Mean Well has introduced the new HBG-160 series of 160 W power supplies for bay lighting applications. Featuring a circular design, they provide for simplified assembly and conform to the mechanical structure of high/low bay lighting fixtures.

Fully potted by glue and with an IP67 rating, the aluminium enclosure can be tightly assembled to the heatsink of lighting fixtures and provides excellent heat dissipation. Provided the temperature on the top of the enclosure can be maintained below 70°C, the power supply’s service life can be guaranteed up to 40 000 hours.

Featuring a 90–305 V a.c. input range and 24–60 V d.c. single output voltage, the HBG-160 series possesses up to 93,5% efficiency and can be cooled by free air convection from -40°C to +60°C ambient temperature. The units employ two-stage power factor correction (PFC) and comply with harmonic current limitation per EN61000-3-2 Class C (>60% load). They also guarantee PF > 0,9 if loading over 50% and have 4 kV surge immunity (EN61000-4-5) which complies with the requirements of lighting applications.

Suitable for different installation alternatives, such as chain type, hanger type or metal frame type, the power supplies can be installed with LED modules, heatsink modules and lampshades, to fulfil the various requirements of lighting fixtures. Typical applications include LED high/low bay lighting, stage lighting, LED spot lighting and other outdoor architectural lighting systems.

Besides standard protection functions include short circuit, over-voltage, overload and over-temperature. These power units have a 5-year warranty and provide three-in-one dimming functionality. They comply with global certificates per UL/ CUL/ TUV/ CB/ CE.
