Test conditions and notes13
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC input, rated load 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 power supply 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. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃ or less.
- 9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- 10. 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).
- 11. 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
- 12. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can I use the HVG-150-12A for 12V LED strip lighting?
It can be used with a 12V LED lighting load that operates within the 7.2~12V CC range and stays within 120W and 10A. That makes it suitable for larger 12V lighting runs where the load matches the driver's 12V output range.
Is this power supply suitable for 12V sign box or cabinet lighting?
Yes, if the sign lighting load is designed around 12V operation within the 7.2~12V constant-current range and does not exceed 120W or 10A. The IP65 water-resistant housing also makes it reasonable for sign applications in damp or outdoor locations.
Can the HVG-150-12A be used for outdoor landscape or pathway lighting?
It can work for 12V outdoor lighting systems when the load fits the 7.2~12V range and stays within 120W at 10A. Its IP65 water-resistant rating and -40°C to +75°C operating temperature range support outdoor use where a sealed driver is preferred.
How much 12V LED strip can this driver support?
Use the sizing formula: 120W divided by your strip's rated watts per meter equals the maximum theoretical strip length. The load must also stay within 12V output and 10A maximum current. Check your strip rated power per meter before final sizing.
Can this driver be placed in wet or weather-exposed areas?
The IP65 water-resistant enclosure is intended for applications where the driver may be exposed to dust and water-resistant conditions. It is better suited to outdoor or damp locations than an unsealed power supply, and its -40°C to +75°C operating range helps in cold and hot environments.
How does the HVG-150-12A compare with the other 12V HVG-150 models?
The HVG-150-12A, HVG-150-12AB, and HVG-150-12B are all rated at 120W, 12V, and 10A. The HVG-150-12D is also listed at 120W, but the sibling list does not provide a current figure for that model. This unit sits in the main 12V, 120W, 10A group for the HVG-150 family.
