Help On Driver

[Iceman2494]

I ordered 4 qb132 boards . Need help on a driver to push to the max. Going to run in series .

What kind of help do you need?

 

[Iceman2494]

What driver should I get to hook up the 4 qb 132 boards in a series?

 

[crimsonecho]

Each board is 36v as i see 36 X 4 = 144v
The max current rating seems like 2000ma. But the higher you drive, the shorter the life span will be. 1750ma should work better.
So a constant current driver with 144v+ and 1750ma would work in theory.
They suggest “hlg-240h-c1750” on the site. I wouldn’t go any higher.
How big is your area?

 

[Iceman2494]

2x4

 

[crimsonecho]

Its more than enough at 1750ma imo. Get some dimmers too.

Does it not come with a built in dimmer that you can use a screw driver with ? If not I’m not sure how to hook up dimmer . I’m in ball park on how to wire except to wire driver to male plug adapter wiring

 

[Iceman2494]

Meaning I know how to wire in series . When in comes to input plug I was going to use a male plug adapter . I don’t know how to connect a dimmer

Think I can flower 2-3 plants with 4 boards at that current ?

Theoratically you can flower 4 or maybe more if the numbers on the site are correct and honest. It will easily do 2 tho don’t worry.
321 lm/w is the estimated ler.
Basically it will put out 80000lumens if those numbers are correct.
Most importantly umol/j is estimated at 4.86 which seems crazy good to me. If those numbers are correct i should get my hand on these qbs.

4 boards on amazon for 133$ . Just ordered driver . Already have qb 288 v2 . Going to try to use one for flower and one to veg

 

[Iceman2494]

What are you using now ?

 

[crimsonecho]

What are you using now ?

I am at the process of building a cob setup now. A diy led fixture is what i am using at the moment. Qbs are not available to me yet but if i could get them, i would.

 

[Iceman2494]

Already have a 288 qb . They’re beast in plants

 

[JWM2]

Just upgraded to qb288s myself. Quite happy with them.

 

[Mr.jiujitsu]

I run 4 of the 132 off of these

 

[Mr.jiujitsu]

I run 2 plants under 9 boards

 

[Mr.jiujitsu]

Here’s a shot of one board setup and the power supplies.

Obviously I am running two setups with the setup shown

 

[Iceman2494]

Going to use 132s to flower and 288 to veg . I have total of 3 plants but only one is ready to flower
