Re: Beginner looking for Help with 4x4 QB Led Setup/Checklist

I recommend genuine QBs made by HLG. I would steer clear of the cheap copies.

Re: Solid for 4x4?

I have four of the ChilLed logic pucks in the corners of my flower tent. I’m very happy with them. Love the mix of 3000k, 4000k, and deep red.

Re: Considering options for a 3x4 light build

I cobbled it together from pieces of a damaged 4x8. I have a big sewing machine. I do like the 4x3 footprint.

Re: Samsung strip build (mainly flowering).

I’m not knowledgeable enough to be much help with your build, but I’m curious why you’ve chosen the LT-F564B over the LT-F562B. (The 564 has two rows of LED’s while the 562 has a single row)
Is it to save cost on heatsinks?
Not being critical, just trying to learn.

Re: Considering options for a 3x4 light build

For me, I think adding reds when I can better afford it is a good idea, the reds are often on their own drivers anyway, so that they can run different lengths of time. There are some nice premade red supplements as well, both hlg and rapidled have plug and play options. But the ChilLed logic pucks s...

Re: Considering options for a 3x4 light build

Well, that depends on the strips. The ChilLed logic pucks have deep reds and a mix of 3000k and 4000k LM301B. The photo boost strips from plc have 660nm reds also, but the cost per watt is higher than the ChilLed pucks.

Considering options for a 3x4 light build

Hi. It’s my first post here. I’ve been lurking for about a month, reading a lot about diy led. I planted a few seeds about a month ago. I have them in a 2x2 cabinet with a single qb288v2 4000k (my first LED’s!), the plants love it. I have a 3x4x7 tent (35”x51”x81” actually) that I’ll be flowering in...
