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-C2800B for large LED grow light arrays?
Yes. The HLG-480H-C2800B provides 479W at 2800mA constant current with a CC voltage range of 85-171V, making it well-matched to high-wattage LED grow light panels. Its IP65 rating handles the humidity typically found in indoor growing environments.
Is the HLG-480H-C2800B a good driver for high-bay LED industrial lighting?
Yes. At 479W and 2800mA, it can power high-output LED high-bay fixtures in factories, warehouses, and distribution centers. The 90-305VAC universal input works with most industrial power systems, and its case temperature rating of up to +90°C (with load derating at high temperatures) suits warm ceiling-mounted locations.
Can I dim the HLG-480H-C2800B with an external controller?
Yes. The B suffix indicates a dimming input that accepts 0-10V, 10V PWM, or resistance signals from an external controller. However, unlike the AB variant, this model does not include a built-in potentiometer for manual output adjustment, so all current tuning must come from the external dimming signal.
Can the HLG-480H-C2800B power LED floodlights for sports field or area lighting?
Yes. With 479W at 2800mA constant current, it can drive high-power LED floodlight modules. Its IP65 water-resistant enclosure and -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) range support permanent outdoor installation in exposed athletic or commercial area lighting applications.
What is the CC voltage range on the HLG-480H-C2800B and how does it affect LED compatibility?
The CC voltage range is 85-171V. Your LED string's total forward voltage must fall within this range for the driver to regulate current properly at 2800mA. The exact number of LEDs in series depends on each LED's individual forward voltage.
Is the HLG-480H-C2800B rated for cold-weather outdoor installations?
Yes. Its working case temperature (Tcase) range is -40°C to +90°C, so it handles extreme cold in northern climates as well as heat buildup in enclosed fixtures. The IP65 rating protects against rain, snow, and dust in sheltered outdoor mounting locations.
