Test conditions and notes11
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  3. 3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  4. 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. 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. 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. 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. 8. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
  9. 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. 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. 11. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can I use the HLG-480H-C2800AB to drive high-power LED grow lights?

Yes. The HLG-480H-C2800AB delivers 479W at a constant current of 2800mA with a CC voltage range of 85-171V, which suits high-power LED arrays commonly used in horticultural lighting. Its IP65 rating and -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) working range also allow installation in greenhouse environments.

Is the HLG-480H-C2800AB suitable for powering large LED high-bay fixtures?

Yes. At 479W and 2800mA constant current, it can drive high-bay LED fixtures used in warehouses, factories, and gymnasiums. The wide 90-305VAC input handles global mains voltages, and its IP65 protection allows mounting in dusty or damp industrial settings.

Can I dim and adjust the output of the HLG-480H-C2800AB?

Yes. The AB suffix means this model includes both a built-in potentiometer for output current adjustment and a dimming input that accepts 0-10V, 10V PWM, or resistance signals. This makes it well-suited for applications where you need precise current tuning and external dimming control, such as architectural or horticultural lighting scenes.

Can the HLG-480H-C2800AB drive LED street light or parking lot fixtures?

Yes. Its 479W output at 2800mA constant current and IP65 water-resistant rating make it appropriate for outdoor area lighting such as street lights and parking lot fixtures. The wide case temperature (Tcase) working range of -40°C to +90°C handles extreme seasonal conditions.

How many LEDs can I run in series with the HLG-480H-C2800AB?

The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage. The CC voltage range is 85-171V, so your total series string voltage must fall within that window. Divide 85-171V by your LED's forward voltage to estimate the minimum and maximum number of LEDs in one series string.

Can the HLG-480H-C2800AB be installed outdoors in an exposed location?

It carries an IP65 rating (the series is listed as IP65 or IP67), which protects against dust and low-pressure water jets, so it can be used outdoors in locations such as canopies, soffits, or pole-top housings. Keep the case within its -40°C to +90°C Tcase range and follow MEAN WELL's user manual for IP waterproof installation cautions.
