Qb 132 Help

[Slappyjack]

I've built my own light out of 8 qb132 panels and 2 mean-well LRS 350-36's. The corner boards are attached to one of the power supplies, and they start flashing (blinking 1 second on 1 second off) after several hours of being on. No issue with the other boards. Anyone have a possible explanation?

Figured it out. It was a heat issue.

How did you fix it?

I made some 1" spaces out of aluminium tubing and raised the power supplies up approximately 1". Allowed more airflow between the board and PS. The pic is before the spacers. The PS's are only 1" above the boards in that pic. Now they're 2".

You will like the 4k color for veg. Works great for me. Plan to bump your feed strength with the QB boards if they are from HLG.

Hey noticed the string of Christmas lights in the background, is that your secret weapon? Lol.
Light looks nice.

LOL. My wife thinks the cat needs the lights. If we're BBQing she turns them on so the cat feels like she's part of the festivities.
