gotta love Meanwell
always updating their datasheets with useful info
saw this new chart on a HLG-185 datasheet today
recall that conventional wisdom is to feed drivers higher AC voltage for better efficiency, but note that depending on driver load, we can have up to twice the distortion at higher input voltages.
What are the practical repercussions of distortion for our application? I know that in an HID application, distortion will affect luminosity and shorten bulb life, i wonder if diodes are affected in the same way?
