HLG vs HLG c-serie

Can anyone explain why the hlg 185h-c1050 is rated 186w while the hlg c-serie is rated at 200w?

The C1050 is a 200W driver.

Dont have the DS here but pretty sure if you get it, multiply dc output, Voltage max with amps (1.05) youll get somewhere really close to 200w.

I gotta say, most of the hlg drivers do burn out around the 7 year mark, even if the leds do last longer. Purchased at least 30 various hlg drivers and after 7 years, about 6 originals are still alive, 5 were sent in under warranty and replaced and the rest died right after warranty expired.

Maybe it's the fusible link inside, but I never cracked one open to check while it was under warranty, but If I have time I will....

They aren’t great, but they Mean Well

They are fully potted. Not much point to opening them.
