Test conditions and notes15
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
  5. 5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  6. 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. 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. 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. 9. For OTP which triggered at light load/no load condition, proceed AC repower on to recovery.
  10. 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 75℃ or less.
  11. 11. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
  12. 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. 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. 14. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
  15. 15. Products sourced from the Americas regions may only have the UL, CE and UKCA logos. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.

FAQ

What kind of applications is the Mean Well S-HLG-185H-24 best suited for?

The S-HLG-185H-24 is suited to 24V LED lighting applications that need a higher-power constant voltage + constant current supply, including indoor or outdoor commercial lighting projects. Its 187.2W rated output, IP67/IP65 design, and wide 90-305VAC input range make it a practical choice for buyers sourcing dependable power for signage, architectural, or street-lighting related systems.

What are the main electrical specifications of the S-HLG-185H-24?

This model is rated at 187.2W with a 24V output and 7.8A rated current. It accepts a wide 90-305VAC input and is designed for high efficiency, with a typical efficiency of 93.5% listed for the 24V model (up to 94% across the series).

Is the Mean Well S-HLG-185H-24 suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?

Yes. The product is described as having an IP67 / IP65 design for indoor or outdoor installations, and it includes protection against short circuit, over current, over voltage, and over temperature. Its operating case temperature (Tcase) range is listed from -40°C to +90°C, with load derating at higher temperatures.

Does the S-HLG-185H-24 support dimming control?

No. The listed dimming control for this model is none, so buyers should treat it as a non-dimming 24V power supply. If dimming is required for the project, a different model variant would be the better fit.

What makes the S-HLG-185H-24 different from lower-power 24V LED power supplies?

The main difference is output capacity: this model provides 187.2W at 24V with 7.8A rated current, which suits larger or more demanding 24V lighting loads than smaller units. It also combines 93.5% typical efficiency, PFC (PF≥0.98 at 115VAC), IP67 / IP65 protection for indoor or outdoor use, and a metal housing, which helps it stand out for commercial-grade use.
