8 qb120s not 4,I know the wattage won't be equal,by I believe the coverage area and efficiency will be really close,probably not as much penetration but idk for sure until I compare the specs.Well i dont know enough to say that setup will equal an hlg550 or not but if it did wouldnt everyone be doing it instead of buying 550s?
Im not sure how 4 qb120s will equal 4 qb 288s unless your driving them alot harder,Ill follow along and learn.BTW i got my 550s(2)for 1599.00 shipped to my door,about 800 each.
Do a Google for TBONESHUFFLE He is on another forum (or PM me so as not to be rude here)and seems to be a proper expert on the QBs..He sure helped me a bunch before I found the Farm:)8 qb120s not 4,I know the wattage won't be equal,by I believe the coverage area and efficiency will be really close,probably not as much penetration but idk for sure until I compare the specs.
One thing about the 120's is that they are 24v..The newer 132's are 36V, so drivers are easier to locate.8 qb120s not 4,I know the wattage won't be equal,by I believe the coverage area and efficiency will be really close,probably not as much penetration but idk for sure until I compare the specs.
Really? On hlg's website they recommend that driver for 8 boards wires in series. I didn't see anything about using 2,I'll be sure to check though.I think you already know this but you need 2x drivers you picked or a hlg 480w to run all 8.i don't know the math off the top of my head but I'm thinking at 2100ma you are exceeding the voltage of the molex connectors so probably should use 2 x 240w drivers.
Yes I smoke what I grow so sometimes I don't have all the answers and in the wrong order as well lol.that sounds perfect at 192v your well under the 300v rating of the connector.so 1 x hlg-480h-c2100b would be the driver I used.can dim it with a 100k pot or even get the wifi control place sells and dim/on/off/timer from your phone :)24v times 8 boards is 192 forward volts,that driver should work,it's around 50w per board and yeah the no heat sink part is cool but still have to build a frame for the boards but no biggie.
Hey no problem man,i have many moments of my own. Tomorrow I'm gunna compare the lumens per watt and try to figure out the best spacing for my 4x4 so I can figure out the frame.Yes I smoke what I grow so sometimes I don't have all the answers and in the wrong order as well lol.that sounds perfect at 192v your well under the 300v rating of the connector.so 1 x hlg-480h-c2100b would be the driver I used.can dim it with a 100k pot or even get the wifi control place sells and dim/on/off/timer from your phone :)
