So as the title suggests, it seems like some of the larger/newer of the HLG drivers now feature 0-10v dimming...

I am looking to buy a
HLG-240H-C1400B
and I have seen pictures of what appears to be a new version of this driver (the top sticker has black parts on the sides) with 0-10v dimming, but I cannot seem to find it for sale anywhere in US.

I would really like to source a supplier for these newer versions of the series and I may look into replacing all of my HLG drivers and completely doing away with timers in the future.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Is there a new part number for the new version? Cheers

Check with trcelectronics us supplier of meanwell drivers spoke with them last week and I believe they said the1750's and above will dim to 0 the rest not yet in the US. You can google them and call them smart nice folks

All the "B" versions have 0-10v external dimming leads. If you're referring to the dim-to-off feature like the 320/480/600 I would just call Mouser and ask if they have them. If they're available I'm sure Mouser would have a couple to sell.

All the B versions have 1-10v dimming which is exactly the point. I'm looking for 0-10v

Gotcha. ELGs will work, not quite as efficient though I guess. Post it up if you find a good source for the 240s!

Yeah I am considering the ELGs but like you say, slightly worse efficiency rating and I've just become accustomed to the solid feel of the HLGs - feels like they will last forever.

im not sure the relabeling was consistent with the dim-to-zero upgrade

i have some 320s with the old labeling that dim to zero

note the 2017 datasheet for 240H shows pic of new driver but lists 1-10V dimming

That would make a lot of sense as I seeing what seem to be conflicting pictures and descriptions/datasheets. I guess I need to get on the phone and talk to someone at the stores - maybe I have to bite the bullet and get 320s but I would really prefer not to.

Thanks for the info folks.
