Who is the go to LED guy?

[SkunkyDunk]

I have been using HID lighting since to 80's. In my 4 x 7 canopy i use 2400 watts on a mover now.
Been eyeing some LED panels at my local grow store, $1600.00 a panel!
I realize these are tailored towards industrial grows but if I'm going to switch I'm not going to start with the budget stuff, well, because it's never worth it.
I would like to build a system that is compatible to these high end panels, is it possible?
So,, who is the guy here? Where are the threads for DIY legit LED systems?
Thanks in advance.

morning, there are threads on the farm here for quantum boards, they look good. Sol sheets seem also good. just going by what people post about them here. im using 315cmh and 400 watt MH. Its warm in my 4x4

If the DIY thing is not for you, check out growers choice RIO-680. About 1k per unit and on PAR with the gavita and Fluence products. The growers choice have an onboard dimmer switch. I run both the growers choice and gavita. No sure if one is better than the other. Believe LED is the future

I have a bit of experience, what you want to do dude

Wow, I like!
I'm wanting to replace 4 - 600 watt HID's.
How many actual watts does your system draw?

I've posted this in pic before: https://www.thcfarmer.com/profile/891814/

My light draws a bit over 900 watts from the wall, I built it for a 5 x 5 tent. I used 110 volt driverless cobs

I can pull just over 700w real power from the wall, with incredible penetration(like a porn star) I have full build info on another thread and have links to everything. Been runningno issues

The cob set up (600 true watts) that I’ve got for my 4X4 tent, does very well, check Rapid Led if you’re interested. But it’s a bit DIY, nothing complicated though.

Been doing some deep research,
Wearing out my laptop.
This sounds like a decent route to go, the HLG panels are nice.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

So I'm thinking 8 of these will do what I'm trying to do.
QB288 V2 R SPEC QUANTUM BOARDS
And I'll need 2- 4 panel drivers and trying to decide on heat sink material.

im trying to justify buying a 600w ballast and bulbs, even called the hydro store to check price and stock. $208(canadian) for the 600 watt ballast.

Getting good sizing and crystal coat. Mazar I Sharif, about week 5.5 out of 9 .

looking fantastic,

all those Quantum boards look like there is some assembly required. frustrating looking at so many websites. good luck finding something, i gave it a few hours of looking and my eyeballs are worn out
