Test conditions and notes15
- 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 80℃ 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
- 14. For AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
- 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-150H-12AB with a 0-10V dimmer to control 12V LED strip brightness?
Yes, as long as the dimmer supplies a 1-10V signal. The HLG-150H-12AB supports dimming via 1-10VDC, 10V PWM, and resistance signals between DIM+ and DIM-. Combined with the adjustable output potentiometer, you get both baseline tuning and dynamic scene-based brightness control for 12V LED strips up to 150W.
Is the HLG-150H-12AB suitable for dimmable 12V LED retail display lighting?
It is an excellent choice for retail environments where you need adjustable and dimmable 12V LED lighting. The potentiometer sets the baseline output, while the dimming input allows smooth brightness changes for different display scenes. At 150W it can handle substantial retail lighting arrays.
Can I power a 12V dimmable LED light box with the HLG-150H-12AB?
Yes, provided the light box draws 150W or less. The HLG-150H-12AB delivers 12V at up to 12.5A and its dimming input lets you reduce brightness for ambient settings or to save energy. The adjustable potentiometer also helps you fine-tune the output to match the exact LED module requirements.
Can I use the HLG-150H-12AB for a dimmable 12V LED cove lighting installation in a hospitality setting?
Yes. Hospitality cove lighting benefits from both the adjustable output and dimming capabilities of the HLG-150H-12AB. You can set the operating point via the potentiometer and then pair with a 1-10V or PWM dimming controller for scene changes. Total LED load must stay within 150W at 12V.
How many meters of 12V LED strip can the HLG-150H-12AB drive?
The HLG-150H-12AB supplies up to 150W at 12V. Divide 150W by your strip's rated wattage per meter to find the maximum run. For instance, a strip rated at 9.6W/m could run approximately 15.6 meters (150W / 9.6W per meter). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep total load within 150W.
Can the HLG-150H-12AB be mounted outdoors?
The HLG-150H-12AB is rated IP65 water-resistant, which protects against dust and low-pressure water jets. It is suitable for sheltered outdoor locations such as under eaves, in ventilated enclosures, or inside sign cabinets. For fully exposed or submerged environments, the IP67-rated HLG-150H-12B with dimming capability would be a better fit.
