Quantum board 120 potentiometer NOT dimming
Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2018 4:41 pm
Hello all, I've been looking around everywhere for answers but I can not find them.
I have 2 quantum board 120, wired in series with HLG120h-48b, I asked a buddy who works with computers what potentiometer I should use. I was counfused more when I started reading.
I ended up using "100W 100 Ohm Ceramic Wirewound Potentiometer Rotary Resistor Rheosta"
My problem is it is not dimming at all, I know it's not enough ohms, but my second issue is, it it resisting any current the lights seem dimmer than what I've scene on videos of thes.
Thirdly I purchased a 100k ohm 1/2 w potentiometer, do I need to add a resistor or not?
I don't plan on dimming much unless I have seedlings and even then I feel more comfortable just turning dial half way rather than soldering in more components. Thank you very much for any assistance
