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 the PLD-16-700B run a 700mA LED downlight?
Yes, if the downlight is specified for 700mA constant current and its LED string operates within the 16-24V constant current range. With a 16.8W rating, it is aimed at smaller downlight loads in that range. It is a constant current model, so it should not be substituted for a constant voltage supply.
Is the PLD-16-700B appropriate for LED display or accent arrays?
Yes, for small LED arrays that require 700mA constant current and have a total forward voltage between 16V and 24V. The actual number of LEDs depends on the forward voltage of each LED. The output power limit is 16.8W.
Can I use this driver for constant current signage lighting?
Yes, if the signage lighting is built around a 700mA constant current load within the 16-24V CC range. It is not suitable for standard constant voltage signage modules that expect a fixed DC voltage. The distinction between constant current and constant voltage matters here.
What kind of LED load matches the PLD-16-700B?
A compatible load requires 700mA constant current and must operate within the driver's 16-24V constant current range. The number of LEDs is determined by the forward voltage of each LED rather than a single stated count. Total load power should remain within 16.8W.
Is the PLD-16-700B suitable for exposed outdoor conditions?
No, the IP42 rating points to use in protected areas instead of exposed outdoor environments. The driver is rated for operation from -30°C to +50°C, which covers a broad temperature range, but ingress protection is still limited to IP42. It is better suited to enclosed or sheltered installations.
