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).
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-185H-C700A to drive high-voltage LED string arrays for commercial signage?

Yes. The HLG-185H-C700A delivers a constant 700mA across a CC voltage range of 143-286V, making it well suited for long series strings of LEDs used in channel letters and large signage modules. The number of LEDs you can drive depends on each LED's forward voltage; the total forward voltage of the string must fall within the 143-286V range.

Is the HLG-185H-C700A suitable for powering high-bay LED downlights in a warehouse?

Yes. At 200.2W and 700mA constant current, this driver can power high-output LED downlight or high-bay fixtures whose combined forward voltage falls within 143-286V. The adjustable output lets you fine-tune the current to match your fixture's optimal operating point.

Can the HLG-185H-C700A power LED modules in an outdoor illuminated sign?

Yes. The series is rated IP65 or IP67, protecting against dust and water jets, making it suitable for covered or semi-exposed outdoor sign installations. The 200.2W output at 700mA handles medium-to-large LED sign arrays whose series string voltage falls within 143-286V.

How many LEDs can I run in series with the HLG-185H-C700A?

The exact number depends on each LED's forward voltage. The driver operates in constant current mode at 700mA with a CC voltage range of 143-286V, so you need to sum the forward voltages of your LEDs and confirm the total falls within that range. The adjustable output allows you to trim the operating point for your specific LED string.

Can the HLG-185H-C700A be mounted in an outdoor enclosure exposed to rain?

The HLG-185H-C series is rated IP65 or IP67, which protects against dust ingress and water jets. It is appropriate for outdoor locations such as soffits, ventilated enclosures, or covered canopies. For installation cautions on waterproofing, refer to MEAN WELL's user manual, and use waterproof connectors on the cables.

What does the 'A' suffix mean on the HLG-185H-C700A compared to the AB and B versions?

The HLG-185H-C700A includes a built-in potentiometer for output current adjustment but has no dimming signal input. The -C700AB adds both adjustment and a 1-10V/PWM dimming input. The -C700B provides a dimming input only, without the adjustment potentiometer. All three share the same 200.2W, 700mA, 143-286V core specs.
