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 cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
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. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 70℃ or less.
10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
11. 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).
12. 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 Mean Well HBG-160-48 for a 48V high bay LED light?

Yes, if the fixture's electrical requirement matches the 48V output or stays within the 28.8-48V constant current range. This model provides 48V output at 3.3A with 158.4W maximum power, and the HBG series is specified for high/low bay light use.

Is the HBG-160-48 a good fit for a UFO-style high bay fixture?

It can be, provided the UFO fixture needs a 48V LED driver or a constant current driver with a 28.8-48V operating range and no more than 3.3A or 158.4W. The circular ψ151.68mm housing matches the form factor commonly used in this type of lighting.

Can this LED driver be used for outdoor LED signage?

It can be used for outdoor signage if the sign uses a 48V LED load or a constant current LED load within 28.8-48V and up to 3.3A. Its IP67 waterproof rating supports wet-location use, and the input range is 90-305VAC.

Can I use the HBG-160-48 with a 48V LED strip?

Yes, this is a constant voltage + constant current LED driver, so it can run a 48V constant voltage strip or a constant current strip within its 28.8-48V range. The maximum available power is 158.4W, so maximum strip length = 158.4W divided by your strip rated power per meter; check your strip rated power per meter before sizing.

Is the HBG-160-48 suitable for outdoor or wet locations?

Yes, it is rated IP67 waterproof, so it is built for wet and outdoor environments. The case temperature (Tcase) range is -40°C to +85°C, which supports use in very cold and very hot conditions, with output derating at higher temperatures.

What is the difference between the HBG-160-24, HBG-160-36, HBG-160-48, and HBG-160-60?

The main differences are output voltage, current, and constant current range. HBG-160-24 is 156W, 6.5A, 14.4-24V; HBG-160-36 is 158.4W, 4.4A, 21.6-36V; HBG-160-48 is 158.4W, 3.3A, 28.8-48V; and HBG-160-60 is 156W, 2.6A, 36-60V.
