Test conditions and notes14
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. De-rating may be need under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12” twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uF & 47uF parallel capacitor.
- 4. Tolerance: includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 5. 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.
- 6. Flicker is measured at full load with the light source provided by MEAN WELL.
- 7. To fulfill requirement of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 8. 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)
- 9. The ambient temperature de-rating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 10. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃ or less.
- 11. RCM is on a voluntary basis. Non IC classification Independent LED control gear is not suitable for residential installations.

FAQ
What is the output rating of the Mean Well XLN-40-12?
The XLN-40-12 is rated for 40.8 W output power. It provides 12 V output at up to 3.4 A rated current, making it suitable for constant-voltage 12 V LED loads within that power range.
Is the XLN-40-12 suitable for 12 V LED lighting?
Yes. This model is a 12 V constant-voltage LED driver, so it is intended for compatible 12 V LED lighting products that stay within its 40.8 W and 3.4 A ratings.
Can the Mean Well XLN-40-12 be used in wet or dusty environments?
The XLN-40-12 has a fully encapsulated IP67 design. That rating indicates strong protection against dust and water exposure, making it appropriate for many demanding LED lighting environments where an IP67-rated driver is required.
What temperature range does the XLN-40-12 support?
This model is specified for operation from -25 °C to 90 °C. Buyers should confirm the actual application environment stays within that listed temperature range.
Is the XLN-40-12 dimmable?
The XLN-40-12 is a constant-voltage model with a fixed output; it does not support dimming. Dimming functions (DALI-2, push-button, or 3-in-1) are available only on specific H-type variants (e.g., XLN-40-H-B or XLN-40-H-DA2).
What applications is the Mean Well XLN-40-12 typically used for?
The XLN-40-12 is used for 12 V constant-voltage LED driver applications where a compact 40.8 W power supply is needed. Its IP67 encapsulated plastic housing and wide temperature rating make it relevant for LED lighting projects that need protected, reliable power conversion.
How long is the warranty on the XLN-40-12?
The XLN-40-12 includes a 5-year warranty according to the provided product data. That warranty period is a useful consideration for commercial and B2B LED lighting projects.
