Test conditions and notes9
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 3. 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)
- 4. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃ or less.
- 5. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixture, this LED drive can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 6. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 7. 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).
- 8. 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
- 9. For A/AB/ADA 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 HBGC-300-M-A for medium-voltage LED downlight arrays?
Yes, if the downlight array is a constant-current design that operates within the 58-116V CC range. This driver is rated at 301.6W, so it suits larger LED loads than small constant-voltage power supplies. It is not the right choice for 12V or 24V constant-voltage downlights.
Is the HBGC-300-M-A a good fit for LED signage modules in a mid-voltage series configuration?
It can be, provided the signage load is constant current and its total forward voltage falls between 58V and 116V. The exact number of LEDs or modules depends on the forward voltage of each one, so there is no single LED count for this driver. Its 301.6W capacity supports higher-power assemblies within that voltage window.
Can this model power a compact LED array used in commercial lighting equipment?
Yes, when the LED array is built for constant-current operation and the array voltage stays within 58-116V. Its adjustable output current (1300-4330mA) makes this version suitable where output adjustment is needed at the driver level. It is not intended for constant-voltage LED loads.
What should I check before pairing the HBGC-300-M-A with an LED load?
The main checks are constant-current operation, a forward-voltage requirement inside 58-116V, and total load power within 301.6W. The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so sizing should be done from the load's voltage characteristics instead of a fixed LED count. If the product expects a fixed DC voltage, use a constant-voltage supply instead.
How does the HBGC-300-M-A compare with other HBGC-300 series current ranges?
Within the 301.6W HBGC-300 family, the H versions use a 29-58V CC range at 5600mA, the M versions use a 58-116V CC range at 2800mA, and the L versions use a 116-232V CC range at 1400mA. This HBGC-300-M-A is the adjustable M-range option. AB adds dimming, and ADA adds DALI dimming.
