Test conditions and notes15
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current 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 driver 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. 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.
- 9. For OTP which triggered at light load/no load condition, proceed AC repower on to recovery.
- 10. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >62,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
- 11. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- 12. 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).
- 13. 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
- 14. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-150H-48 to power 48V LED street lights?
Yes. The HLG-150H-48 delivers 153.6W at 48V with up to 3.2A in constant-current mode, suitable for 48V LED street light fixtures. Its IP67 waterproof rating and -40°C to +90°C case-temperature (Tcase) range allow reliable operation in fully exposed outdoor pole-mounted installations.
Is the HLG-150H-48 a good fit for 48V LED high-bay industrial lighting?
Yes. With 153.6W at 48V output, it can drive 48V high-bay LED fixtures used in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers. The fanless metal housing is cooled by free air convection (derate the load at high temperatures per the datasheet curve), and the wide 90-305VAC input handles varying industrial power supplies.
Can the HLG-150H-48 power 48V LED modules in outdoor signage?
Yes. At 153.6W and 48V, it can drive 48V LED channel letters, cabinet signs, or light-box modules. The 48V output reduces current draw compared to lower-voltage alternatives, allowing longer wire runs with less voltage drop — a practical advantage for large sign installations.
How many meters of 48V LED strip can the HLG-150H-48 power?
Divide the 153.6W rated power by your strip's power consumption per meter. For example, a 48V strip rated at 10W/m could run about 15.3 meters (153.6W / 10W per meter). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep total load at or below 153.6W.
Can the HLG-150H-48 be mounted outdoors without a separate enclosure?
Yes. Its IP67 waterproof rating means the unit is sealed against dust and protected against temporary water immersion. It can be mounted directly on outdoor walls, poles, or structures, even in heavy rain or snow; make the wiring connections with waterproof connectors or a cable joiner as shown on the datasheet.
What are the differences between the HLG-150H-48, 48A, 48AB, and 48B models?
All four share the same 153.6W / 48V / 3.2A core specs. The base HLG-150H-48 has no output adjustment and is IP67 waterproof. The -48A adds output voltage/current adjustment via built-in potentiometer and is IP65. The -48AB adds both adjustment and 1-10V/PWM dimming input (IP65). The -48B adds dimming input only and retains IP67.
