Are these the individual boards? What kind of coverage from each board? I need to consider two separate 2'x4' flower tents. Three boards for each tent? When wiring multiple boards, how do I match the driver to number of boards? So many questions. Anybody working with Chilled LED products?+1 for quantum boards. HLG QB288 v2 to be exact. Great bang for your buck and the results speak for themselves.

Are you flowering with just the boards in that space? Does it cover effectively? Think third board would be overkill? Height from canopy with the boards? Sorry bout all the Q's.https://growerslights.com/collectio...hting-group-260-watt-xl-quantum-board-led-kit
This is what I’m using in a 2x5 space. You could go with the three board kit or buy this one and add a third to it if needed. The heatsink has a spot in the middle for a third board. You’d just need to get a bigger driver to push all three on one driver.

I bought a nice lab style mid range microscope, trinocular view with hdmi camera. Solid and well worth the money, transaction went off smoothly, shipping thought about $35 but Ok considering everything worked out...So anybody ever deal with Alibaba? I'm seeing all the components I want, but not sure about how to order or inquire. Reliability and what's the deal with bin numbers? Who's got the understanding on those numbers?
Respectfully noted sir. If I was about to build out multiple large fixtures, maybe try the overseas route. For a single fixture or two, I'll probably stick with somewhere here in the states. Trying to be frugal will bite me in the ass.With alibaba you can sometimes make a purchase right on the site or you may need to request a quote. Typically single item orders can be placed right there. Shipping is usually a tad expensive and you’ll be waiting for several weeks to get your items. If you can buy multiple parts from one supplier it can save you on shipping.
eBay can sometimes be a good alternative or amazon if it’s available. You’ll typically pay a little more but may end up getting them much quicker and without having to deal with import duties. Plus you’ll have a bit more protection in the event you don’t get what you paid for.
Also sometimes the quality on alibaba can be sketchy. They are well known for selling knock offs and using pictures of other people’s products to do so.
It really all depends on how much you want to save and how willing you are to roll the dice. Some things are safer than others. Electronics is one area that is notorious for poor quality, fakes and hassles. But not always.
If you were going to purchase a plastic item or a glass pipe you might be just fine.
I’ve had ok results and I’ve bought complete garbage from there. Often times it’s more of a hassle to try and return something than to just throw it away.
Not trying to steer you away from there by any means you just have to consider the risks and hassle when dealing with Chinese based companies. They don’t get paid enough to care about some American half way across the planet.
So, thinking I'm gonna get a 2x4 set up of some Vero cobs from timber. They have a diy kit minus the frame. Best bang for my buck right now. I can fab the frame. My other option is hlg qb xl with identical watts. Just 100.00 more. Any thoughts on the two?
