Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the HLG-480H-36AB to power a large 36V LED strip lighting installation?

Yes. The HLG-480H-36AB delivers 480W at 36V and up to 13.3A, which is enough for substantial 36V LED strip runs. Its built-in output adjustment and 1-10V/PWM dimming input let you fine-tune brightness and voltage to match your strip's requirements without needing separate controllers.

Is the HLG-480H-36AB a good driver for high-power 36V LED signage?

Yes. With 480W at 36V, it can power large channel-letter signs or illuminated cabinet signs that use 36V LED modules. The wide 90-305VAC input handles commercial mains supplies globally, and the dimmable input allows you to reduce sign brightness during overnight hours to save energy.

Can I dim the HLG-480H-36AB for 36V architectural LED cove lighting?

Yes. The AB suffix means it has both an adjustable output potentiometer and a dimming signal input (1-10V, PWM, or resistance). This makes it well suited for architectural cove lighting where smooth dimming and precise voltage tuning are required. The constant-current CC range of 18-36V accommodates varying LED forward-voltage drops.

How many meters of 36V LED strip can the HLG-480H-36AB power?

Divide 480W by your strip's rated power per meter. For example, a 36V strip drawing 14.4W/m could run up to about 33 meters (480W / 14.4W per meter = 33.3m). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep total load at or below 480W.

Can the HLG-480H-36AB be used outdoors in a sheltered location?

Yes. It carries an IP65 water-resistant rating, which protects against low-pressure water jets and dust. This is suitable for covered outdoor areas like soffits, canopies, or ventilated enclosures. For fully exposed rain or submersion scenarios, the IP67-rated HLG-480H-36B would be a better choice.

What is the difference between the HLG-480H-36, 36A, 36AB, and 36B models?

All four share 480W / 36V / 13.3A core specs. The base HLG-480H-36 has fixed output and IP67 waterproof rating. The -36A adds output voltage/current adjustment via potentiometer (IP65). The -36AB adds both adjustment and 1-10V/PWM dimming (IP65). The -36B has dimming input only and retains IP67 waterproofing.
