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-C700A to drive a long series string of LEDs for signage?

Yes. The HLG-240H-C700A outputs 700mA constant current with an exceptionally wide CC voltage range of 178-357V, allowing very long series strings of LED modules. This is well suited for large channel-letter signs or long linear LED arrays where many modules are wired in series. The adjustable output lets you reduce current to match your specific LED requirements.

Is the HLG-240H-C700A suitable for driving high-voltage LED street light modules?

Yes, provided the street light module requires approximately 700mA and has a forward voltage within 178-357V. At 249.9W, it can power substantial street or area lighting LED arrays. The series is rated IP65 or IP67 depending on type, and the adjustable output potentiometer lets you fine-tune the drive current during commissioning.

Can the HLG-240H-C700A power a series string of LED downlights in a commercial space?

Yes. The high CC voltage range (178-357V) lets you wire many LED downlight modules in series on a single driver, simplifying wiring in long corridors or large open floor plans. At 700mA and up to 249.9W, the driver maintains consistent brightness across the entire string. The adjustable output accommodates variations in module forward voltage.

Why would I choose the HLG-240H-C700A over a higher-current variant like the C2100A?

The C700A at 700mA and 178-357V suits LED loads with high total forward voltage and lower current draw, such as many LEDs wired in a long series string. The C2100A at 2100mA and 59-119V suits fewer LEDs that each need higher current. Both deliver approximately 250W total. Choose based on your LED module's rated current and the series string voltage.

Is the HLG-240H-C700A safe to install outdoors on a pole or building exterior?

The HLG-240H-C series is rated IP65 or IP67 depending on type, giving dust and water protection for pole-mounted or wall-mounted outdoor installations in sheltered or semi-exposed locations. Check the 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.

Does the output voltage of 360V on the HLG-240H-C700A pose any special safety concerns?

Yes. Its constant current region reaches up to 357V and the open-circuit voltage can be as high as 360V, so the output wiring and connections must be treated as hazardous voltage. Proper insulation, enclosed wiring, and compliance with local electrical codes are required. Over-voltage protection (375-410V) shuts down and latches off the output; re-power to recover.
