Test conditions and notes7
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 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. Efficiency is measured at 500mA/80V output set by DIP switch.
- 5. Current ripple 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.
- 7. 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).

FAQ
What applications is the Mean Well LCM-40BLE best suited for?
The LCM-40BLE is a constant current LED driver for commercial and architectural lighting where wireless dimming or push-dim control is needed. Its 42W rating and selectable output currents make it suitable for LED fittings that need a driver matched to one of the supported current levels.
Does the LCM-40BLE support Casambi control?
Yes. This model supports Casambi Bluetooth control through the Casambi app for iOS and Android, plus a freely assignable AC mains push input, which makes it a good fit for projects that want wireless lighting control alongside local push-button dimming.
What output current options are available on the LCM-40BLE?
The LCM-40BLE supports multiple selectable constant current levels: 350mA, 500mA, 600mA, 700mA, 900mA, and 1050mA. The default rated current listed for this model is 700mA.
What input voltage range does the LCM-40BLE accept?
This driver accepts 180 to 295VAC input, and it also supports 254 to 417VDC. That wide input range makes it suitable for commercial mains-powered LED lighting applications using the published electrical limits for this model.
Is the LCM-40BLE suitable for demanding temperature conditions?
The published working temperature is Tcase -25 to +90C, with output load derating at higher temperatures as shown in the output load vs temperature curve. That makes it appropriate for LED lighting environments where thermal performance matters, provided the application stays within the model's stated limits.
How does the LCM-40BLE compare with a fixed-current LED driver?
The main advantage of the LCM-40BLE is flexibility, because one model covers several output current options instead of only one fixed current. It also combines constant current operation with Casambi and push dimming, which can reduce the need to source different driver variants for similar projects.
