Re: LED Driver Advice (Which out of these two?)

Yeah seems like you'd need more like 20 strips for that driver (the -24A version is what you'd want). At least 14 or 15 I guess if you're aiming for 90% of their 1.6A max.

Re: 2*2in1 QB288 with LM301B and 8pcs Cree XPE660nm

The LM561C with good binning has been the more popular option because of the lower cost, easier availability, and rapid spread of information among users showing proven results to match the spec sheet data. Samsung's H-Series and F-Series of strips being popular options with DIY builders and the LM5...

Re: 2*2in1 QB288 with LM301B and 8pcs Cree XPE660nm

Just an my observation. You are throwing a hell of a lot of stuff 'against the wall' and some of the R&D you are engaging in seems pedestrian for someone in the position of running or representing the company selling the stuff. Just throwing the data and graphs up without you yourself gaining in und...

Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

That pot looks like a 10K ohm rated. You'll want one that's 100K ohms. The way the circuit for the dimming on the drivers works is that when you turn the resistance on the pot all the way up to 100K ohms, you'll be getting 100% output. So 10K ohms will only get you to 10% of the total power. There i...

Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

Thank you so much for the help. Can't tell you how much this has helped. You're really willing to go above and beyond to help a fellow out and I applaud you for that. That being said, I bought 4x Atreum 288.2s with the heatsink combos. I also got a waterproof connector, 2x wagos, solid copper wire ...

Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

Hey. Yeah all this stuff is great kit and will get you there. We could design a combination light with multiple types of emitters mixed in if need be. I think it would mean running multiple drivers. I myself run a lot of the options provided and some in mixed fashion. The Bridgelux EB strips can be ...

Re: 2 qb 120 build questions

I think either HLG-120H-48A in series or HLG-120H-24A in parallel are recommended by the manufacturer for 2 boards.

Either way you shouldn't have any overload issues.

Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

If you want some good flower power, I'd consider the QB288V2 boards. Throw 5 QB288V2 3000K on slate 2 single heatsinks, orient them well, and run an HLG-480H-54(A or B for dimming) variant. You will want to wire them in parallel with WAGO's instead of daisy chain to handle the current. Also consider...
