Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

Since I already have the B version on the way, I'll just add the potentiometer. I have a soldering gun so I should be good. Will any potentiometer online work, such as this one? https://www.amazon.com/Uxcell-a15050500ux0776-Rotary-Potentiometer-Diameter/dp/B0111U39T6/ref=lp_306810011_1_7?s=industria...

Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

The strips I bought are BXEB-L0280Z-50E1000-C-A3, so 288mm I believe. Oh, that's interesting. The seeds I have now are mostly GSC or GSC crossed with Golden Strawberry, and I have some Cherry Slime I wanted to give a go. I'm not so familiar with potentiometers and ohm linear pots but i'll do some re...

Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

What am i flowering as far as plants, or are you asking about the space i'm flowering in? 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 ru...

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 1...

Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

Also, Would using a combination of Atreum 288.2s and strips work for the amount of space I'm trying to fill? That could also be an option. 4x288s would put me at $300 before shipping, which is do-able, but if I could power 2 of them and a combination of LEDS and get the same results with less electr...

Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

Wow those bridgelux strips are really affordable! The samsung ones I was looking at were close to $30 a piece. If I went this route I could easily pick up like 40 strips as opposed to 10. If you want some good flower power, I'd consider the QB288V2 boards. Throw 5 QB288V2 3000K on slate 2 single hea...

Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

Hi and thanks for the response. I love your ideas so far, except I want to keep the setup at or under 400 watts. That being said. Would you suggest the led strip route or 4x288s? I love those boards. I've actually done a bit of research on them already, I just heard that if i did strips i could save...

Re: LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

By the way, I was leaning towards 132s but they are currently sold out everywhere so those are no longer an option for me. Are there other boards out there, maybe from a competitor, that are similar to the 132s? The 120s would only be good from vegging from the info I've gathered.

LED strips vs Quantum Boards for 4x4

Hi, everyone! I'm moving from a 2x2 to a 4x4, and I'm moving on from my Spectrum King 140W to a DIY LED build. I definitely need some help and figured these forums would be a great stop for advise / help. I've watched most of Growmau5s videos and I'm definitely set on building my own frame and light...
