Test conditions and notes13

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.

FAQ

Can I use the HLG-480H-48A to fine-tune output for a 48V LED lighting array?

Yes. The A suffix indicates a built-in potentiometer for adjusting output voltage (40.8-50.4V) and current (5-10A). You can trim the 48V output to precisely match your LED array's optimal drive point. This is useful for maximizing efficiency or extending LED lifespan by avoiding over-driving.

Is the HLG-480H-48A suitable for powering 48V LED strips in a long commercial corridor?

Yes. At 480W and 48V, it can handle long LED strip runs common in commercial corridors. The 48V output reduces voltage drop over distance compared to lower-voltage drivers, and the adjustable output lets you compensate for any remaining drop by trimming the voltage slightly upward at the source.

Can the HLG-480H-48A drive 48V LED horticultural lighting in a greenhouse?

Yes. With 480W at 48V and 10A, it has capacity for high-power grow light panels. The adjustable output lets you dial in the exact drive current for different growth stages. However, its IP65 rating protects against water jets and dust but not submersion, so keep it away from direct flooding or standing water in the greenhouse.

How many meters of 48V LED strip can the HLG-480H-48A handle?

Divide 480W by the strip's power rating per meter. A 48V strip consuming 10W/m could run up to 48 meters (480W / 10W per meter = 48m). Always verify your strip's rated power per meter and ensure total load remains at or below 480W.

Is the HLG-480H-48A rated for damp indoor environments like parking garages?

Yes. Its IP65 water-resistant rating protects against dust and low-pressure water jets, which covers the splashing, dripping, and humidity found in parking garages, loading docks, and similar damp indoor spaces. For rain-exposed locations or a risk of temporary immersion, choose the IP67-rated HLG-480H-48 or HLG-480H-48B.
