185 Watt Mean Well LED Driver | HLG-185H-24A

Product Overview

The HLG-185H-24A is a 185 watt LED driver manufactured by Mean Well. This driver operates on 100V-277V input at 50/60 Hz, making it compatible with standard commercial and industrial electrical systems across a range of voltage configurations.

The unit measures 9.41 inches by 7.13 inches. It carries UL listing and an IP65 rating, which allows installation in locations exposed to dust and water spray from any direction.

Where This Product Fits Best

This driver is appropriate for 24V LED systems requiring up to 185 watts of constant power delivery. The 100V-277V input range covers the majority of commercial building voltages without the need for external transformers or voltage conversion.

The IP65 rating supports installation in damp or dusty environments where the driver may be exposed to washdown, condensation, or airborne particulates. Typical locations include exterior canopy areas, food processing spaces, and industrial production floors.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 185 watt output provides a defined ceiling for load capacity. Any LED fixture or array connected to this driver must draw within that capacity. The 24V output designation identifies this as a constant voltage driver intended for 24V DC LED systems.

Input frequency compatibility at 50/60 Hz allows operation on both domestic and international electrical grids where applicable. Voltage input flexibility from 100V to 277V means the driver can be wired to most standard service panels without modification.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The IP65 enclosure allows the driver to be mounted in locations where moisture or dust ingress would damage an unsealed unit. This includes mounting inside junction boxes, on structural supports, or in ceiling cavities where condensation may occur.

The 9.41 by 7.13 inch footprint should be verified against available mounting space, particularly in retrofit applications where driver compartments may have dimensional constraints. The driver is covered by a 3 year warranty.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This driver is typically installed to power 24V LED strips, modules, or fixtures in signage, architectural lighting, and task lighting applications. Once installed, the driver delivers constant voltage output without operator adjustment or interaction.

In day-to-day operation, the driver functions passively. Facility personnel do not typically interact with it unless troubleshooting a connected fixture or performing scheduled maintenance on the electrical system.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This driver is UL listed. The IP65 rating confirms the enclosure is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction.

LED Lighting Supply provides a 3 year warranty on this product.
