Notes
- All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25°C of ambient temperature.
- Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uF & 47uF parallel capacitor.
- Tolerance: includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to "STATIC CHARACTERISTIC" sections for details.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- This series meets the typical life expectancy of >62,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly Tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80°C or less.
- Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
- The ambient temperature derating of 3.5°C/1000m with fanless models and of 5°C/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).

Block Diagram
The HLG-150H series operates through several stages: an EMI Filter & Rectifiers receive the AC input and convert it to DC. A PFC Circuit shapes the input current for power factor correction, controlled by PFC Control. The Power Switching stage, managed by PWM Control, converts the DC to high-frequency AC. This is then rectified and filtered by Rectifiers & Filter. Finally, a Detection Circuit monitors output voltage (OVP), over-load (OLP), and over-temperature (OTP) conditions to ensure safe operation. The output provides +V, -V, and DIM+/- terminals (for B-Type models).
Diagram shows input (I/P, FG) going through EMI Filter & Rectifiers, PFC Circuit (with PFC Control), Power Switching (with PWM Control), Rectifiers & Filter, to Detection Circuit (OVP, OLP, OTP) and output (+V, -V, DIM+/-).
Driving Methods of LED Module
This series can operate in either Constant Current (direct drive) mode or Constant Voltage mode (typically with an additional DC/DC driver) to power LEDs.
Graph shows Output Current (Io) normalized by rated current (%) on the X-axis and Output Voltage (Vo) normalized by rated voltage (%) on the Y-axis. It illustrates two regions: (A) Constant Voltage area and (B) Constant Current region. In the constant current region, the output voltage adjusts based on the connected load.
Dimming Operation
The HLG-150H series offers a 3-in-1 dimming function for B and AB-Type models. The output constant current level can be adjusted using one of three methodologies applied between the DIM+ and DIM- terminals: 1~10VDC, 10V PWM signal, or resistance. Direct connection to LEDs is suggested, and using additional drivers is not recommended. The dimming source current from the power supply is approximately 100μA.
Dimming Methods
- 1~10VDC Additive Voltage: Applying a voltage between 1V and 10V to DIM+ and DIM- adjusts the output current. The graph shows output current percentage increasing linearly from 10% at 1V to 100% at 10V.
- 10V PWM Signal: Applying a 10V PWM signal (frequency range 100Hz ~ 3KHz) to DIM+ and DIM- adjusts the output current. The graph shows output current percentage increasing linearly with the duty cycle of the PWM signal from 10% to 100%.
- Additive Resistance: Applying a resistance between DIM+ and DIM- adjusts the output current. The graph shows output current percentage increasing linearly with decreasing resistance (from 100KΩ down to 10KΩ, representing 10% to 100% output).
Important Note: DO NOT connect "DIM-" to "-V".
Diagrams illustrate the wiring for each dimming method (1-10VDC, 10V PWM, Resistance) using DIM+ and DIM- terminals, along with corresponding output current vs. input graphs.
External Control Configuration
For applications requiring 0% brightness or external ON/OFF control, a switch and relay can be used in conjunction with the HLG-150H (B-Type). The configuration involves connecting the switch and relay to control the dimming input signal (10K/N~100K/N Ohms resistance, 1~10V DC Voltage, or 10V PWM Signal) which is then applied to the DIM+ and DIM- terminals of the LED driver.
Diagram shows AC input (L, N, FG) connected to a relay and switch. The switch/relay controls the dimming signal (resistance, voltage, or PWM) which is then connected to the DIM+ and DIM- terminals of the HLG-150H driver, and finally to the LED Lighting Fixture.
Performance Characteristics
The following graphs illustrate the performance of the HLG-150H series under various conditions:
- Output Load vs. Temperature: Graphs show the maximum allowable load percentage relative to Ambient Temperature (Ta) and Case Temperature (Tcase). The load capacity decreases as temperature increases beyond certain points.
- Static Characteristics: This graph illustrates the relationship between Load Percentage and Input Voltage (V) at 60Hz. It indicates that de-rating may be necessary under low input voltages.
- Power Factor (PF) Characteristic: This graph shows the Power Factor (PF) versus Load percentage at Tcase = 80°C for different input voltages (115VAC, 230VAC, 277VAC). The PF remains high across the load range, especially at higher input voltages.
- Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): This graph displays the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) percentage versus Load percentage for the 48V model at Tcase = 80°C, across different input voltages (115VAC, 230VAC, 277VAC). THD generally increases with load.
- Efficiency vs. Load: This graph shows the efficiency percentage versus Load percentage for the 48V model at Tcase = 80°C, across different input voltages (115VAC, 230VAC, 277VAC). The HLG-150H series achieves superior working efficiency, up to 94%.
- Life Time: This graph shows the expected lifetime in thousands of hours (Kh) versus Case Temperature (Tcase) in °C. It demonstrates that higher case temperatures significantly reduce the product's lifespan.
Mechanical Specifications
The HLG-150H series is available in different types (Blank/D, A, B, AB) with specific dimensions and cable configurations. The overall dimensions for all types are approximately 228mm in length, 68mm in width, and 38.8mm in height. Input cables (FG, AC/L, AC/N) and output cables (+V, -V, DIM+/- for B/AB types) are specified with wire gauges and types. The diagrams detail the placement of the case temperature point (tc) and adjustment potentiometers (Vo ADJ., Io ADJ.) for relevant models.
Detailed mechanical drawings show the dimensions, cable entry points, and connector types for Blank/D-Type, A-Type, B-Type, and AB-Type models of the HLG-150H series. Cable specifications like SJOW 17AWG&H05RN-F 1.0mm²*3C and UL2517 20AWG*2C are noted. Max. Case Temperature (tc) is indicated.
Waterproof Connection
For operation in dry, wet, damp, or outdoor environments, waterproof connectors can be assembled on the output cable of the HLG-150H. Available connector sizes include M12 (4-PIN, 5-PIN) and M15 (2-PIN), with specified current ratings. A CJ04 cable joiner is also available independently for user assembly, suitable for different wire gauges (CJ04-1 for 14-16AWG, CJ04-2 for 18-22AWG). Up to four wires can be connected using this joiner via soldering or clamping. A junction box option is available for A/Blank-Type models.
Diagrams illustrate the application of waterproof connectors (M12, M15) on the HLG-150H output, and the CJ04 cable joiner for connecting LED lamps. A junction box option diagram is also shown.
