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. 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).
- 10. 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
- 11. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-240H-C2100AB for dimmable LED high-bay fixtures in a warehouse?
Yes. The HLG-240H-C2100AB outputs 2100mA constant current with a CC voltage range of 59-119V and up to 249.9W. The AB variant provides both a potentiometer for base current adjustment and a 1-10V/PWM dimming input for remote brightness control. This combination is ideal for warehouse high-bays connected to occupancy sensors or daylight harvesting systems.
Is the HLG-240H-C2100AB a good fit for a dimmable LED grow light with high-current COBs?
Yes. At 2100mA and 249.9W, it can drive high-current COB LEDs commonly used in horticultural lighting. The CC voltage range of 59-119V accommodates typical grow light series string voltages. The potentiometer sets maximum current, and the dimming input lets you vary intensity remotely for different growth stages.
Can the HLG-240H-C2100AB drive dimmable commercial LED downlights with building automation?
Yes, provided the downlight modules require approximately 2100mA and have a series forward voltage between 59V and 119V. The 3-in-1 dimming input accepts 1-10VDC, 10V PWM or resistance signals from building automation or lighting controllers. The adjustable potentiometer lets you set the peak current during commissioning to match the specific LED load.
What control options does the HLG-240H-C2100AB provide compared to the C2100A and C2100B?
The -C2100A includes only a potentiometer for manual output current adjustment. The -C2100B includes only a 1-10V/PWM dimming input for remote brightness control. The -C2100AB combines both: a potentiometer to set maximum current plus a dimming input for remote control. All three share the same 249.9W, 2100mA, 59-119V core specs and 244.2 x 68 x 38.8mm case.
Can the HLG-240H-C2100AB be installed outdoors under an awning?
Yes. The HLG-240H-C series is rated IP65 or IP67 depending on type, giving dust and water protection suitable for sheltered outdoor locations like awnings, covered walkways, or building overhangs. It operates over a case temperature (Tcase) range of -40°C to +90°C, with output derating at high ambient temperatures per the derating curve.
