4 QB132 / 2 QB288 build questions...

[THC413]

Alright so I made some last minute changes to my build. Instead of the (2)QB 11's and (2) QB 96's I decided to get 4 Fusion Boards from Phantom Photon designs. They have a nice mix of 6500/3500/2700 with 40 660nm diodes as well. They run at 34v @ 2.1a. So now the line up is as fallows:
2 QB 288's (2700k)
4 QB 132's (3500k)
4 Fusion 240's (6500k/3500k/2700k/660nm)

I'm stuck on what to use for drivers again. Thinking of running the fusions and 132's on all on the same driver. But what would I use and how should I wire them? would like to hit 70-75w per board. The 2 288's will be run on a HLG-240h-54, they also have their own slate heatsink that will be in the middle of the fixture. Ill post my new drawing of the fixture tonight after I finish it up. The only other modification I might make is adding 4 growmau5 far red pucks to boost that far red light coverage. Any info or suggestions that you guys have for me would be great!

Paulie109 I'll try to re read your question but if your asking if you can mix color temps on the same driver I believe the answer is yes. I will be doing that with the 132's and fusion boards being on the same driver. Also the fusion boards themselves kind of answer your question because there are 4 different temps on each board. However that might not be what you are asking so disregard that if it was not your question.

thc413, thanks for the info, i have been putting ideas together and looking on amazon i see that they are out of 132 3500k, so do you think a mix of 4 2700k and 4 4000k would do well and keep stretch down a bit, or i have 2 288's 3000k here and i could use those with 4 132's 2700k. i just received 2 2700k 288's from hlg on the sale list and they had advertised the 288's 2700k with slate 1 heatsinks, (bonus) they gave me slate 2's, also ordered the 3 288's 2700k with a slate 2 triple in the sctatch and dent, and the heatsinks are almost perfect just not anadized. have the 4 288's 2700k running from a hlg 600h 54a and at 600 wats from wall the heatsinks are onle 82 degres f right on top.

Can u check out my qb132 thread?

welcome to the forum first off . and YAY quantum board question!!!

yes.. you could run both of the 132's and 288's in series on a single driver... the hlg-320h-c1750 is the perfect match... 36v+36v+52v+52v= 176v the max is 183v on that driver.. ( guesstimate on the 52v since 1400 51v and 2100 is 53v for the 288's ) at 1750ma each 132 is roughly at 60watts.. and each 288 is roughly 90watts. your running the 132's at their recommend ma.. the 288's is just under the 2100ma avg.

since you are thinking parallel( I'm guessing that's what you mean by LG'S 5 way wago) you gotta do dual drivers... 36v and 54v won't play nice wired that way.. hlg-240h-54 for the two 288's and a HLG-120h-36 for the 132's.. both of those would give you the power to almost max them out.. ( the 288's can hit 150w but that's pushing the efficiency down running that hard.)

dimming wise on all 3 drivers would be a A type or a B type. A type have internal dimming knobs built into the driver... two downsides are you got to have access to it to dim the light.. and you can only dim the current to 50%... plus is you can actually over draw on it.. getting slight more power from the driver... on a B type it comes with wire leads you attach a potentiometer to.. 100k ohm liner taper potentiometer is what you need for a single driver.. if you want two B types on same dimmer, you use a 50k ohm liner taper.. only real down side is not being able to over amp like a A type.. or solder on a potentiometer( can suck if you never done it) awesome thing about B type is you can make that lead to where ever you want the dimmer placed.. another plus is you can dim it down below the 50%... should be able to go all the way down to 10% ( normally we put a 10k ohm resistor on the potentiometer.. they say 100k but aren't always 100k, we bump that 10 so minimum becomes 10% over 1% but allows you to definitely hit the 100%)

I got so happy about a QB question I don't known if I answered every question for ya I'm a QB nut if you haven't noticed yet!! I'm waiting on them to drop the new boards here soon!!! so I can add to my 4 288's I got atm..

again welcome and keep the questions coming!!!

What happened?

apologies, sometimes there's so many posts, I forget to check after some spam deleting

if I remember correctly, the phantom boards are also 36v and roughly 2100 - 2800ma max.. very similar to the 132's. I you mix and match 2 132's and 2 fusion's in series, on a hlg-320h-c2100b.. ( you'll need 2 ) and then run the 288's on the 240h-54 or -c2100 ( if you want series across the whole light) the 2100 will push all around that 75-100w..

if you already got the 250h-54, and want to parallel everything.. the hlg-320h-36b would push 4 boards at roughly 2200ma each or a HLG-240h-36 will push them just under 1700ma each ( around 60w each )
