Hello everyone I am a nube but glad I finely pulled the trigger and ordered 4 of the HLG QB288 V2 RSPEC & SLATE 2 SINGLE Combos because of the shape of my grow area (3'x6') I didn't want the HLG 550 V2 RSPEC. I will build a aluminum rack to better space them out to match my closet area. I want to wire all 4 in series and have a remote dimmer. the HLG 550 V2 RSPEC comes with a Inventronics EUD-600 driver but I am a fan of Meanwell drivers . Can someone smarter than me please tell me what Meanwell driver I should order to run all 4 boards in series and have a remote dimmer (potentiometer).
Thank You

no all I can find out is its a Inventronics EUD-600 driver
My suggestion is to use a HLG 600H-54AB and run them in parallel then use an Illumi 0-10V driver to dim them and set time. I think you may need another power supply to the controller as I don't think the mean well HLG range is always powered on with the remote wires, I maybe wrong but have a good read through the data sheet

Thank you for your suggestion. I would like to apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge, but I have a couple of questions.
#1- Why use the HLG 600H-54AB instead of HLG 600H-54B?
#2- I there a simpler way for me to drive my qb288 V2 Rspec boards? (when you suggested to run them in parallel then use an Illumi 0-10V driver to dim them and set time) you were way above my head I barley understand how to hook up the potentiometer for dimming.

Connecting in parallel is usually easier, the other reason I suggest to connect in parallel is if you change your boards at some stage you will be able to match new boards to the driver easier.
AB over B because you can get the best of both worlds with an AB and you can also back off the voltage as a saftey precaution if you want.
You mentioned you wanted a remote control dimmer. The illumi meshtek product can dim to off and also allow you to set time so you won't need an additional timer.

Thank you for the information it was very helpful I went ahead and ordered the HLG-600H-54AB. can't wait for it all to get here, I will post to forum when I get started on my build.
Thanks again

I have my aluminun frame made and all 4 heat sinks mounted. I am ready to wire it up, I have 4- QB288 V2 RSPEC & SLATE 2 SINGLE COMBO from HLG and I have a meanwell HLG-600H-54AB. I am confused about how to wire it to the boards. The meanwell driver has 2 sets of outputs, should I wire it as 2 sets of 2 boards in parallel ?

That'll do the trick, two boards per output. Internally, those two separate outputs are wired together, it's all the same power. It's just that 11amps is a lot of juice for one set of wires, so MeanWell puts two sets.
