MEAN WELL HBG Series Circular LED Drivers
The HBG series is a specialized, industry-standard LED driver defined by its unique circular (round) metal housing. It operates in Constant Current (CC) mode and is masterfully engineered to perfectly match the mechanical structure of modern "UFO" style high-bay lighting and architectural spotlighting fixtures.
- Optimized Circular Form Factor: The round chassis allows lighting designers to mount the driver directly onto the center of a circular heatsink, creating a sleek, aerodynamic, and perfectly balanced UFO high-bay fixture.
- Rugged Metal Housing: Encased in a heavy-duty aluminum shell and fully potted with heat-conducting silicone, offering superior thermal dissipation and extreme structural durability.
- Harsh Environment Ready: Boasts an IP65 or IP67 rating (depending on the model), making it completely dust-tight and highly resistant to moisture in demanding industrial facilities or damp locations.
- Long Lifespan: Built with premium industrial-grade components to ensure a long operational lifespan (typically >50,000 hours) under high-temperature conditions common near factory ceilings, backed by a 5-year warranty.
Technical Highlights
- Wide Input Range: Operates on a universal AC input (90~305VAC), making it highly adaptable to standard commercial and industrial power grids worldwide.
- High Efficiency: Advanced circuit topology provides excellent energy conversion efficiency up to 93.5%, minimizing heat output and maximizing the lifespan of the attached LED modules.
- Active PFC: Built-in Active Power Factor Correction (PF > 0.95 at full load) complies with stringent harmonic current regulations (EN61000-3-2 Class C).
- Industrial Protections: Engineered with robust internal safeguards against short circuit, over-voltage, and over-temperature to ensure uninterrupted operation.
Power Range & Output Variants
The HBG series provides a classic, reliable Constant Current output tailored specifically for the wattage requirements of industrial high-bay lighting.
| Available Wattages | Output Mode | Ideal Applications |
|---|---|---|
| 60W, 100W, 160W, 200W, 240W |
Constant Current (CC) Provides a fixed current to directly drive high-power LED arrays. |
UFO high-bay fixtures, warehouse and factory ceiling lighting, stage lighting, and high-power architectural spotlights. |
Design Note: For applications requiring even higher wattages (e.g., 300W) or a Constant Power (CP) architecture that allows one driver to cover a broader range of LED board designs, consider upgrading to the heavy-duty HBGC series or the compact XBG series.
Dimming & Control Suffixes
The HBG series utilizes specific suffix codes to denote its physical tuning and smart-dimming capabilities. Choose the option that fits your facility's control network:
| Suffix Code | IP Rating | Feature Description |
|---|---|---|
| Blank | IP67 | Standard fixed output version. Cables are provided for I/O connection. No manual adjustment or dimming. Ideal for straightforward ON/OFF industrial lighting. |
| A-Type | IP65 | Features an internal potentiometer accessed via a waterproof rubber plug. Allows precise manual tuning of the Output Current (Io). |
| B-Type | IP67 | Built-in 3-in-1 Dimming function (0~10VDC, 10V PWM signal, or resistance). Controlled via an external dimming cable. |
| AB-Type | IP65 | Combines the remote 3-in-1 dimming capabilities of the B-Type with the manual current tuning of the A-Type for maximum flexibility. |
| DA-Type | IP67 | Integrated with DALI control technology for advanced, addressable digital lighting networks in smart factories and warehouses. |
