I don't have a par meter, but I could look at placing for even coverage with a lux meter. About how high above the plants would you have the light?

I'm not sure probably like 18 inches.

That's not too bad either. the 32USD for 4 boards does not include heatsink costs does it? That seems like quite a fair deal

ya thats with heatsinks.

not sure if anyone has done this here before. but I decided to rivet all my aluminum together. makes for a fast and easy assembly and a clean look.

without the sinks and driver it might be quite a lot cheaper

I'm not sure it is. I think it's a size thing. she quoted me the same amount on shipping for 3 naked boards. it appears any package that size under 20kg is $108USD shipping. over 20kg is $196USD

for 2 of the 800 boards with heatsinks from meijiu its $331.61 USD shipped to canada

I'm also in Canada. just about finished my veg light build. once you factor in aluminum and thermal tape and what not. it's not so cheap anymore. so I think what I'm going to do for my 4x4 flower light is 4 atreum 288.2 boards as they come with the heatsink and then get a driver from digikey. shippi...

In a 2x4 tent how spaced apart would you place two 4 footers? would it be best to have them evenly spaced with the walls and each other?

That's awesome.
nice touch with the meters, I'm thinking of doing that as well.
