Test conditions and notes13
- 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. 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. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 6. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 7. The DA type power supply is less efficient than the typical efficiency in specification by 1%.
- 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.
- 9. 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.
- 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 70℃ or less.
- 11. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL’s website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 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. 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 HBG-160-36A for a 36V indoor sign or display lighting system?
It can fit a 36V lighting load if the total demand stays within 158.4W and 4.4A. This version is IP65 water-resistant, so it is better suited to indoor use or protected outdoor locations than fully exposed wet environments.
Is this adjustable 36V driver suitable for a high bay or low bay fixture?
Yes, the series is specified for high/low bay light use, and this model provides up to 158.4W at 36V. The connected fixture still needs to operate within the 21-36V constant current range.
Can the HBG-160-36A be used for covered outdoor lighting?
Its IP65 rating means it is water-resistant rather than waterproof. It can suit a protected outdoor lighting location if the 36V load stays within 158.4W and the environment does not require an IP67 enclosure.
How do I estimate the maximum 36V LED strip length for this driver?
Divide the driver's 158.4W maximum by the strip's rated watts per meter. The formula is 158.4 ÷ strip W/m, but you should check your strip rated power per meter and confirm it is a 36V load within the 21-36V CC range.
Is the HBG-160-36A OK for rain, washdown, or fully exposed outdoor locations?
This version is IP65 water-resistant, so it is intended for dust protection and resistance to water spray rather than full waterproof exposure. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, but the enclosure rating is the main limit for outdoor placement.
How does the HBG-160-36A compare with the other HBG-160 voltage versions?
In the HBG-160 range, the 24V model is 156W at 6.5A with a 14-24V CC range, the 36V model is 158.4W at 4.4A with a 21-36V CC range, the 48V model is 158.4W at 3.3A with a 28-48V CC range, and the 60V model is 156W at 2.6A with a 36-60V CC range. This 36A version shares the 36V, 158.4W, and 4.4A electrical rating.
