Test conditions and notes15
- 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 80℃ 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
- 14. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-150H-12 to power 12V LED strip lighting in an outdoor sign?
Yes. The HLG-150H-12 delivers 12V at up to 12.5A (150W) and has an IP67 waterproof rating, so it can be mounted inside outdoor sign cabinets or other exposed enclosures. The fanless metal housing and -40°C to +90°C case-temperature (Tcase) range also handle harsh weather conditions.
Is the HLG-150H-12 suitable for powering 12V LED facade or building accent lighting?
It is a strong fit for facade and building accent lighting using 12V LED strips or modules. With 150W of output and IP67 waterproof protection, the driver can be installed in exposed outdoor locations close to the LED fixtures. The wide 90-305VAC input accepts mains supplies worldwide.
Can I run 12V LED under-cabinet lighting from the HLG-150H-12?
Yes, as long as the total LED load stays at or below 150W. The HLG-150H-12 provides 12V at up to 12.5A, which is ample for most residential or commercial under-cabinet LED strip runs. Its compact 228 x 68 x 38.8 mm size allows it to be concealed above cabinetry.
How many meters of 12V LED strip can the HLG-150H-12 power?
That depends on your strip's rated wattage per meter. The HLG-150H-12 provides 150W at 12V. For example, a strip drawing 14.4W/m would allow approximately 10.4 meters (150W / 14.4W per meter). Always check your strip's rated power per meter and keep total load at or below 150W.
Can the HLG-150H-12 handle full outdoor exposure including rain and temporary submersion?
Yes. The IP67 rating means the HLG-150H-12 is protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water. Combined with the sealed metal housing and -40°C to +90°C case-temperature (Tcase) range, it is built for fully exposed outdoor installations.
What are the differences between the HLG-150H-12, 12A, 12AB, and 12B variants?
All four share the same 150W, 12V, 12.5A core output. The base HLG-150H-12 has fixed output and IP67 waterproof rating. The -12A adds adjustable output via potentiometer but uses an IP65 water-resistant rating. The -12AB offers both adjustable output and dimming at IP65. The -12B provides dimming without adjustable output and retains IP67 waterproof protection.
