Test conditions and notes16
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 3. 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.
- 4. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 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)

- 8. Input over voltage only for XLG-50 I series ,and I series without UL/CSA certificate.
- 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).
- 10. Only for XLG-50-A
- 11. Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the CCC/PSE/BIS/KC logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
- 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. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 14. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixture, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 15. If you need the NOM (Mexico) certificate, Please contact MEAN WELL sales representative for details.

FAQ
Can the XLG-50-A power a single LED strip zone in an outdoor retail display or outdoor sign?
Yes. The XLG-50-A carries an IP67 waterproof rating, making it suitable for outdoor and wet-location installations such as exterior retail signage, under-canopy lighting, or outdoor display cases. Its 50W capacity at 1A constant current is appropriate for a single zone of compatible LED strip or LED module array.
What length of LED strip can the XLG-50-A support?
The XLG-50-A outputs up to 50W. For example, a strip rated at 7.5W/m would allow up to about 6.6 meters at full load, and a 10W/m strip up to about 5 meters. Always check your strip's rated power per meter and size to no more than 80% of the driver's maximum (40W working load) for reliable continuous operation.
Can this driver be used for small LED signage or illuminated cabinet letters in wet environments?
Yes. The IP67 rating and compact 105 × 63 × 30 mm form factor make the XLG-50-A well suited for small illuminated cabinet letters, slim lightboxes, or under-counter LED strip lighting in wet or outdoor locations. The 90-305VAC input range also works across international mains voltages.
Is the XLG-50-A rated for use in very cold outdoor conditions?
Yes. The case temperature range is -40°C to +90°C, making this driver suitable for outdoor sign and display installations in cold climates, as well as high-ambient indoor environments such as industrial or commercial kitchens.
Can the XLG-50-A be used for LED strip cove lighting inside a bathroom or wet area?
Yes. The IP67 rating means the XLG-50-A is fully sealed against dust and protected against temporary water immersion, qualifying it for wet area installations. Position the driver in a ventilated enclosure outside the splash zone where required by local electrical codes, and pair it with appropriately rated LED strip for the wet zone.
How does the XLG-50-A differ from the XLG-50-AB?
Both the XLG-50-A and XLG-50-AB share the same 50W, 1A, 57V output, IP67 rating, and input range. The XLG-50-AB adds a 3-in-1 dimming interface (0-10V, PWM, or resistance), while the XLG-50-A is adjustable output current only via a built-in potentiometer without a dedicated dimming control input.
