Test conditions and notes12
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load 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. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
  6. 6. A type only.
  7. 7. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
  8. 8. The power supply 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)
  9. 9. 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.
  10. 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. 11. This product is not suitable for LED lighting applications in China.(It is recommended to use the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series in China)
  12. 12. 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

FAQ

Can I use the HLN-40H-42A for 42V LED signage lighting?

Yes, it is suitable for 42V signage lighting, including constant-current loads within the 25.2-42V CC region. It provides up to 0.96A and 40.3W, and signage is a typical application.

Is this a good fit for 42V architectural or accent lighting fixtures?

It can be a fit for 42V fixtures that require up to 0.96A, whether supplied at 42V in constant-voltage mode or driven within the 25.2-42V constant-current region. The key match points are the 42V output, 0.96A current, and 40.3W maximum power.

Can the HLN-40H-42A run a 42V LED strip?

Yes, within its limits. It has a constant voltage + constant current characteristic, so it can run a 42V constant-voltage strip (output adjustable 40-46V) at up to 0.96A, or drive LEDs directly in constant-current mode within the 25.2-42V region. Keep the strip load within 40.3W.

Can I use this driver in outdoor or splash-prone locations?

The IP64 enclosure is intended for dust protection and resistance to splashing water, so it is suitable for many sheltered outdoor and damp-location uses. It is also rated for -40°C to +50°C operation, which supports use across a broad temperature range.

How do I estimate the maximum LED strip length for the HLN-40H-42A?

This driver can supply up to 40.3W total. To estimate maximum length, divide 40.3W by your strip's rated watts per meter, and confirm the strip is a 42V product whose total current stays within 0.96A (or, for constant-current operation, within the 25.2-42V CC region).

What is the difference between HLN-40H-42A and the other 40W HLN outputs?

The HLN-40H family includes 12V at 3.33A, 15V at 2.67A, 20V at 2A, 24V at 1.67A, 30V at 1.34A, 36V at 1.12A, 42V at 0.96A, 48V at 0.84A, and 54V at 0.75A. The HLN-40H-42A version is the 42V adjustable model with 40.3W output and 0.96A current.
