Bridgelux Vesta Thrive/QB96 Elite Build

[Norcorider]

Just placed the order for the following
6x Bridgelux Vesta Thrive 3000k 98cri
BXEB-L1120Z-30S4000-C-C3-ND
1x hlg320
HLG-320H-42B
1x 100k potentiometer
Existing parts
2x QB96 Elite Gen 2 w/heatsinks
1x HLG-320h-54a

The plan is going to have the 2 qb96s centred in the fixture, with 3 strips on each side. . I’m going to create a jig initially so I can adjust the strips, get par measurements for ultimate uniformity, then create the finals fixture from there. I’m sure I’ll have to dim the 96’s a bit to get a nice even spread.
I’m a little concerned with the Thrives low l/w, but I was drawn in by the 98cri. With 680ish watts between the two drivers, I think it’ll be sufficient for a 4x4 tent. I’ll have some build photos up in a week or two once everything gets here! Any input on these strips from the crowd?

Am interested in what you think of the Thrives! Unfortunately I can't give any input on the build, but I hope you succeed.
