Test conditions and notes13
- 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. 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.
- 10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- 11. 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-240H-15B for outdoor 15V LED strip lighting with dimming control?
Yes. The HLG-240H-15B outputs 15V at up to 15A (225W) with an IP67 waterproof rating, making it fully suitable for exposed outdoor LED strip installations. The B suffix means it includes a dimming input (1-10V/PWM), so you can use an external dimmer to adjust brightness without needing a separate dimming module.
Is the HLG-240H-15B suitable for powering large 15V LED channel letter signs?
Yes. With 225W at 15V, the HLG-240H-15B can drive substantial runs of 15V LED sign modules. The IP67 waterproof enclosure allows mounting inside outdoor sign cabinets, and the built-in dimming input lets you reduce brightness during nighttime hours to comply with local signage regulations.
Can the HLG-240H-15B power 15V LED flood lights for architectural facade washing?
Yes, provided the total LED load does not exceed 225W. The constant-current operation with a CC voltage range of 7.5-15V ensures stable drive for LED flood or wash fixtures. Its IP67 rating and -40°C to +90°C case temperature range make it well suited for permanent outdoor facade installations.
How many meters of 15V LED strip can the HLG-240H-15B support?
Divide 225W by your strip's rated power per meter. For example, a strip rated at 14W/m would allow about 16 meters (225W / 14W per meter = 16.07m). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep the total load at or below 225W.
Can I install the HLG-240H-15B in a location that floods or gets heavy rain?
Yes. The IP67 waterproof rating means it is protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary submersion. It can be mounted in fully exposed outdoor locations, including areas subject to heavy rain or snow; it is not intended for permanent submersion. Its case temperature range of -40°C to +90°C covers extreme climate conditions.
What are the differences between the HLG-240H-15, 15A, 15AB, and 15B models?
All four share the same 225W / 15V / 15A core output. The base HLG-240H-15 has fixed output with IP67 waterproof rating. The -15A adds an output adjustment potentiometer but drops to IP65. The -15AB adds both adjustment and 1-10V/PWM dimming input at IP65. The -15B (this model) provides dimming input while retaining the full IP67 waterproof rating.
