Test conditions and notes11
- 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".
- 3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 4. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 5. 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)
- 6. 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.
- 7. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >62,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃ or less.
- 8. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 9. 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. 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
- 11. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-480H-C2800A for high-power LED stadium or sports field floodlights?
Yes. The HLG-480H-C2800A delivers 479W at 2800mA constant current, providing enough power for high-output LED modules in professional sports lighting fixtures. The adjustable output (A suffix) lets you fine-tune the drive current via potentiometer to optimize luminaire efficiency. The IP65 rating suits protected outdoor equipment enclosures.
Is the HLG-480H-C2800A suitable for driving high-current LED grow light fixtures?
Yes. At 479W and 2800mA, this driver supplies substantial current for large horticultural LED arrays that require high drive currents per string. The built-in potentiometer allows current adjustment (1400-2800mA) to optimize light intensity for different crop requirements. The wide 90-305VAC input accommodates agricultural power infrastructure.
Can the HLG-480H-C2800A power LED modules in large industrial high-bay fixtures?
Yes. The 2800mA constant current output across 85-171V is well suited for high-bay LED modules that require higher drive currents. The adjustable output lets you match the current to your specific LED module's datasheet recommendation. The IP65 dust-proof and water-resistant rating handles demanding industrial environments.
What is the CC voltage range of the HLG-480H-C2800A and what does it mean for LED selection?
The constant current regulation range is 85-171V. Your series LED string's total forward voltage must fall within this range for the driver to deliver a steady 2800mA. Because the voltage range is lower than the 1400mA, 1750mA and 2100mA HLG-480H-C models (only the 3500mA model, at 68-137V, is lower), this variant suits shorter series strings of LEDs that require higher current.
How does the HLG-480H-C2800A compare to the C1400 and C2100 variants?
The HLG-480H-C series maintains approximately 480W across all variants but trades voltage range for current. The C1400 operates at 1400mA over 171-343V (longer LED strings, lower current). The C2100 runs at 2100mA over 114-229V. The C2800A drives 2800mA over 85-171V (shorter strings, higher current). Choose based on your LED module's current and voltage requirements.
Can the HLG-480H-C2800A be mounted outdoors in a sheltered equipment cabinet?
Yes. The IP65 rating protects against dust and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor cabinets, covered mounting areas, and semi-exposed locations. The -40 to +90 degree Celsius case temperature (Tcase) range handles seasonal temperature extremes. Follow MEAN WELL's user manual for IP waterproof installation cautions.
