. Confirm the rating before using it in fully exposed wet locations.
