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.

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

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

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.

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.
