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. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 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. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 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 ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 11. 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 the NPF-120-48 be installed in outdoor or wet-rated fixtures?
Yes. The NPF-120-48 is IP67 rated, so it resists dust ingress and temporary water immersion. Its working case temperature (Tcase) range of -40°C to +90°C (with load derating per the output load vs temperature curve) makes it compatible with outdoor luminaires and cold-climate installations.
What LED systems does the NPF-120-48 suit at 48V?
The NPF-120-48 supplies 48V DC at 2.5A (120W) in constant-current mode, with a CC range of 28.8–48V. It is a natural fit for 48V LED modules used in industrial high-bay fixtures, outdoor area lighting, and tunnel lighting systems that specify a 48V constant-current driver.
How does the NPF-120-48 compare to the NPF-120-54?
Both are in the ~120W family with identical IP67 protection, 191.0 × 63.0 × 37.5 mm housing, and 0.97 kg weight. The NPF-120-48 outputs 48V at 2.5A (120W, CC range 28.8–48V); the NPF-120-54 outputs 54V at 2.3A (124.2W, CC range 32.4–54V). Choose NPF-120-48 for 48V LED strings and NPF-120-54 for 54V strings.
What is the warranty period on the NPF-120-48?
The NPF-120-48 spec sheet does not state a warranty period; it refers to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website (www.meanwell.com). The sheet does give a typical life expectancy of more than 50,000 hours when the case temperature (tc point) is about 75°C or less.
