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 PLD-16-1400A for a single LED downlight module?
Yes, if the downlight is designed for 1400mA constant current. The LED load must operate within the 8-12V constant current range and within the 16.8W rating.
Is this driver suitable for compact signage light modules?
It can be suitable when the signage module is made for 1400mA constant current operation. The total forward voltage of the module string must stay within 8-12V, and it is not for constant voltage signage products.
Can the PLD-16-1400A power a small LED array?
Yes, for a small LED array that requires 1400mA constant current and falls within the 8-12V CC range. The exact number of LEDs depends on the forward voltage of each LED rather than a fixed count.
Is this a better match for low-voltage constant current LED loads than higher-voltage arrays?
Yes, this model is intended for LED loads that operate within an 8-12V constant current window at 1400mA. Loads needing a higher constant current voltage range would need a different driver.
How do I confirm LED compatibility with the PLD-16-1400A?
The LED load must be specified for 1400mA constant current, with a total forward voltage between 8V and 12V. The number of LEDs depends on each LED forward voltage, so compatibility is determined by the full electrical load.
Can this driver be used in enclosed indoor fixtures with moderate environmental exposure?
Its IP42 rating is generally suited to indoor or protected fixture environments rather than exposed wet locations. It is rated for operation from -30°C to +50°C, so both enclosure conditions and ambient temperature should stay within that range.
