LED driver MEAN WELL HLG-80H-C700B 80W IP20 90-305V 0,7A 129V

The MEAN WELL HLG-80H-C700B is a constant-current LED driver rated for 80W output. It accepts a wide AC input range (90–305V) and provides a fixed output current of 0.7A with a nominal output voltage around 129V. The unit is built with active power factor correction and a cable output for straightforward connection. Its IP20 protection level and compact housing make it suitable for indoor lighting installations where a robust constant-current supply is required.

Advantages

This LED driver delivers a stable 0.7A constant current across its rated voltage, supports a wide input voltage range for international mains compatibility, and includes built-in power factor correction to improve energy efficiency. The compact dimensions allow easy integration into indoor fixtures and lighting systems. Dimming is supported via 1–10V, PWM, or resistance methods, offering flexible control options.

Suitable for

• Indoor LED luminaires and retrofit fixtures
• Linear and panel LED modules that require a 0.7A constant current
• Commercial and office lighting with centralised dimming control (1–10V or PWM)

When it may not be suitable

The IP20 rating means this driver is not suitable for outdoor, wet, or highly dusty environments; it should be installed only in dry, protected locations. It provides a fixed 0.7A output, so it is not appropriate for LED modules that require different constant currents or for applications that need a true constant-voltage supply.

Key specifications

• Output power: 80 W
• Output current: 0.7 A (constant current)
• Nominal output voltage: ~129 V DC
• Input voltage range: 90–305 V AC
• Protection class: IP20 (indoor use)
• Dimming methods: 1–10 V, PWM, resistance
• Built-in power factor correction (PFC)
• Output type: cable exit

How to use

Install the driver inside a suitable indoor luminaire or enclosure with adequate ventilation. Connect the AC mains within the specified 90–305V range to the input terminals and route the DC cable to the LED module, ensuring correct polarity. Use the 1–10V or PWM dimming terminals or an appropriate resistor if dimming is required. Follow local electrical codes and secure all wiring; do not expose the driver to moisture or install in outdoor locations without additional protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the LED module(s) are compatible with a 0.7A constant-current driver and that their forward voltage falls within the driver’s output range (around 129V nominal).
• Confirm that IP20 protection is acceptable for your installation environment (indoor, dry locations only).
• Verify that the available dimming control method (1–10V, PWM, or resistance) matches your lighting control system.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, install the driver in a ventilated indoor enclosure, match the LED load to the 0.7A output and nominal voltage range, and use compatible dimming controls. Avoid exposure to moisture and excessive dust.
