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-36B for fully exposed outdoor 36V LED strip installations?
Yes. The HLG-240H-36B carries an IP67 waterproof rating, which protects against dust ingress and temporary submersion. Combined with its -40°C to +90°C case temperature range and metal housing, it can be mounted in fully exposed outdoor locations including rain and snow.
Is the HLG-240H-36B suitable for dimmable 36V LED facade or wash lighting?
Yes. The B suffix provides a dimming input that accepts 1-10V or PWM signals from external dimmers or lighting controllers. At 240W and 36V, it can drive substantial architectural wash or flood lighting arrays while allowing brightness control from a central system.
Can I power a 36V LED sign outdoors with the HLG-240H-36B?
Yes. The IP67 waterproof rating makes it ideal for outdoor sign enclosures, pole-mounted signs, and monument signs. With 240W at 36V and 6.7A, it can handle large-format signage with 36V LED modules. The wide 90-305VAC input accommodates varying mains voltages across regions.
Can the HLG-240H-36B handle cold-climate outdoor installations?
Yes. Its case temperature (Tcase) rating of -40°C to +90°C covers extreme cold climates. The IP67 waterproof enclosure prevents moisture damage from snow and ice, and the fanless metal housing cools by free air convection.
How many meters of 36V LED strip can the HLG-240H-36B drive?
Divide 240W by your strip's wattage per meter. For instance, a 36V strip rated at 10W/m would allow 24 meters (240W / 10W per meter = 24m). A higher-density strip at 20W/m would allow 12 meters. Always check your strip's rated power per meter and stay within 240W total.
Can the HLG-240H-36B be buried in-ground or submerged for landscape lighting?
The IP67 rating protects against temporary submersion, so it can withstand brief immersion. However, it is not designed for permanent submersion. For in-ground installation, use a sealed junction box rated for burial to ensure long-term reliability.
