Test conditions and notes14
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 6. 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.
- 7. 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)
- 8. 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.
- 9. 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.
- 10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- 11. 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).
- 12. 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
- 13. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
- 14. Products sourced from the Americas regions may only have the UL, CE and UKCA logos. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-40H-24AB for outdoor 24V LED strip lighting with dimming control?
Yes. The HLG-40H-24AB delivers 24V at up to 1.67A (40W) and includes both output adjustment and 1-10V/PWM dimming input, giving you full brightness control. Its IP65 rating protects against water jets and dust, making it suitable for covered outdoor installations like soffits, canopies, or patio ceilings.
Is the HLG-40H-24AB a good fit for powering a small 24V LED sign?
Yes, provided the sign's total power draw stays within 40W. The HLG-40H-24AB outputs 24V with a constant-current range of 14.4-24V, so it can accommodate LED sign modules that operate anywhere in that voltage window. The built-in dimming input also lets you reduce sign brightness for nighttime operation.
Can the HLG-40H-24AB power 24V LED under-cabinet lighting in a kitchen?
Yes. At 40W and 24V, it can handle typical under-cabinet LED strips or light bars. The adjustable output lets you fine-tune voltage to match your specific LED load, and the dimming input allows brightness control through a compatible 1-10V or PWM dimmer.
How many meters of 24V LED strip can the HLG-40H-24AB power?
Divide 40W by your strip's rated power per meter. For example, a 24V strip rated at 8W/m would allow up to 5 meters (40W / 8W per meter = 5m). A higher-density strip at 14.4W/m would allow about 2.7 meters. Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep the total load at or below 40W.
Can the HLG-40H-24AB be installed in a location exposed to direct rain?
The HLG-40H-24AB is rated IP65, which protects against low-pressure water jets and dust but not submersion or prolonged heavy rain exposure. It is best suited for sheltered outdoor areas or indoor wet locations. For fully exposed outdoor installations, consider the IP67-rated HLG-40H-24B instead.
What are the differences between the HLG-40H-24, 24A, 24AB, and 24B variants?
All four share the same 40W / 24V / 1.67A core specs and CC range of 14.4-24V. The base HLG-40H-24 has fixed output and IP67 waterproofing. The -24A adds output voltage/current adjustment via potentiometer (IP65). The -24AB adds both adjustment and 1-10V/PWM dimming input (IP65). The -24B offers dimming input only and retains IP67.
