Test conditions and notes5
- 1. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 2. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- 3. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 4. 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).
- 5. 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

FAQ
Can I use the PCD-16-1050B for a 1050mA LED downlight?
Yes, if the fixture is designed for constant current operation at 1050mA and the LED load stays within the 12-16V constant current range. This is a constant current driver, so it is for LED downlights that call for 1050mA rather than constant voltage input. Its rated output power is 16.8W.
Is this driver suitable for indoor LED signage modules?
It can be a fit for indoor signage modules when the module string is a constant current 1050mA load within the 12-16V CC range. The IP42 case is better suited to indoor or protected locations rather than exposed wet areas. It is not a constant voltage driver for 12V or 24V signage systems.
Can the PCD-16-1050B run a small LED array for architectural accent lighting?
Yes, for a small LED array that requires 1050mA constant current and operates within 12-16V under load. With 16.8W output, it is intended for lower-power arrays rather than larger multi-module assemblies. The driver is also TRIAC dimmable if the lighting design uses that control method.
How do I know if my LED load is compatible with this driver?
The LED load must require constant current at 1050mA, and the total forward voltage of the LEDs must fall within the 12-16V constant current output range. The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so compatibility is based on the full series voltage, not a fixed LED count. If your product needs constant voltage output, this is the wrong driver type.
Is the PCD-16-1050B suitable for damp or hot locations?
The operating temperature range is -30°C to +60°C, so it can handle a broad temperature range within its rated conditions. Its enclosure is IP42, which means it is better suited to indoor or protected environments than exposed outdoor locations. For wet or washdown areas, a higher-IP driver is usually the better match.
