Test conditions and notes14

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
4. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
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 first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
7. 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)
8. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
9. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >62,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃ 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
13. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
14. Products sourced from the Americas regions may only have the UL, CE and UKCA logos. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.

FAQ

Can I use the HLG-40H-15B to power 15V LED strips in a fully exposed outdoor installation?

Yes. The HLG-40H-15B is rated IP67 waterproof and delivers 15V at up to 2.67A (40W), making it suitable for outdoor 15V LED strip projects exposed to rain, sprinklers, or temporary submersion. Its -40°C to +80°C case temperature (Tcase) working range also handles harsh temperature swings.

Is the HLG-40H-15B a good choice for dimmable 15V LED signage?

Yes. It supports dimming via external signals, which allows scene-based brightness control for signage. At 40W and 15V output, it can drive small LED sign modules. The IP67 rating means the driver can be mounted inside outdoor sign enclosures without concern for moisture damage.

Can I use the HLG-40H-15B for a small dimmable 15V landscape lighting setup?

It works well for compact landscape lighting systems that use 15V LED fixtures. The IP67 waterproof rating allows mounting in waterproof junction boxes or direct outdoor exposure, and the dimming function lets you adjust brightness for different times of day. Total load must stay at or below 40W.

How many meters of 15V LED strip can the HLG-40H-15B drive?

The HLG-40H-15B supplies up to 40W at 15V. Divide 40W by your strip's rated wattage per meter to find the maximum run length. For example, a strip rated at 5W per meter would allow up to 8 meters (40W / 5W per meter = 8m). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and stay within the 40W limit.

Can the HLG-40H-15B be installed in a location that floods occasionally?

The IP67 rating means the HLG-40H-15B can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. While it handles occasional flooding, it is not designed for permanent submersion. The sealed metal casing provides strong protection against dust and moisture ingress in damp environments.
