Test conditions and notes6
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25°C of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 3. Please do not exceed the rated power when choosing channel quantity and voltage range(350C/700C model).
  4. 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. 5. DC output voltage is measured between LED+ ~ LED-.
  6. 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-185-700C designed for?

The LDV-185-700C is an AC-DC constant-current LED driver intended for commercial or industrial LED lighting applications. It is suited to systems that require a 700 mA constant-current output and support multiple output channels. Buyers typically consider this model for higher-power LED projects where a multi-channel driver is needed.

What output does the LDV-185-700C provide?

This model is rated for 700 mA constant-current output per channel over a DC voltage range of 40-48 V, with a maximum rated power of 185 W. The datasheet notes that the rated power must not be exceeded when choosing channel quantity and LED voltage, so buyers should match the driver against the exact requirements of their project. The key output characteristic of this model is its constant-current 700 mA rating.

How many channels does this LED driver support?

The LDV-185-700C supports up to 6 channels. That makes it relevant for LED systems that need one driver to serve multiple constant-current output paths. For procurement and design review, the maximum channel count is one of this model's main differentiators.

Does the LDV-185-700C support dimming control?

The datasheet does not list a dimming control input for this model. The only dimming it describes is OTP dimming: when the internal NTC temperature exceeds 90°C±10°C, the driver reduces its output current as thermal protection. If dimming control is a requirement, this model may need to be compared against other LED driver options.

What input range does the LDV-185-700C accept?

The listed input range for this driver is 180-295 Vac. That range is useful for buyers evaluating compatibility with available AC supply conditions in commercial or industrial environments. It is an AC-DC LED driver, so its intended use is with AC input power within that specified range.

Is the LDV-185-700C suitable for demanding ambient conditions?

This model is specified for an operating temperature range of -30 °C to 70 °C (refer to the derating curve), and it can power on at -40 °C. That gives it a relatively wide environmental range for LED driver applications exposed to cold or hot operating conditions. Buyers should still confirm that the full application stays within the published temperature and derating limits.

What warranty and physical considerations should buyers know about for this model?

The datasheet lists a weight of 1.27 kg and dimensions of 222.2 x 90 x 38.8 mm (L x W x H), which can matter for enclosure planning, mounting hardware selection, and shipping estimates. A warranty period is not stated on the datasheet. These details are useful for commercial purchasing as well as project documentation.
