Test conditions and notes14
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 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. 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)
- 8. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 9. For OTP which triggered at light load/no load condition, proceed AC repower on to recovery.
- 10. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >62,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃ or less.
- 11. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 12. 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).
- 13. 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
- 15. Products sourced from the Americas regions may only have the UL, CE and UKCA logos. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-120H-36B with an external dimmer to control outdoor 36V LED strip brightness?
Yes. The HLG-120H-36B accepts 1-10V or PWM dimming signals, giving you smooth brightness control over connected 36V LED strips. Combined with its IP67 waterproof rating, it is well suited for dimmable outdoor lighting where the driver is exposed to rain, snow, or high humidity.
Is the HLG-120H-36B appropriate for a dimmable 36V LED facade or architectural lighting project?
Yes. At 122.4W and 36V with dimming capability, the HLG-120H-36B can power facade wash lights, cove lighting, or architectural accent fixtures that need brightness adjustment. The IP67 waterproof rating allows direct outdoor mounting, and the -40°C to +80°C case temperature (Tcase) rating covers extreme climate installations.
Can the HLG-120H-36B power dimmable 36V LED parking lot or pathway lights?
Yes. The 122.4W capacity at 36V, combined with the dimming input, lets you reduce light levels during off-peak hours to save energy. The IP67 waterproof rating and -40°C to +80°C case temperature (Tcase) rating make it suitable for fully exposed outdoor installations in parking areas or along walkways.
How many meters of 36V LED strip can the HLG-120H-36B power?
The HLG-120H-36B delivers up to 122.4W at 36V. Divide 122.4W by your strip's wattage per meter to get the maximum run length. For a strip rated at 10W/m, that would be about 12 meters (122.4W / 10W per meter = 12.2m). Always verify your strip's rated power per meter and stay at or below 122.4W total.
Can the HLG-120H-36B be buried in a ground-level junction box for landscape lighting?
It can be mounted in a ground-level junction box, but the sheet gives no burial rating. The IP67 rating covers temporary submersion up to 1 meter depth, not permanent submersion or direct burial. Its -40°C to +80°C case temperature (Tcase) rating handles freeze-thaw cycles as well.
