Hello guys. I recently bought the above mentioned driver, and I'm looking to purpose it for a small grow tent 60 x 90 x 120 for testing out some seeds.

Any advice on what I could run on this, as I definitely won't be needing the full 600w and it's a 24v driver.

Any advice ?

Cheers guys

I'm guessing your measurements are in cm? If so, about 200w max would give you 35w per square ft. I'll give you some options using strip lights. I would Definately invest in a digital dc amp, volt, and wattage display, so you don't overdrive the strips. Just start the pot off at lowest setting, and dial it up until you reach the desired output. All these will be wired parallel. The closer you drive these to max current, the more beefed up heatsink you will need.

Brudgelux eb gen 1 series
13 2ft strips driven at 700mA (nominal)
9 2ft strips driven at 1000mA
7 2ft strips driven at 1400mA (max)

Bridgelux Vesta series
4 2ft strips driven at 1000mA. (nominal)
2 2ft strips driven at 2000mA (max)

Samsung F series
8 2ft F562b strips driven at 1120ma
6 2ft F562b strips driven at 1400ma

That's all I have on strips. Hope this helps. Hopefully other people chime in with some more options.

Cheers bro. I'm also thinking of selling this on and getting a 240w QB kit. Found 1 that's perfect and in brand new 2nd hand condition on the bay. I just fired the seller a few questions off, so will see what they say.

Be careful on the bay. There is no way to tell if you are getting genuine qbs,
