  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. 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.

FAQ

What are the main electrical ratings of the Mean Well S-HLG-480H-24?

This model is rated at 480W with a 24V output and 20A rated current. It is a high-power constant voltage + constant current LED driver intended for applications that need substantial 24V DC capacity from a single unit.

What kinds of 24V applications is the S-HLG-480H-24 best suited for?

The S-HLG-480H-24 is suited to higher-load 24V systems where 480W output is appropriate. Buyers typically consider this class of driver for commercial or industrial LED lighting systems, driven either directly in constant-current mode or in constant-voltage mode, that need a robust power source.

Is this a good choice for indoor or outdoor use?

The product description lists an IP67 / IP65 design for indoor or outdoor installations. It also uses a metal housing with Class I design, which supports use in more demanding environments when the overall application calls for a protected power supply.

What temperature range is listed for this model?

This product lists a case temperature (Tcase) range of -40°C to +90°C. That wide range makes it relevant for projects that face cold starts, while at rated current in constant-current mode the maximum ambient is about 60°C, so output derating applies in hotter surroundings.

Does the S-HLG-480H-24 include dimming control?

On the HLG-480H datasheet, the 3-in-1 dimming function (0-10VDC, 10V PWM or resistance) is provided only on B and AB types, and smart timer dimming on Dx types. This model code carries none of those suffixes, so dimming should be confirmed at the exact SKU level rather than assumed across the broader HLG family.

What makes this model different from a lower-power 24V power supply?

The main differentiator is output capacity: this unit provides 480W at 24V with 20A rated current. That makes it better suited to heavier 24V loads than smaller 24V models, especially where one supply is preferred over multiple lower-wattage units.

What warranty is listed for the Mean Well S-HLG-480H-24?

The datasheet does not state a warranty period for this model; it refers to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website (meanwell.com). Check that statement for the warranty terms that apply before relying on a specific number of years.
