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).
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

FAQ

Can I use the HLG-240H-C700B with a 1-10V dimmer to control high-voltage LED arrays?

Yes. The HLG-240H-C700B includes a dimming signal input and delivers 700mA constant current across a 178-357V range at up to 249.9W. You can pair with a 1-10V or PWM dimming controller to smoothly adjust brightness on compatible high-voltage LED arrays without needing a separate dimming module.

Is the HLG-240H-C700B suitable for driving LED street light or area light fixtures?

Yes. With 249.9W at 700mA constant current and an IP65/IP67-rated series housing, this driver can power outdoor LED area lights designed for high-voltage series LED strings within the 178-357V range. Its wide 90-305VAC input handles international mains voltages, and it operates over a Tcase range of -40°C to +90°C (derating applies at high ambient temperatures).

Can I use the HLG-240H-C700B for architectural LED facade lighting?

Yes, provided your facade luminaires accept 700mA constant-current drive in the 178-357V range. The series is rated IP65 or IP67 depending on type, and the dimming input (1-10VDC, 10V PWM or resistance) allows scene control from a compatible lighting controller. For fully exposed locations, check the rating of your type and follow MEAN WELL's IP installation cautions in the user manual.

Can the HLG-240H-C700B power LED modules for large backlit display panels?

Yes. At 249.9W and 700mA, it can drive high-voltage LED module strings used in large-format backlit displays, light boxes, or illuminated menu boards. The dimming input lets you adjust display brightness to match ambient lighting conditions throughout the day.

What LED forward voltage total should I target when using the HLG-240H-C700B?

Your series LED string's total forward voltage must fall within the 178-357V constant-current range. The exact number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage. For example, if each LED has a 3V forward voltage, a string of roughly 60 to 119 LEDs would be within range, but always verify with your specific LED datasheet.

Can the HLG-240H-C700B handle temperature extremes in outdoor enclosures?

Yes. It is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, and the series carries an IP65 or IP67 rating depending on type. This suits cold outdoor cabinets in winter and warm rooftop enclosures, but output must be derated at high ambient temperatures per the derating curve, so ensure adequate ventilation to keep the case at or below +90°C.
