Description
LPF-16 series is a 16W AC/DC LED driver featuring the dual modes constant voltage and constant current output. LPF-16 operates from 90 ~ 305VAC and offers models with different rated voltage ranging between 12V and 54V. Thanks to the efficiency up to 86%, with the fanless design, the entire series is able to operate for -35°C ~ +70°C case temperature under free air convection. The entire series is suitable to work for a variety of applications at dry or damp locations and the optional models with IP67 rating is able to further work at wet locations.

NOTE | 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. Please refer to “DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE”. 3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12″ twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor. 4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. 5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details. 6. 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. 7. 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. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf) 8. 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. 9. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 70℃ or less. 10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL’s website at http://www.meanwell.com 11. 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). 12. 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 ※ Product Liability Disclaimer:For detailed information, please refer to https://www.meanwell.com/serviceDisclaimer.aspx |
