Part 2 of this series examines constant voltage models and parallel wiring, as well as thermal runaway and series-parallel wiring.

The Mean Well HLG line is the undisputed king of drivers in the DIY LED grow light world. The goal for this series of videos is to provide a complete breakdown of everything you need to know about them, whether you’re totally new to DIY LED, or a seasoned vet. We’ll be covering:
- Constant current vs. constant voltage and the pros and cons of each
- Series and parallel wiring, and when you might need to use each type
- A-type vs. B-type drivers and some considerations you’ll need to make when picking between them
- Dimming single and multiple drivers
- Reading the data sheets and applying the important specifications
- Matching any LED to a CC and CV driver
Part 1 of this series provides an overview on the different types of drivers within the HLG line and focuses on constant current models and series wiring.
Hi all,
It can be a pain in the ass having to sort through a bunch of data sheets to find what you’re looking for, so I’ve compiled all the relevant specs for Mean Well Constant Current and Constant Voltage HLG series drivers into a couple spread sheets. I’ve also pulled data from their test reports – you’ll see info from the specification sheet marked “SPEC” and then info from Mean Well’s testing, marked “REPORT”. You’ll notice that usually these drivers are capable of doing a little more than they’re rated for, however this is often for the “A” type driver, on which you are able to adjust the voltage or current higher than you can on the “B” type.
Here is the constant current sheet.
