Product Overview

The MEAN WELL HLG-185H-C series is a 200W AC-to-DC constant-current (CC) LED driver family. It is designed for LED street lighting, fishing lamps, harbor lighting, building architectural lighting, greenhouse lighting, and bay lighting.

It accepts universal 90~305VAC input (127~431VDC) and provides four fixed output current options: 500mA, 700mA, 1050mA and 1400mA. With peak efficiency up to 94%, the driver uses a fanless design and operates at case temperatures from -40C to +90C under free air convection.

The metal enclosure carries IP67 or IP65 ratings depending on the version. Four function versions are available: A (output current adjustable via built-in potentiometer, IP65), B (3-in-1 dimming, IP67), AB (current adjustment + 3-in-1 dimming, IP65), and D (timer dimming function, IP67, safety approval pending - contact MEAN WELL for details).

Protection includes OVP (auto-recovery or re-power recovery), OTP (automatic recovery after temperature drops), and short-circuit constant-current limiting with automatic recovery. The driver complies with global lighting safety and EMC standards and is backed by a 7-year warranty. Note: a switch must be installed between the mains and the LED driver to meet the latest ErP regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between HLG-185H-C500, C700, C1050 and C1400?

The model number indicates the rated constant current: C500=500mA, C700=700mA, C1050=1050mA, C1400=1400mA. Each model has a different output voltage region matched to the current. C500 covers 200~400V; C700 covers 143~286V; C1050 covers 95~190V; C1400 covers 71~143V. All share the same 200W-class enclosure, protection, and certification set.

Is HLG-185H-C a constant-voltage driver?

No. HLG-185H-C is a constant-current LED driver. It maintains a fixed output current while the output voltage varies within the specified constant-current region based on the LED load. Do not use it to power LED modules that require a constant-voltage supply.

Which version type should I choose?

A-Type for fixtures needing current tuning via internal potentiometer. B-Type for smart lighting with 1-10V/PWM/resistor dimming. AB-Type for both tuning and dimming. D-Type for timer dimming functions - contact MEAN WELL before ordering because safety approval is pending.

What IP rating do I get with each version?

B and D versions are IP67. A and AB versions are IP65. Select IP67 for direct outdoor exposure and IP65 for protected outdoor or indoor applications.

Does HLG-185H-C support high ambient temperatures?

Yes. The driver operates at case temperatures from -40C to +90C with free air convection. For lifetime, MEAN WELL specifies >62,000 hours when Tcase remains below 75C.
