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-320H-C3500AB for dimmable LED high-bay fixtures in a distribution center?
Yes. The HLG-320H-C3500AB delivers 3500mA constant current at 318.5W with both output adjustment and a 3-in-1 dimming input (0-10VDC, 10V PWM, or resistance). This makes it ideal for high-bay luminaires in warehouses and distribution centers where occupancy-based or daylight-responsive dimming reduces energy costs.
Is the HLG-320H-C3500AB a good choice for dimmable LED grow lights?
Yes. At 3500mA and 318.5W, it provides high drive current for demanding grow light modules in the 46-91V range. The adjustable potentiometer sets the baseline output, while the dimming input allows automated intensity changes for different photoperiods or growth stages without rewiring.
Can the HLG-320H-C3500AB power dimmable LED floodlights for an outdoor event venue?
Yes, for floodlight modules operating within the 46-91V CC range at 3500mA. The dimming input supports scene control from a lighting console. The HLG-320H-C series is IP65 or IP67 approved depending on version, so confirm this model's rating and mount the driver in a protected location or enclosure for full rain exposure.
What is the difference between the HLG-320H-C3500A and the HLG-320H-C3500AB?
Both share the same 318.5W / 95V / 3500mA core specs, 46-91V CC range, and built-in output adjustment potentiometer (1750-3500mA). The -AB adds a dimming input (0-10VDC, 10V PWM, or resistance) for external brightness control. Choose the -A if you only need fixed output adjustment, or the -AB if you need dynamic dimming capability.
How many LEDs can the HLG-320H-C3500AB drive at 3500mA?
The number depends on each LED's forward voltage. With a CC voltage range of 46-91V, divide your target string voltage by the individual LED forward voltage. The driver will regulate at 3500mA constant current as long as the total string voltage remains within 46-91V.
Can the HLG-320H-C3500AB withstand freezing outdoor conditions in a sheltered enclosure?
Yes. Its -40°C to +85°C case temperature (Tcase) range covers extreme cold without requiring a heater. The series is IP65 or IP67 approved against dust and water, making it suitable for sheltered outdoor enclosures such as pole-mounted cabinets, canopy housings, or covered equipment rooms.
