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 75℃ 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).

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-185H-C1400AB for dimmable high-power LED downlight arrays?
Yes. The HLG-185H-C1400AB provides 1400mA constant current across a 71-143V range and includes both output adjustment and 1-10V/PWM dimming input. This combination makes it well suited for commercial downlight strings where both current trimming and smooth brightness control are needed.
Is the HLG-185H-C1400AB a good choice for dimmable LED grow lights?
Yes. Its 1400mA output with 200.2W capacity can drive high-power horticultural LEDs, and the dimming input allows you to adjust light intensity for different growth stages. The adjustable output potentiometer lets you fine-tune current to your specific LED modules, and the series' IP65 or IP67 rating and 10-95% RH non-condensing working humidity suit grow-room conditions.
Can this driver power series-connected LED COB fixtures with dimming in a retail space?
Yes. Configure your COB fixtures in series so the total forward voltage stays within 71-143V, and ensure each COB is rated for 1400mA. The AB model's dimming input integrates with standard retail lighting control systems for scene setting and energy management. At 200.2W, it handles substantial fixture loads.
How does the HLG-185H-C1400AB differ from the C1400A and C1400B?
All three share the same 200.2W, 1400mA, 71-143V constant-current specs. The C1400A has only an output adjustment potentiometer. The C1400B has only a dimming input (1-10V/PWM). The C1400AB combines both features, giving you manual current trimming and external dimming control in one unit.
Can I mount the HLG-185H-C1400AB outdoors under a building canopy?
Yes. The series' IP65 or IP67 rating protects against dust ingress and water jets from any angle, making canopy or soffit mounting suitable. It is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, with load derating at high temperatures per the derating curve.
How many LEDs can the HLG-185H-C1400AB drive in a series string?
That depends on each LED's forward voltage at 1400mA. The driver's compliance range is 71-143V, so divide the available voltage by the per-LED forward voltage. For instance, LEDs with a 36V forward voltage would allow up to 3 in series (3 x 36V = 108V, within range). Always verify your LED specifications to keep the total string voltage between 71V and 143V.
