Mean Well ELG-200-36DA Power Supply 200W 36V - DALI

Yes. The ELG-200-36DA is rated IP67, protecting against water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It is suitable for outdoor sign cabinets, exterior facade lighting, and landscape installations where direct rain contact is expected.

The DA suffix indicates DALI dimming combined with an adjustable output current trim (potentiometer). This variant suits projects where the driver must both participate in a DALI control network and allow the installer to fine-tune the output level during commissioning. Use it when you need DALI-based dimming but also want the flexibility to set a maximum output level independent of the DALI signal.

The driver outputs 199.8W at 5.55A. For a 36V strip rated at 20 W/m, you can run approximately 10 m per driver (199.8 W ÷ 20 W/m). For a 16 W/m strip, that extends to about 12.5 m. Always verify your strip's rated wattage per meter and apply a 10–20% derating margin.

Yes. The DALI interface allows the ELG-200-36DA to receive digital dimming commands from a DALI controller, making it compatible with commercial building automation and energy management systems. The adjustable output feature also lets the installer set a custom maximum light level per circuit during commissioning.

Yes. The operating temperature range of -40°C to +90°C covers extreme cold, and the IP67 waterproof rating protects against rain, snow, and condensation. This makes it appropriate for outdoor luminaires in cold regions where both DALI control and weather resistance are required.

Yes. In hospitality or retail projects using a DALI bus, the ELG-200-36DA can be addressed individually to control different zones independently. The output-adjustable feature allows the lighting designer to calibrate brightness per circuit during the commissioning phase, which is particularly useful in multi-zone lighting scenarios.
