Now I’m considering the (2)- HLG-600h-54a, one for Each pair of 96v2’s.

These are only $40 more than the HLG-480h-54a drivers.

I could just dim them when not using a fan.

Or I could add another 96v2 later for a total of 3 boards per driver at roughly 200w per board ? Is that right ? Thanks for the help, trying to finalize my order.

Hi, I just bought 4 QB288 v2's with a HLG-480H-54B for veg(thank you cobkits!) and 4 QB288 v2 Rspec's(arriving tomorrow) . I'm looking for some advice as to what driver to buy for the rspec's. would it be best to get a single 600w driver or 2 smaller drivers? I also grabbed slate 2 heatsinks so cooling is covered. any advice for a noob is much appreciated.

Whoa I have NEVER seen someone put a female outlet on the output DC side and use a LAMP cord to plug into it to run as your Pos and Neg. I guess there's no reason it wouldnt work though. Gives you an easy and quick disconnect if you need it huh?

Very easy to take down and store in a box without disconnecting everything etc just unplug the lamp chords and wrap em up.

Also those if you using the qb96 wanted to turn you guys onto these. I’m not a light tech so I can’t say how much they give a little benefit but I’m sure they give enough benefits to be worth 12 bucks a piece. Easy to install. I like mine. Little reflector hood things for qb96

QB96 ELITE V2 ENGINE REFLECTOR

QB96 ELITE V2 ENGINE REFLECTOR increases intensity to plant canopies by directing lateral photons downward. This increases the amount of light to the plant canopy which results in higher yields.

Tbone said this qb96 combo with that driver will get max watts off the 96s and easy to setup.
2x qb96
1 HLG 320h-54a

edit disregard the max watts part. Bad information that I must’ve incorrectly interpreted my mistake.

If you connect them in series you would be running them at about 2400ma each. That would give you a 2.4 μmoles/joule efficiency. You could buy a bigger driver and lose some efficiency or a smaller one and gain some. What space so you plan to cover with them ?
