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-C700B to drive dimmable LED floodlights in an outdoor setting?
Yes. The HLG-185H-C700B provides 700mA constant current at up to 200.2W with a built-in 1-10V/PWM dimming input for brightness control. The series is rated IP65 or IP67 and suits outdoor locations such as building facades, canopies, and covered parking areas where the fixture's forward voltage falls within 143-286V.
Is the HLG-185H-C700B suitable for powering LED street light or area light fixtures?
Yes, provided the fixture's total forward voltage falls within the 143-286V CC range. At 200.2W and 700mA, the driver handles medium-power street lights and area lights. The dimming input allows integration with smart lighting controllers for scheduled dimming or motion-based brightness adjustment.
Can the HLG-185H-C700B power LED modules in backlit channel letter signs with dimming?
Yes. The 700mA constant current output drives series LED module strings whose combined forward voltage falls between 143V and 286V. The dimming input lets you program day and night brightness levels. However, this model does not include an output adjustment potentiometer; if you need that, use the HLG-185H-C700AB instead.
What LED configurations are compatible with the HLG-185H-C700B?
The driver supplies a constant 700mA with a CC voltage range of 143-286V. Your LED string's total forward voltage must fall within that range. The exact number of LEDs depends on each LED's individual forward voltage. The driver automatically adjusts its output voltage to match the load within the rated range.
Does the HLG-185H-C700B handle dust and moisture in an industrial environment?
Yes. The series is rated IP65 or IP67, so the enclosure is dust-tight and protected against water jets. This makes it suitable for factories, warehouses, and covered industrial areas. It is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C and 10-95% RH non-condensing, with load derating at high temperatures per the derating curve.
