Test conditions and notes14
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. De-rating may be need under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 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. 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.
- 6. Flicker is measured at full load with the light source provided by MEAN WELL.
- 7. To fulfill requirement of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 8. 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)
- 9. The ambient temperature de-rating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 10. 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.
- 11. For XLC-S series: RCM is on a voluntary basis. Non IC classification Independent LED control gear is not suitable for residential installations. For XLC(except -S) series: RCM is on a voluntary basis and meets relevant IEC or AS/NZS standards complying with AS/NZS 4417.1.

FAQ
Can I use the XLC-40-24-S to power 24V LED strips in a suspended ceiling linear lighting system?
Yes, the XLC-40-24-S is suitable for suspended or pendant linear lighting where cables are routed under mechanical tension. The strain-relief prevents cable fatigue at the driver output exit, which is important when the cable runs vertically from a ceiling-mounted driver to a lower suspended fixture. The 40.8W at 24V provides sufficient power for medium-length 24V LED strip runs.
Is the XLC-40-24-S a good choice for powering 24V LED tape in office task lighting panels?
Yes, the XLC-40-24-S can power 24V LED tape in office task or troffer-style lighting panels. The flicker-free output is beneficial in office environments where sustained flicker can cause eye fatigue, and the 40.8W rating supports moderate LED tape lengths appropriate for individual panel fixtures. The strain-relief is useful where the cable is routed through metalwork with sharp edges.
Can the XLC-40-24-S be used in a 24V LED light strip installation in a museum or gallery?
Yes, the XLC-40-24-S is appropriate for gallery or museum lighting applications that use 24V LED strip for accent or object lighting. The flicker-free characteristic is especially important in museums, where light flicker can interfere with visitor perception and camera equipment. At 40.8W it can support runs of 24V LED strip up to approximately 2.83 m for 14.4 W/m tape (40.8 ÷ 14.4 ≈ 2.83 m).
How much 24V LED strip can the XLC-40-24-S support?
The XLC-40-24-S delivers 40.8W at 24V and 1.7A. To size your strip run, divide 40.8W by the strip's rated watts per meter: a 14.4 W/m strip gives approximately 2.83 m; a 9.6 W/m strip about 4.25 m. Check your specific strip's rated power per meter and load no more than 80% of the driver's rated output for safe continuous operation.
Is the XLC-40-24-S rated for outdoor or damp-location use?
The XLC-40-24-S does not have a listed IP ingress protection rating, so it is not suitable for direct outdoor exposure or damp locations without a protective enclosure. It should be installed inside a dry, enclosed housing. For direct outdoor driver mounting, a product with IP65 or higher protection would be required.
What is the warranty on the XLC-40-24-S, and what certifications does it carry?
The XLC-40-24-S carries a 5-year warranty and is certified to ENEC, BS EN/EN61347-1, BS EN/EN61347-2-13, BS EN/EN62384, BIS IS15885, GB/T19510.1, GB/T19510.213, EAC TP TC 004, UL8750 (Class P), and CSA C22.2 No. 250.13-12. The ENEC mark confirms compliance with European luminaire driver safety requirements. The 5-year warranty is consistent across the XLC series.
