Which driver ‘drivers would you recommend for 6 QB288 V2 quantum boards?

Well just waiting on the boards to arrive. Still going back and forth on which drivers to go with. I would like to get the extra watts at the board but also will have the driver/drivers mounted outside of the tent with about 5-6 feet of wire...do you think this will cause a issue if I went with the HLG-320H-C2100B? I built a similar light with just two QB288v1 5000k using a 240H-2100B for a veg tent and love having the driver mounted outside of the tent “helps keep things nice and cool plus I can turn it down before I look inside so I’m not blinded.” Also any recommendations on where to get the drivers?

Thanks again for everyone’s input and I will post pictures once I get everything built.

Don't think the 5 or 6 feet will be problematic if you are using nice 18 gauge solid core. I'm going to be mounting the drivers on the slate heatsinks in the standard config, however. I have some fans that will be running active cooling right on the slate and driver.

I grabbed the drivers from RapidLED over the 4th holiday they ran a 15% code and I was ordering some other product from them.

Maybe Arrow would be a good choice, could get free overnight shipping plus they have a 10% code 'SUMMER10'. Looks like they have stock even though the octo listing says zero.

My HLG kits were delivered, should be setting them up this afternoon (friday) with my 2100B's.

Cool let me know how it goes, my boards won’t be here till next week so I still haven’t purchased a driver/ drivers yet. Just working on the frame and trying to tracking down 18gauge solid core wire which I can’t seem to find locally.

Here are my 3 boards running at 2 amps for about 15 minutes. The voltage started at 151.X and then dropped as the boards heated up. The voltage got down into the 149s after running them longer.

Everything went great here.

I'm using the Remington pre-tinned wire from Amazon. Good stuff. Lots of people go with the Shaxon brand but you may want to tin your tips if you can with that or other non tinned stuff.

I went with these sizes because visualizing the future.

I've got one of the RapidLED cased pots hooked up which turn the HLG-320H-C2100B drivers off at bottom out, so here's the setup running a bit above that.

Running at wide open.

And a little install pic among 12 Vero 29 SE type C's 3500K on 6 HLG-185H-C1400B's good for up near 100 watts each themselves. Now I need an apogee for some tuning.

Nice find on the wire! Setup looks great.
