Test conditions and notes12
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 3. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 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. It is measured 50%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
- 6. 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)
- 7. 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.
- 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. This product is intended for North America and EU lighting equipment application. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales if you have other using.

FAQ
Can the HVGC-65-500AB power 500mA LED downlights where dimming is needed?
Yes, it is a 500mA constant current driver and is intended for LED loads that need that current level. For a compatible downlight load, the total LED forward voltage must stay within 13-130V and the total load must remain within 65W. It is not meant for constant voltage fixtures.
Is this a good match for dimmable signage modules or compact LED arrays?
It can work for signage modules or compact LED arrays that are built for constant current operation at 500mA. The combined LED forward voltage must remain in the 13-130V constant current range, and the exact LED count depends on each LED's forward voltage. Constant voltage modules should not be paired with this type of driver.
Can I use the HVGC-65-500AB for architectural LED arrays with a wide AC input range?
This model accepts 180-528VAC input, so it supports a wide input range on the supply side. On the output side, it provides 500mA constant current across 13-130V for LED arrays designed for that operating window. The load still needs to stay within the 65W rating.
What kind of LED load size does the HVGC-65-500AB support?
It supports constant current LED loads at 500mA with a total forward voltage between 13V and 130V. The number of LEDs is not fixed because it depends on the forward voltage of each LED in the array or module. This distinction matters because a constant current driver is selected by current and voltage range, not by a fixed LED count.
Can the HVGC-65-500AB be used in exposed industrial or outdoor environments?
The HVGC-65 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, and a waterproof connector can be fitted to the output cable for wet, damp or outdoor use. It is specified for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +80°C, with load derating at higher temperatures. The final enclosure requirement should still match the actual site conditions.
How does the HVGC-65-500AB differ from other 65W HVGC current levels?
In the 65W family, the 350mA models are 65.1W with an 18-186V CC range, the 500mA models are 65W with a 13-130V CC range, the 700mA models are 65.1W with a 9-93V CC range, and the 1050mA models are 65.1W with a 6-62V CC range. The higher-current siblings use lower constant current voltage ranges. This model is the 500mA, 13-130V option in that lineup.
