Test conditions and notes14
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 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. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 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 first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 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. 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. For OTP which triggered at light load/no load condition, proceed AC repower on to recovery.
- 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. 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
- 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
Can I use the HLG-120H-36 to power 36V LED strip lighting outdoors?
Yes. The HLG-120H-36 outputs 36V at up to 3.4A (122.4W) and carries an IP67 waterproof rating, so it can be mounted in locations exposed to rain, snow, or irrigation spray. Its metal housing and -40°C to +80°C case temperature (Tcase) rating handle harsh outdoor conditions year-round.
Is the HLG-120H-36 suitable for powering 36V LED modules in channel-letter signs?
Yes. With 122.4W at 36V, the HLG-120H-36 can drive a substantial array of 36V LED sign modules for channel letters, cabinet signs, or monument signage. The IP67 waterproof enclosure and wide 90-305VAC input make it practical for exposed outdoor sign installations across different mains voltages.
Can the HLG-120H-36 power a 36V LED high-bay or industrial fixture?
Yes. At 122.4W and 36V constant-current output (up to 3.4A), the HLG-120H-36 is well matched to medium-wattage 36V LED high-bay lights or industrial luminaires. The IP67 rating and wide case temperature range allow installation in factories, warehouses, or covered loading docks.
How many meters of 36V LED strip can the HLG-120H-36 drive?
That depends on the strip's power draw per meter. The HLG-120H-36 delivers up to 122.4W at 36V. For example, a strip rated at 15W/m would allow about 8 meters (122.4W / 15W per meter = 8.2m). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep total load at or below 122.4W.
Can the HLG-120H-36 handle freezing temperatures in an unheated outdoor enclosure?
Yes. It is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +80°C, so it will start and run reliably in sub-zero conditions. The IP67 waterproof rating also protects against water ingress from ice melt or direct precipitation.
What are the differences between the HLG-120H-36, 36A, 36AB, and 36B variants?
All four share the same 122.4W / 36V / 3.4A core specs and CC voltage range of 18-36V. The base HLG-120H-36 has fixed output and IP67 waterproof rating. The -36A adds output voltage/current adjustment via built-in potentiometer (IP65). The -36AB adds both adjustment and 1-10V/PWM dimming input (IP65). The -36B offers dimming input only and retains IP67 waterproof rating.
