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-80H-36A to power 36V LED panel lights with fine-tuned brightness?

Yes. The HLG-80H-36A delivers 36V at up to 2.3A (80W) and includes built-in potentiometers for adjusting the output voltage (33-40V) and current (1.38-2.3A). This lets you trim brightness on 36V LED panels without an external dimmer, which is useful when matching driver output to a specific panel.

Is the HLG-80H-36A a good choice for adjustable 36V LED sign module lighting?

Yes. At 80W and 36V, it can power 36V LED sign modules for channel letters or light boxes. The adjustable potentiometer is helpful for dialing in the precise output level needed by your module string. Its 90-305VAC universal input handles varying commercial mains voltages worldwide.

Can the HLG-80H-36A work with 36V LED strips in a covered outdoor installation?

Yes. Its IP65-rated metal housing is designed for indoor and outdoor applications, making it suitable for covered patios, canopies, and recessed outdoor soffits. For fully rain-exposed locations without any shelter, an IP67 model like the HLG-80H-36 would be more appropriate.

How many meters of 36V LED strip can the HLG-80H-36A handle?

It depends on your strip's rated wattage per meter. The HLG-80H-36A provides up to 80W at 36V. For a strip rated at 10W/m, you can run up to 8 meters (80W / 10W per meter = 8m). Always verify your strip's rated power per meter and keep total consumption at or below 80W.

Is the IP65 rating on the HLG-80H-36A adequate for a damp indoor environment like a commercial kitchen?

Yes, for damp areas. Its IP65-rated metal housing and 20-95% RH non-condensing working humidity rating suit damp indoor environments such as commercial kitchens or food-prep areas, away from direct washdown. Avoid mounting it where standing water could accumulate around the unit.
