    DIY with Quantum Boards

    @Stephenj37826 would it be worth running 4 boards at 42w each on the 185 do you think? Would it be worth it if running between 9 cxb 3590s at 30w each? Or just run 2 at a higher wattage for when I crank up the cxbs? I have all this light but can't decide how best to utilise it so I don't waste...

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    If a 120-1400 pulls 180 at the wall but also my 185-1400 pulls 185 from the wall. Which would be best to run 4 boards surrounded by cobs? I have both drivers so may be able to swap around if one is better than the other?

I'd like to add a fusion board or 2 to my setup, currently I have 9 cxb 3590 3k 90cri with 2 Samsung boards with 304 lm561c on each at 50w each. I'm thinking I need some red.

    Board/ driver wiring

    Seems that I could run them all in parallel for 170w so 42.5w per board which would hopefully mean I wouldn't need any heatsink

    Board/ driver wiring

    All I know is they are 110v or 115v at full power I believe inline with the qb304. Didn't know weather I should run all parallel or 2 parallel 2 series or how they should run

    i have 4 Samsung boards LIKE not the same but same config as a qb304 and was wondering if I could wire 4 to a 185-1400 driver? I have 2 on heatsinks and 2 not being used but would like to use all 4 with no heatsinks or at a push steel plate maybe. Is this even possible? Would ideally run them...

    Thanks, new to all this so still getting used to the lights compared to my 600w hps the girls can't take half of the cob light as hps so think my light is already over kill. Should come good when I switch to photoperiod strains though

    Difference between 1400mA and 2100mA drivers?

    From my limited knowledge I'd say the 2100 will have a lower voltage capabilities that's it!

    Options with what I have

    Well. I just removed them, to get the same 25000lux at the top of my tallest plant I'd need the light about 8 inches lower by the looks of things. So may well be worth putting them back on but would they absorb any light as they are effectively pointing light straight down as they are straight...
