Mean Well HLG-185H-36A LED Driver

The Mean Well HLG-185H-36A is a 185W single-output switching power supply designed for LED lighting and street lighting applications. It delivers a fixed 36V output at 5.2A with high efficiency up to 94% and built-in active PFC. The unit carries IP67 and IP65 ratings for indoor or outdoor installations. It meets 4kV surge immunity level IEC61000-4-5 and suits Class I Division 2 hazardous locations.

Installation and wiring considerations

Installation uses universal AC input up to 305VAC with free air convection cooling requiring no fan. A-Type models allow output voltage and constant current adjustment via internal potentiometer. B-Type adds 3 in 1 dimming via 1~10VDC PWM signal or resistance. C-Type provides terminal block I/O connections while Blank-Type uses cables. Protections cover short circuit over current over voltage and over temperature. Wiring must respect the IP rating chosen for the environment.

Capacity limits and headroom

The 185W rating comfortably handles LED arrays drawing up to 5.2A at 36V. Headroom exists for surge events at the rated 4kV immunity level. The driver runs out when load exceeds 185W or when input voltage falls outside the universal range. Builders needing higher wattage should consider 240W models while those requiring lower power can select 150W variants. The 7-year warranty covers the rated operating envelope.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the HLG-185H-36A is delivering 36V and 5.2A after installation?

Measure the output with a multimeter under load; the unit should show 36V and up to 5.2A, and the LED string should run at full brightness without flicker.

What comes in the box with the HLG-185H-36A and what must I source separately?

The power supply unit is supplied; you must provide AC input cable, DC output wiring, and any dimming control wires required for your installation.

Which HLG-185H variant — A-Type, B-Type, Blank-Type or D-Type — should I choose for my project?

Choose A-Type for internal potentiometer adjustment, B-Type for 1-10V, PWM or resistance dimming, Blank-Type for simple cable connection, or D-Type for timer dimming.
