HLG 200W power supply (6 vero 29c cobs) run at 200W or 225W(maximum)?

HLG185H-C500A
The driver goes from 95 watts till 225watts. But it is rated for 200W maximum. I run 6 vero cobs vero 29c with it.

Why not run it in maximum?
Not everyone has a watts meter to verify it runs more than 200 watts.

And I have a HLG320H-C700A running 6 cobs vero 29c, it goes from 105 watts till 337 watts. But meanwell pdf says maximum 300watts.
And a HLG320H-C700B -ends with a B, not an A, it means I cannot dim it without installing a potenciometer. It shows 299.5 watts.


I don't understand, why drives finishes with an A (dimming option) can be run higher than B option. It doesn't make logic. The 2 are in the maximum power but the ones with dimming option (version A) run at bigger wattage.

Yeah they just do mate.
Run them at max if you want to. Nothing to worry about.

Test report says they get between 102% to 108% for a maximum output current for that driver. So looks like they will go 216 watts on the output side, factor in the efficiency of the driver which is 94% so that about 12 watts and you have a max of about 228 watts for that driver on the input or A/C side. So you are good nothing to worry about. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1975/6395/files/hlg-185h-c500-testreport.PDF

I will run them in the maximum this month because I need more light than usually, thinking that could damage the cobs or drivers if I put them at 108%.

Thanks, mystery solved.
