The WaVy Board 240 looks awesome and I was hoping to use 2 of them in my next build.

I've been trying to talk him into sending me a couple to test but no luck yet.

Some of the other guys on here are considering trying them as well.

Bummer. I'd love to see a write up and some real-world testing. Either way, they are going to fit perfectly in my SpaceTote :mrgreen:

I've been having my eye on them lately.. to add with my QB's. that 36v is nice because I could add 5 of them on a HLG 480.. then I would have better pattern instead of a blank spot in the middle.
I was planning 4 QB's with 4 enhanced spectrum QB's when they came out. but that middle with only two boards over 3..(tick tac toe pattern with out the center spot). I like both the wavys and the fusions.. maybe 4 fusions and one wavy in the center would be sweet.. those wavys not much different than the 3500k QB's I got now.. I kind of like that set up idea on duel HLG 480's.

Nice! How big of a tote are you using? I built one using 2x CXB3590s but a board would be waaaay better.

That'd look pretty damn cool! I really like the colour of those Wavy Boards. I don't even give a shit of my plants like it - my eyes like it!

I have been trying to contact him through his website but so far, after 2 e-mails, I have not got a response. So I don't know what kind of service he would have. I have heard on Instagram that he can be slow in responding. But HLG was slow too. So what can ya do? Nothing but wait. :( These boards are in high demand right now. All of the boards that I want are out-of-stock anyway. :(

Not 100% sure yet.. I'm still using my SpaceBuckets due to lack of funding... and an angry wife LOL But I'm thinking 2 of them would be prefect in a 27g setup. I'm not sure of the exact dimensions of the board.. I know its 240mm wide? Either way, which ever tote allows full coverage with 2!
