i see a kit that is listed at growerslights.com which is a kit version of the hlg 550 which uses the hlg 600-54b driver what are your guys thoughts on this over using the driver over the hlg 550 one (hlg 480 - 2100a) im looking into building 2 lights and using the lights over a 4x8 area honestly im am thinking i would be better off with the 480 but the differences in the cost of drivers is less the 100 dollars maybe i would be better off with more power .....
currently i have bought 8 qb 288 boards in hopes of building 2 clone lights
looking for input on :
1) 480w vs 600w drivers, efficiency is my overall goal but im also replacing 2 1k hps setups
it seems the kit light puts out about 25% more light but there must be a reason that isnt used in the production 550 light
2)possible heatsink ideas
3) im also thinking about breaking the boards up into 4 or 5 2 board lights would use 240w driver obviously but ive heard this might be my best route but it seems the 240w driver is the least efficient (93.5) where the 480 (95) and lastly the 600 (96)
