Test conditions and notes11
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  3. 3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  4. 4. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
  5. 5. 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)
  6. 6. 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.
  7. 7. 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.
  8. 8. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
  9. 9. 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).

FAQ

Can I use the HLG-480H-C2800A for high-power LED stadium or sports field floodlights?

Yes. The HLG-480H-C2800A delivers 479W at 2800mA constant current, providing enough power for high-output LED modules in professional sports lighting fixtures. The adjustable output (A suffix) lets you fine-tune the drive current via potentiometer to optimize luminaire efficiency. The IP65 rating suits protected outdoor equipment enclosures.

Is the HLG-480H-C2800A suitable for driving high-current LED grow light fixtures?

Yes. At 479W and 2800mA, this driver supplies substantial current for large horticultural LED arrays that require high drive currents per string. The built-in potentiometer allows current adjustment (1400-2800mA) to optimize light intensity for different crop requirements. The wide 90-305VAC input accommodates agricultural power infrastructure.

Can the HLG-480H-C2800A power LED modules in large industrial high-bay fixtures?

Yes. The 2800mA constant current output across 85-171V is well suited for high-bay LED modules that require higher drive currents. The adjustable output lets you match the current to your specific LED module's datasheet recommendation. The IP65 dust-proof and water-resistant rating handles demanding industrial environments.

What is the CC voltage range of the HLG-480H-C2800A and what does it mean for LED selection?

The constant current regulation range is 85-171V. Your series LED string's total forward voltage must fall within this range for the driver to deliver a steady 2800mA. Because the voltage range is lower than the 1400mA, 1750mA and 2100mA HLG-480H-C models (only the 3500mA model, at 68-137V, is lower), this variant suits shorter series strings of LEDs that require higher current.

How does the HLG-480H-C2800A compare to the C1400 and C2100 variants?

The HLG-480H-C series maintains approximately 480W across all variants but trades voltage range for current. The C1400 operates at 1400mA over 171-343V (longer LED strings, lower current). The C2100 runs at 2100mA over 114-229V. The C2800A drives 2800mA over 85-171V (shorter strings, higher current). Choose based on your LED module's current and voltage requirements.

Can the HLG-480H-C2800A be mounted outdoors in a sheltered equipment cabinet?

Yes. The IP65 rating protects against dust and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor cabinets, covered mounting areas, and semi-exposed locations. The -40 to +90 degree Celsius case temperature (Tcase) range handles seasonal temperature extremes. Follow MEAN WELL's user manual for IP waterproof installation cautions.
