Test conditions and notes13
- 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.

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-480H-24 to power a long run of 24V LED strip lighting for a commercial space?
Yes. The HLG-480H-24 delivers 480W at 24V with up to 20A of output current, which is enough for substantial LED strip installations. For example, at 14.4W/m (a common high-density strip), you could power over 33 meters from a single driver. Its IP67 rating also allows outdoor mounting.
Is the HLG-480H-24 suitable for large-format 24V LED signage installations?
Yes. At 480W and 24V, it has the capacity to drive large LED sign arrays, channel letters, or light boxes that require significant wattage. The wide 90-305VAC input handles commercial mains supplies globally, and the IP67 rating allows the driver to be mounted near outdoor signs.
Can the HLG-480H-24 power 24V LED high-bay or warehouse lighting?
Yes. With 480W of output at 24V and 20A, it can drive multiple 24V LED high-bay fixtures in a warehouse or industrial facility. Its -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) range and IP67 waterproof rating make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
How many meters of 24V LED strip can the HLG-480H-24 handle?
Divide 480W by your strip's rated power per meter. For a strip rated at 14.4W/m, that is about 33 meters (480W / 14.4W per meter = 33.3m). For a strip at 9.6W/m, you could reach 50 meters (480W / 9.6W per meter = 50m). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep total load at or below 480W.
Can the HLG-480H-24 be installed in a fully exposed outdoor location?
Yes. Its IP67 waterproof rating protects against dust ingress and temporary water immersion up to 1 meter. The metal housing and -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) range make it robust for year-round outdoor installation, with output derating above about 60°C ambient at rated current.
What are the main differences between HLG-480H-24, 24A, 24AB, and 24B variants?
All four deliver 480W at 24V / 20A. The base HLG-480H-24 has no output adjustment or dimming and is IP67 waterproof. The -24A adds a built-in potentiometer for output voltage/current adjustment (IP65). The -24AB adds both potentiometer adjustment and 0-10V/PWM/resistance dimming input (IP65). The -24B provides dimming input only and retains IP67.
