Test conditions and notes13

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". For DA-Type, Constant Current region is 60%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
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. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ 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. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
13. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can the ELG-100-48 power 48V LED strips for an outdoor architectural lighting project?

Yes. The ELG-100-48 provides 96W at 48V DC and carries an IP67 waterproof rating, making it suitable for outdoor architectural LED strip installations. For strip rated at 10W per meter, the driver supports approximately 9.6 meters per circuit—always check your strip’s rated power per meter and apply a derating margin.

Is the ELG-100-48 waterproof enough for outdoor signage and landscape LED fixtures?

Yes. With an IP67 rating, the ELG-100-48 is dust-tight and protected against temporary water immersion. It is appropriate for outdoor LED channel-letter signs, landscape ground fixtures, and building facade luminaires exposed to direct weather; follow the IP installation cautions in MEAN WELL's user manual.

How many meters of 48V LED strip can the ELG-100-48 drive?

At 96W maximum output (200–305VAC input; 70W on 100–180VAC, e.g. 120VAC), the ELG-100-48 can supply roughly 9.6 meters of 48V strip rated at 10W per meter. For higher-density strip at 14.4W per meter, that reduces to approximately 6.6 meters. Verify your strip’s rated wattage per meter before sizing the run.

Can I use the ELG-100-48 to supply a 48V LED linear fixture inside a commercial cooler or cold-storage unit?

Yes. The -40°C to +90°C case temperature (Tcase) rating covers cold-storage environments, and the IP67 rating provides dust-tight, water-resistant protection; working humidity is rated 20–95% RH non-condensing, so avoid locations where condensation forms on the driver. The 96W output is appropriate for medium-length 48V linear fixtures.

Does the ELG-100-48 work in countries with 230V mains as well as 120V?

Yes. The universal 100–305VAC input means the ELG-100-48 operates on 120V North American supplies, 230V European supplies, and 277V commercial circuits without any wiring changes. Note the rated power is 70W at 100–180VAC and 96W at 200–305VAC.

Can the ELG-100-48 be used in a waterproof enclosure for an outdoor LED flood or wash fixture?

Yes. Its IP67 rating allows outdoor mounting in junction boxes or built into luminaire housings; follow the IP installation cautions in MEAN WELL's user manual. It is rated for a case temperature of -40°C to +90°C, with load derating at high temperatures.
