- 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 model certified for CCC(GB/T19510.1, GB/T19510.213, GB/T 17743 and GB17625.1) is an optional model . Please contact MEAN WELL for details.
- 8. 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.
- 9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 10. The driver is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
- 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

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-600H-48AB for a 48V LED lighting system with smart dimming control?
Yes. The AB suffix means it has both a potentiometer for voltage/current adjustment and a dimming interface accepting 0-10VDC, 10V PWM, or resistance signals. This makes it ideal for 48V LED systems connected to smart home controllers, building management systems, or timer-based dimmers.
Is the HLG-600H-48AB suitable for powering 48V architectural LED lighting indoors?
Yes. At 600W and 48V, it can drive large-scale indoor architectural lighting such as cove lighting, wall washers, or linear LED fixtures. The adjustable output and dimming input give you full control over brightness, from the potentiometer setting down to about 6% via the dimming input.
Can the HLG-600H-48AB power 48V LED strip for a commercial retail environment?
Yes. With 600W of output at 48V and 12.5A, it handles substantial LED strip loads for retail displays, shelving accents, or ceiling perimeter lighting. The dimming input allows scheduled brightness changes for store hours versus after-hours operation, and the potentiometer lets you set the baseline output precisely.
Will the HLG-600H-48AB work with a 0-10V dimming system?
Yes. The dimming input on the AB model accepts an additive 0-10VDC signal between DIM+ and DIM-, so it works with 0-10V dimming systems. It also accepts 10V PWM (100Hz-3KHz) and resistance dimming signals, giving flexibility across different control systems.
How many meters of 48V LED strip can the HLG-600H-48AB drive?
Divide 600W by your strip's wattage per meter. For a 48V strip rated at 14.4W/m, you could run about 41 meters (600W / 14.4W per meter ≈ 41.7m). For a strip at 24W/m, that drops to 25 meters. Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep total load at or below 600W.
Is the HLG-600H-48AB weather-resistant enough for a covered patio installation?
Yes. Its IP65 rating protects against dust and low-pressure water jets, which is sufficient for covered patios, pergolas, and similar sheltered outdoor spaces. For locations with direct heavy rain exposure or risk of standing water, the IP67-rated HLG-600H-48 or 48B would be a better choice.
What are the differences between the HLG-600H-48, 48A, 48AB, and 48B?
All four share the same 600W / 48V / 12.5A core specs. The base HLG-600H-48 has fixed output and IP67 waterproof rating. The -48A adds output voltage/current adjustment via potentiometer (IP65). The -48AB adds both adjustment and 0-10V/PWM/resistance dimming input (IP65). The -48B provides dimming input only and retains IP67 waterproof rating.
