Robincnn posted the data on the hlg site for the QB.
I just did a cost comparison with the citi 1212 vs. QB288. For similar wattage the citi is $40 cheaper but what I came up with the QB288 puts out more par even running with more current. I believe it's over 26% more.
Maybe you should be running them at 24w per board if everyone that wants to run them hard is wrong.
I figured it was well know that paying for more equipment and running soft was more eff. Put 20 QB in that 4x4 since its the best way.
Everyone has different wants/needs so a one size fits all doc probably wouldn't cut it.
You can cover a 4x4 many ways!
There are 2 QB types. There are many driver options and you can use 1 to 40 number of QB in that space.
The 288 are $75 each also and I would get two. Then you need two heatsinks $30?. The driver is about $65 for 230watts or S45 for 151watts. Just under $300 I guess.
2800/4= 700mA
54v x 700mA = 37.8w each
37.8w x 4QB = 151w total
Looks like you aren't using that driver up to its potential. Usi g 363w to get 151w in output.
