Test conditions and notes5
- 1. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 2. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- 3. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 4. 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).
- 5. 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 PLD-16-700A with a 700mA LED downlight?
Yes, if the downlight is designed for constant current operation at 700mA and its LED load falls within the 16-24V constant current range. This driver is rated for 16.8W, which fits compact downlight assemblies in that electrical window. It is not intended for downlights that expect a constant voltage input.
Will the PLD-16-700A work for small LED arrays?
It will work for small LED arrays that require 700mA constant current and have a combined forward voltage between 16V and 24V. The exact number of LEDs depends on the forward voltage of each LED in the array. The driver's maximum output power is 16.8W.
Is this a good choice for compact LED signage modules?
It can be, but only for signage modules engineered for 700mA constant current input within the 16-24V CC range. Many signage products use constant voltage systems, and those are not compatible with this driver. This model is for constant current loads only.
How should I size the PLD-16-700A for my LEDs?
Match it to LED loads that need 700mA constant current and operate across 16-24V on the output side. The number of LEDs depends on the forward voltage of each LED, so the correct load is determined by total forward voltage rather than a fixed LED quantity. The load also needs to stay within the 16.8W rating.
Where can the PLD-16-700A be used from an environmental standpoint?
The PLD-16-700A is IP42 rated, so it is intended for protected environments rather than direct outdoor exposure. Its operating temperature range is -30°C to +50°C (see the derating curve). Humidity should stay within 20-95% RH non-condensing.
