Test conditions and notes6
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25°C of ambient temperature.
- 2. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 3. Please do not exceed the rated power when choosing channel quantity and voltage range(350C/700C model).
- 4. Efficiency is measured under 230VAC input with Pout>120W and each output channel connecting with the same quantity of LEDs(similar Vf sum).
- 5. DC output voltage is measured between LED+ ~ LED-.
- 6. The power supply 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.

FAQ
What type of LED application is the Mean Well LDV-185-700B designed for?
The LDV-185-700B is an AC-DC constant-current LED driver for multi-channel LED lighting applications. It is specified for 0.7A output and supports up to 6 channels, which makes it relevant where a single driver is being considered for multiple constant-current LED loads within its stated range.
Is the LDV-185-700B a constant-current or constant-voltage LED driver?
This model is a constant-current LED driver, not a constant-voltage unit. The datasheet lists a rated current of 700mA per channel, so it is intended for LED systems that require a fixed current driver rather than a fixed-voltage output.
What are the main electrical ratings for the LDV-185-700B?
The datasheet lists an input range of 180-295Vac, a rated output current of 700mA per channel, a DC voltage range of 35-40V and a maximum rated power of 168W. It also notes that the rated power must not be exceeded when choosing channel quantity and LED voltage, so buyers matching exact electrical windows should size each channel's LED string accordingly.
How many LED channels can this driver support?
The LDV-185-700B is described as supporting a maximum of 6 channels. That makes it more relevant for multi-channel LED driver selections than single-output models, especially when a project is comparing channel capacity across similar constant-current drivers.
Does the LDV-185-700B support dimming control?
The datasheet does not list a dimming control input for this model; the only dimming it describes is OTP dimming, which reduces output current when the internal NTC temperature exceeds 90°C±10°C. If a project requires integrated dimming control from the driver itself, this model should not be relied on for it.
Is the LDV-185-700B suitable for challenging ambient temperatures?
The stated operating temperature range is -30°C to 70°C (refer to the derating curve), and the unit can power on at -40°C, which is broad for commercial and industrial lighting environments. That range can make it a practical candidate where ambient conditions are colder or hotter than typical indoor spaces, provided the rest of the design matches the model's electrical and derating limits.
What warranty and physical considerations should buyers know about for this model?
The LDV-185-700B weighs 1.27kg and measures 222.2 x 90 x 38.8mm (L x W x H); a warranty period is not stated on the datasheet. For procurement and enclosure planning, that size and weight signal a heavier-duty LED driver than small low-power units, so mechanical allowance may matter at quoting stage.
