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. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 4. 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.
- 5. 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)
- 6. 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.
- 7. For OTP which triggered at light load/no load condition, proceed AC repower on to recovery.
- 8. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >62,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
- 9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 10. 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).
- 11. 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 HLG-120H-C700A for driving LED modules in recessed commercial downlights?
Yes. The HLG-120H-C700A delivers 700mA constant current at up to 150.5W with a CC voltage range of 107-215V. This current level is common for mid-power LED downlight modules. The adjustable output (A suffix) lets you tune the current via potentiometer to match the exact LED module rating for optimal brightness and efficiency.
Is the HLG-120H-C700A suitable for powering LED modules in small LED arrays or panel lights?
Yes. At 700mA and a voltage range of 107-215V, it can drive series strings of LEDs used in panel lights, troffers, or small LED arrays. The total number of LEDs in series depends on each LED's forward voltage — the string voltage must fall within 107-215V. The adjustable output helps you dial in the exact current your LEDs need.
Can the HLG-120H-C700A drive LED signage modules that require 700mA?
Yes. Many channel letter and signage LED modules are designed for 700mA drive current. The HLG-120H-C700A provides exactly that with a CC voltage range of 107-215V, accommodating various string lengths. The series' IP65/IP67 rating allows installation in sheltered outdoor sign enclosures, and the output adjustment potentiometer lets you fine-tune the current for different module brands.
Can I reduce the drive current of the HLG-120H-C700A below 700mA?
Yes. The A suffix indicates this model has a built-in potentiometer for output current adjustment. You can reduce the current from the nominal 700mA down to 350mA (adjustment range 350-700mA) to match your LED modules' specifications. This model does not include a dimming input — for remote dimming control, consider the C700B or C700AB.
Can the HLG-120H-C700A be mounted outdoors on a building exterior?
The HLG-120H-C series is rated IP65 or IP67 depending on version, protecting against dust and water jets. It is suitable for sheltered outdoor mounting such as under eaves, inside junction boxes, or in sign cabinets. The sheet notes a waterproof connector can be fitted to the output cable for outdoor use; follow the user manual's waterproof installation cautions.
How does the HLG-120H-C700A compare to the C350 and C500 current variants?
All HLG-120H constant current models deliver approximately 150W but at different current/voltage combinations. The C350 provides 350mA at 215-430V for long high-voltage strings. The C500 provides 500mA at 150-300V for medium-voltage strings. The C700A provides 700mA at 107-215V for shorter, higher-current strings. Choose based on your LED module's rated current and total string voltage.
