Does anyone sell QB132 boards in Europe? I can only find pre-built kits that come with a driver.
Can ask hlg about their European distributors? I can't find any bare with a quick Google search.

How about the top tier gla highlight board ? I think diyleduk sells them, just dim it down if needed depending on driver.

my actual situation make the translations hard to me...

im trying to do my best...i know spanish its a problem here....but actually my posts are erased in short time...

mis post solo duran o duraran unos minutos...quizas unas horas ...pero intento borrar todos... algunos los dejo como ejemplo...

ponerse en mis zapatos... ver videos en otro idioma...y dije que hago yo para traducir videos de otros idiomas...
transcripcion de google y traductor de google...cuando hay ...que a veces no hay transcripcion del video y otras veces el traductor de google no traduce correctamente ....pero es lo que hay....

otros años estaba ayudado por un ordenador mucho mejor...el que tengo actualmente es una mezcla de piezas de pc que funciona porque tengo paciencia con el.... espero por mejores dias...no llevo prisa...

...pero la gente cambia...y te sorprende... a veces a bien y a veces a mal...
...yo tambien he cambiado...soy otra ave fenix...que renace de sus cenizas...

...espero estar mas liado este año en casa...intentando hacer mantenimiento a la casa donde vivo actualmente....que es la vieja casa de mi mujer...por lo menos esta pagada...y es otro comienzo...
...ya vi que en los foros no me quedan verdaderos amigos...solo conocidos a los que gusto a ratitos...

....me da pena por los concidos del foro...los bros...
...peo tampoco creo les importe mucho si estoy o no...

Should I swap out my 4 qb132 running on meanwell lrs 350 out for 2 qb96 on a HLG 240h 54a? For flower tent. The 4 qb132 are unfortunately the “all around” spectrum if I’m not mistaken. I like my rig I just feel like the 132s aren’t getting the proper footprint. I mean they are perfectly where they need to be, right over where each of 4 plants would sit in a 4x4, they just don’t have enough watts to power each plant on their own so I use 2qb96 in the middle and a hlg100. It’s just kind of bulky/ugly and I feel my spread could even be better.

Third wire is for a ground, young apprentice. You should ground your lighting rigs, this helps you to not die. Short runs of small diameter wire is fine but upsizing is always good.

Using rated in-wall speaker wire in walls makes sense as does having larger diameter wiring for longer runs...using fancy branded wiring does nothing.

Get 4 more QB 132, that will give you about the equivalent of 4 QB 288 and better spread. I wouldn't mix high power LED, QB96, with mid power boards

I've been running my QB96's excessively low lately (@ around 50 to 60 watts per board) and loving it. You do need more units to cover the area, but it's a nice way to disperse the light evenly.

Blasting the girls with 630/660nm Red ( G8 Bloom booster led ) as a supplement to my QB rig .
Wanted to show you how much is blasted from that little ufo. QB rig just shutdown for night and G8 before plug pulled fir the night.

Red is on during full 12/12. QB sort of overpower it while on but I wanted to show powerful it was on its own.

Part of the reason I didn’t swap boards to R Spec .... was this fully capable alternative. Best $150 spent. Was lookin at HLG 30 for UVB but I think I will fab up another SUNBLASTER T5 with Agromax pure UV instead. Plus I can alternate it with my 10000k finisher bulb.
And save some dough.

That’s what I’m sayin if there was ever a time to jump it’s now.... right now I’m running 2 qb96 4qb132 and a hlg100. Lot of wires and drivers. Heat. One stationary rig sounds frickin awesome.... just wondering if it’s gonna be all I ever hoped for. I hate LED light not penetrating too well. Lower bud not being too dense. Wonder if the 600rspec is fantastic?

How much are height issues a concern? 600R needs to be hung higher than Diablo boards and bar style LED.

I’m going to have to order the tall vivosun tent instead of this stupid roof shaped one I have now. It’s about a foot shorter. I measured earlier. It absolutely will not work with where my canopy is, even at shortest possible distance away. Can’t do it unless I can mold it into half the carbon filter..... so it’ll be a thousand dollar deal at the end of the day. May do it. May not...

penetration? This is THE most powerful LED on the market. My DIY Diablo light kickass at only 400 watts! I keep it 30" above my vegging plants even at that power. If you want to run that light at full power, you'd best be running CO2 with it!
