Welcome to the forums. Here is a picture that demonstrates how to wire your two boards in parrallel. You will be using two instead of 4 but the same concept applies.

Re: DIY COB Flickering
Are you sure that the pot is 350k ohm? That looks very much like the rapid led 1-10v dimmer. If you are using an actual 350k ohm potentiometer then you will be at max current at around 28%. That means the full range of dimming is limited to the first 1/4 of the turn. Dimming will be clunky at best w...

Re: Help with Troubleshooting Vero 29 Fixture
No problem. One thing that stands out in that configuration is the minimum voltage for the driver. The datasheet Puts it at 114v minimum. I don't have access to all my old spreadsheets at the moment but if I remember correctly they (Vero 29's) operate at around 36v. That would put you below the mini...

Re: Help with Troubleshooting Vero 29 Fixture
You can check the driver by disconnecting it from the series, hook up your multimeter leads to the output leads on your driver. Then plug in your driver into the wall. You should see 234v open current.

Re: HLG QB324 V2 board, driver and wire questions
The ninchia is a totally different animal as they mix cri. 90 cri puts out less lumens but has similar par. It's deceptive but likely just as good at growing. They added some info recently on the 324's which make it easier for folks to do the math for themselves. There are a couple reasons they have...

Re: Help with Troubleshooting Vero 29 Fixture
Yes, you can check voltage with a multimeter. But I'd like to know the specific driver as a constant current driver will likely have 400+ volts and over an amp of current.

Re: Bridgelux strips not working
I'm at a bit of a loss. It's hard to fathom a wago smoking when it will only have positive or negative leads. Are you absolutely sure that the positive leads are connected to only positive terminals? If one we're backward it would split the voltage but I'm not sure that half the voltage would turn o...

Re: Bridgelux strips not working
This is what you should have with double the strips.

Re: Help with Troubleshooting Vero 29 Fixture
What I mean is, If you are using the 480h-36, there is a good chance you are slightly over voltage and would need to dim them slightly

Re: Help with Troubleshooting Vero 29 Fixture
Can you be more specific with the driver? I believe the only one that would get you to the rated watts is the 480h-42 and still supply the necessary voltage.
