DIY with Quantum Boards

[Frank Nitty]

If ya can build a rectangle out of aluminum frame 12" x 45" your in luck.
Just mount em to the frame,
wire up yhe whip to the ac side, hot, neutral, ground.
Then run your qbs in series, +,-,+,-,+,-,+,- back to driver leads. A few screws a few connectors. Easy peasy

HOW ABOUT LIKE THIS??? I COULD GO BOARDS OR STRIPS WIYH THIS RIGHT???

GUESS WHAT GUYS??? I GOT A NOTIFICATION THAT A QB100 HAS BEEN PREPARED FOR SHIPPING!!! THANKS@STEPHENJ37826!!!EVERYTHING IS COMING TOGETHER NOW FOR A REASON... JUST GOT MY OWN APARTMENT AND ITS ALL FALLING INTO PLACE!!!

 

[Frank Nitty]

Maybe. Still waiting on a quote (been 2 months). The osram square is pretty darn good and at 250ma where we run the monos I would say there is very little difference. A sphere test will tell

HOW MUCH BETTER IS THE RSPEC THAN A REGULAR V2??? IM CURIOUS... WISH I COULD TEST LIGHTS LIKE I DO SEEDS FOR PEOPLE(HINT HINT!!!)XD

I am trying too light a 4x8 tent but with financial restrictions will have too peice it together. My plan is too buy QB288 Rspec boards with heat sinks one set at a time.Ordering the drivers separate.The goal being 4 sets.Would the HLG-480H.... Be the driver I want? Second question what do the extra numbers mean HLG-480H24 HLG-48024a. Third question which one has dimming ability

OH!!!

Appox $450 aud. Postage was the killer for me.

I bet!!!

Nice top density i need to work on spreading my canopy out more with lst. I really didn't fill out the room as much as i wanted to. I left a lot of open space. I just kinda slacked on the garden this run. How many watts are you running those boards at?

Been reading a lot on here last few weeks. Had my 4 girls under two viparspectra 600w for last 3 weeks (clones) but you all have convinced me to buy the HLG 320w XL QB V2 Rspec kit. Should be here in a few days

Good deal dude I would have picked up the qb120s when i added to my v1 qb260 watt kit if they still sold them still in singles cause I lack a light budget lol

I ended up adding the 2 Atreum 144.2s which are pretty similar no heatsink and all.

 

[grilledcheese101]

Im looking to add about 120w of 3000k - or something that can supplement the red spec im missing.. Any reccomendations?

Not bad. The 288 version is only 20 w less than the hlg 288 for about 20$ less
Same diodes. I wonder how HLG can spueeze more juice outta the same board

better binning

 

[TerpyTyrone]

better binning

So its like wood. The most knotted and bowed is low grade.
The least knots and straightest boards are top grade?
Just a different grade? "Bin" of diodes?

 

[Frank Nitty]

What's the deal??? I cant even buy another light from hlg cause they're all sold ou!!! Grrrrr!!!
