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 power supply 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-480H-C1400B for high-bay warehouse LED lighting?
Yes. The HLG-480H-C1400B delivers 480W at a constant current of 1400mA with a CC voltage range of 171-343V, which is well suited for driving high-power LED arrays in warehouse high-bay fixtures. Its IP65 rating protects the driver in dusty industrial environments, and the built-in dimming interface lets you adjust brightness to meet warehouse lighting standards.
Is the HLG-480H-C1400B suitable for powering large outdoor LED floodlights?
Yes. At 480W and 1400mA constant current, this driver can power high-output LED floodlight arrays for building facades, sports courts, or parking structures. The IP65 water-resistant rating handles rain and dust exposure in covered or semi-exposed mounting locations. Its -40 to +90 degree Celsius case temperature (Tcase) range accommodates extreme climate conditions.
Can the HLG-480H-C1400B drive LED arrays for large illuminated signs?
Yes. The 1400mA constant current output with a voltage range of 171-343V can drive long series strings of high-power LEDs used in large channel letter or cabinet signs. The dimming input (B suffix) allows brightness scheduling for nighttime dimming or energy-saving programs.
How many LEDs can the HLG-480H-C1400B drive in a series string?
The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage. The CC voltage range is 171-343V, so the total forward voltage of your series string must fall within that range. Divide your target voltage by the individual LED forward voltage to determine the count. The driver will regulate current at 1400mA regardless of where the total voltage lands within the range.
Can the HLG-480H-C1400B be used in covered outdoor enclosures exposed to moisture?
Yes. The IP65 rating means the driver is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. This covers installations under canopies, in outdoor electrical cabinets, or in sheltered rooftop equipment areas. Check MEAN WELL's user manual for the IP waterproof installation cautions before installing.
What is the difference between the HLG-480H-C1400A, C1400AB, and C1400B models?
All three share the same 480W / 1400mA core specs with a CC voltage range of 171-343V. The C1400A has output current adjustment via built-in potentiometer. The C1400AB offers both potentiometer adjustment and external dimming input (0-10V, 10V PWM or resistance). The C1400B provides external dimming input only without the adjustment potentiometer. All carry at least an IP65 rating.
