Test conditions and notes9
- 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. Standby power consumption is measured at 180~230VAC.
- 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. 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. 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.

FAQ
Can I use the LCM-40DA2 for DALI2-controlled LED downlights?
Yes, this model is intended for constant current LED use and includes a DALI interface (IEC62386-101, 102, 207, 251), which makes it relevant for downlight systems that need dimming control. The rated power is 42W, and it should only be matched to constant current LED loads rather than constant voltage products.
Is the LCM-40DA2 a fit for LED signage modules?
It may be a fit only when the signage module is designed for constant current operation and the load matches this driver's listed output characteristics. If the module expects constant voltage power instead, this is the wrong driver type even though it supports selectable current settings by dip switch.
Can this model power a small LED array that needs dimming?
It can work for a small constant current LED array where the load matches the driver's listed output characteristics and the 42W rating. Its DALI interface also makes it relevant where digital dimming is part of the lighting system.
What should I check for LED compatibility with the LCM-40DA2?
Use it only with constant current LEDs and verify that the LED load falls within the DC voltage range for the selected current: 2-100V at 350mA, 2-80V at 500mA, 2-67V at 600mA, 2-57V at 700mA (default), 2-45V at 900mA or 2-40V at 1050mA. The number of LEDs depends on each LED forward voltage, so the correct check is total forward voltage, not a fixed LED quantity.
Is the LCM-40DA2 for indoor or outdoor use?
The spec sheet does not list an IP rating or outdoor suitability, so the protection level has to come from the final fixture or enclosure. Its working temperature is specified as a case temperature (Tcase) of -30°C to +90°C, with 20-90% RH non-condensing humidity.
