Questions About Matching Qb288 With Driver?

[CallmeTex]

Howdy y'all,

I'm here soliciting info about running 4 QB288 with the HLG-600H-54? Just Curious to see if this configuration will work. Curious if the HLG-480H-C2100b would be a better fit?
Looks like the horticulturelightinggroup only has the QB288 in 4000k left. Do you all think this will be good for flowering? I'm going to buy something in the next day or two, so let me know what you think.

Lighting is going to help fill this room that has all cxb 3590 @ 3000 and 3500K

i think the qb288 with the 480-2100 is a better drive current.email hlg and ask them if you can have some 2700k,2 of them and 2 of the 4000k and put all 4 on one frame,will rock it out like that.it says they dont carry the 2700k anymore but robin might have a few laying around.tell em six sent ya :cool:
if i had to get just 1 color for flower i would not use all 4000k,3000k would be better imo.keep in mind those spectrums are much broader than any hid light except maybe cmh lamps so even 4000k will have lots of red in it.

@CallmeTex, hey your rocking those Cobs, but looks like you've got a few different strains and the ones in the back right seem to be progressing faster?

Thanks six, I took your advice and emailed them this morning. No reply yet. Maybe I'll have better luck if I mention you..;)
I like the idea of doing 2 2700k and 2 4000k. Seems like it will work real well. You've got me thinking too. Because my garden has so much 3500k cxbs I may just end up getting 8 more 3590's in 2700k and mixing them into my existing builds. Then I'll have 2700k, 3000k, and 3500k mixed in. That will more than likely be a winter project though as we's way too busy now...

Thanks brother Dan, those in the far back corner are 3-4 weeks ahead of those nearest in the pic. The taller ones are my Moon Dawg strain which has Chemdog D x Snow Lotus x a random Blueberry. She makes really tight frosty buds. This is a pic from the seed run. 5 females, lots of sativa influence.
