I recently purchased 8 QB 132 and are looking for a way to hang all 8 in a 4x4 tent. i know how to build a frame out of aluminum l channels but I personally would like to hang the boards on a Rapid LED substrate but cannot find anything on the web that instructs how to do so. Therefore, i am asking the community for any help or ideas for making this happen. Also what would be a good driver to connect all 8 as i plan on hooking these up to a bluefish controller to simulate sunrise and sunset. would be willing to use 2 drivers but 1 is preferred. any thoughts, ideas, or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

For a 4x4 you would need 560 watts on average. So that's about 70 watts per board. This would give you the 35 watt per sq ft. You would have to run each board at 2mA to achieve this.

If you want to go series wiring I would go with two hlg-320h-c2100b and maybe keep them dimmed a little at max.

I don't see a single cc driver that will handle the 290+ volts for that amount of power. The connectors on those boards are rated 300v max and that's pretty close to max lol.

For a parallel wiring if all 8 boards with one driver, I would do the hlg-600h-36a or b for dimming. Or two hlg-320h-36a or b for dimming
