Test conditions and notes10
- 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. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 4. 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.
- 5. 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.
- 6. 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.
- 7. 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.
- 8. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
- 9. 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).
- 10. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using.

FAQ
Can I use the HLG-320H-C700A to power long LED string arrays for channel letter signage?
Yes. The HLG-320H-C700A delivers 700mA constant current with a CC voltage range of 214-428V, which supports very long series strings of LEDs. This makes it well suited for channel letters, large illuminated signs, and other applications requiring many LEDs in series. The total forward voltage of your LED string must fall within 214-428V.
Is the HLG-320H-C700A suitable for driving high-bay LED fixtures in industrial settings?
Yes. At 299.6W and 700mA constant current, this driver can power high-bay LED modules whose combined forward voltage falls within 214-428V. The adjustable output via built-in potentiometer lets you fine-tune the current to match your fixture's optimal operating point. Its -40°C to +85°C operating range handles unheated warehouses.
Can the HLG-320H-C700A power LED modules in a large outdoor billboard?
Yes. The 299.6W output at 700mA can drive substantial LED module arrays for billboard or large-format sign illumination, as long as the series string voltage falls within 214-428V. Its IP65 rating protects against dust and rain in sheltered outdoor mounting locations. For fully exposed sites, consider the IP67-rated HLG-320H-C700DA.
How many LEDs can I connect in series with the HLG-320H-C700A?
The count depends on each LED's individual forward voltage. The driver provides 700mA constant current across a CC voltage range of 214-428V, which is a high range that accommodates very long series LED strings. Sum your LEDs' forward voltages and verify the total stays within 214-428V. The adjustable output allows fine-tuning.
Can the HLG-320H-C700A be installed in a dusty outdoor enclosure?
Yes. Its IP65 rating provides complete protection against dust ingress and resistance to low-pressure water jets. It is appropriate for sheltered outdoor enclosures, canopies, or ventilated cabinets. For locations subject to temporary flooding or submersion, an IP67-rated variant like the HLG-320H-C700DA would be more appropriate.
What does the 'A' suffix mean on the HLG-320H-C700A compared to the AB, B, and DA versions?
The -C700A includes a built-in potentiometer for output current adjustment but has no dimming signal input. The -C700AB adds both a potentiometer and 1-10V/PWM dimming. The -C700B provides dimming input only without the potentiometer. The -C700DA features DALI dimming and is upgraded to IP67. All share the same 299.6W, 700mA, 214-428V core specs.
