That’s what I currently use and no complaints as of now.Looking for light for 3x3ish space
I want to upgrade from giixer1000(100w+/-)
I was looking at spider farmer1000
Any info would be appreciated
Thanks I was just being lazy. But I now have lots of time to kill.All the info you need is right here on The farm ! There’s so many light threads floating around here you would think it’s a virus. Lol anyhow you can find all dyi stuff here. Just don’t let others personal feeling influence your needs.
You can get hlg boards on Amazon 4x at $130 I believe. And a driver to push them for $40-50. I don't know about right now with everything going on though.
I run 8 to cover half a 4x6 room. Easy to do with some basic electric knowledge. Or you tube. Lol
I run 2 drivers, they are different for now til I order 2nd. I have the QB 132's so no need for a heat sink, they don't get over 80-85F. As long as there is good fan in the room. I also ran long cords and put drivers on exterior of room.what heatsink and driver do u use ??
No, not for the QB132. Even says on HLG website, up to 75watts no sink needed.Don’t they need a heatsink for 70 watts +
??
The QB 288 or higher need heat sinksDon’t they need a heatsink for 70 watts +

No, not for the QB132. Even says on HLG website, up to 75watts no sink needed.
But the idea with QB's are to have more boards at an equal spread. This is to eliminate any low PAR areas and to create an even overlap.
Running the boards at or near max is not using them efficiently. Having more boards with a complete even canopy cover, only running at 60-75% power. Is more efficient than running less boards at a higher wattage. But then we get into photon densities and it goes on and on.
Also much less wear and heat stress on equipment for longevity.

The QB 132 max at 75w per board, that is why no heat sink needed. They just have a thick back plate. I just have an oversized driver that I run turned down.70 and 75 are too far apart
If u push them to 350, whet do u plan to cool them?
