Test conditions and notes10
- 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. 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.
- 8. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- 9. 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-C1400B to drive high-power LED downlights in a commercial ceiling?
Yes. The HLG-240H-C1400B delivers a constant 1400mA across a CC voltage range of 89-179V, giving it up to 250.6W of capacity. This is well suited for driving multiple high-power LED downlight modules wired in series, provided their combined forward voltage falls within 89-179V. The built-in dimming input lets you integrate with a building management system for brightness control.
Is the HLG-240H-C1400B suitable for powering large LED signage arrays?
Yes, as long as the total string forward voltage stays within the 89-179V CC range. At 1400mA and up to 250.6W, the driver can handle high-brightness LED signage modules wired in series. The series is rated IP65 or IP67 depending on type for sheltered outdoor mounting, and the dimming input enables nighttime brightness reduction to comply with local signage ordinances.
Can I dim the HLG-240H-C1400B and what dimming methods does it support?
Yes. The B suffix indicates it accepts 1-10V analog or PWM dimming signals. This lets you reduce LED brightness smoothly from 100% down to a low dim level using a compatible wall dimmer or automation controller. There is no built-in output adjustment potentiometer on the B variant, so the base output current is fixed at 1400mA before dimming.
How many LEDs can the HLG-240H-C1400B drive in a series string?
That depends on each LED's forward voltage at 1400mA. The driver's CC voltage range is 89-179V, so you need enough LEDs in series to reach at least 89V total forward voltage, but no more than 179V. For example, with LEDs that have a 36V forward voltage, you could run roughly 3 to 4 in series (108-144V). Always calculate based on your specific LED datasheet values.
Can the HLG-240H-C1400B be mounted outdoors on a building canopy?
Yes. The HLG-240H-C series is rated IP65 or IP67 depending on type, protecting against dust and water. A sheltered canopy or soffit mounting location is appropriate; check the IP rating of your specific type and follow MEAN WELL's IP installation cautions in the user manual. It operates over a case temperature (Tcase) range of -40°C to +90°C, with output derating at high ambient temperatures.
What is the difference between the HLG-240H-C1400A, C1400AB, and C1400B variants?
All three share the same 250.6W, 1400mA constant-current output with a CC voltage range of 89-179V and the same 244.2 x 68 x 38.8mm case. The -C1400A adds an output current adjustment potentiometer. The -C1400AB combines the potentiometer with a 3-in-1 dimming input (1-10VDC, 10V PWM or resistance). The -C1400B has the dimming input only, with no potentiometer.
