Mean Well Products

Mean Well's most popular series include the LRS series for cost-effective enclosed power supplies (35-600W), the RS series for high-performance industrial applications (15-150W), the HLG series for outdoor LED lighting (40-600W), and the RSP series for high-power industrial applications (75-500W). For medical applications, the GSM and RPS series are widely used. The SD series offers reliable DIN rail mount power supplies for industrial control panels. Each series is optimized for specific applications with appropriate features, certifications, and price points. Our sales team can help you select the best series for your requirements based on power rating, environmental conditions, and certification needs.

Mean Well uses a systematic part numbering convention that indicates series, power rating, and output voltage. For example, in LRS-350-24: LRS is the series, 350 indicates 350W power rating, and 24 indicates 24V output. The HLG-240H-48A indicates HLG series, 240W, 48V output, high input voltage range (H), and adjustable current (A). When cross-referencing competitor products, compare input voltage range, output voltage/current, power rating, efficiency, dimensions, and safety certifications. Our FAE team can assist with cross-referencing and provide comparison datasheets.

Constant voltage (CV) LED drivers maintain a fixed output voltage (typically 12V or 24V) and the current varies based on the LED load. They're suitable for LED strips and modules with built-in current regulation. Constant current (CC) drivers maintain a fixed output current (e.g., 700mA, 1050mA) and the voltage varies to maintain that current. CC drivers are required for high-power LEDs and fixtures without internal regulation. Mean Well offers both types: the LPV and LPF series are constant voltage, while the HLG and XLG series offer both CV and CC versions.

Many Mean Well power supplies support parallel operation for increased power capacity or redundancy. Series with built-in parallel capability include the RSP-750/1000/1500/2000/3000, RST-5000/7500/15000, and DRP series. These models feature active current sharing that automatically balances load between units. For redundancy applications, the DR-RDN20 or DR-RDN40 redundancy modules can be used with compatible power supplies.
