I have built many QB rigs that cover 4x4s and 5x5s. The average cost is around 500.00 plus or minus. Check out my thread "From DEs to LEDs" it may help with some ideas..

theres loads on alibaba same leds as quantum boards and some will be the same manufacturei see a kit that is listed at growerslights.com which is a kit version of the hlg 550 which uses the hlg 600-54b driver what are your guys thoughts on this over using the driver over the hlg 550 one (hlg 480 - 2100a) im looking into building 2 lights and using the lights over a 4x8 area honestly im am thinking i would be better off with the 480 but the differences in the cost of drivers is less the 100 dollars maybe i would be better off with more power .....

your prob better running 200w ish drivers as there lots cheaper also if you went for vero29 s you would get more light for you money prob 6-8 of them to equal a 1000w hpsmy goal is to save power but dont wanna screw myself as currently im running dual hps bulbs would it make more sense to run 10 boards in 5 fixtures so i can have better efficiency over the 600w driver .... most likely i am gonna run 480w driver but im trying to think about my different options, and no i can't very well switch to a lower powered board as i already have them and i dont see that making alot of sense coming from a 2k setup
yes two boards per lamp using an hlg-240H driver.my goal is to save power but dont wanna screw myself as currently im running dual hps bulbs would it make more sense to run 10 boards in 5 fixtures so i can have better efficiency over the 600w driver .... most likely i am gonna run 480w driver but im trying to think about my different options, and no i can't very well switch to a lower powered board as i already have them and i dont see that making alot of sense coming from a 2k setup
Do you think theres much of an advantage with 312 pcb over 304 pcb if using 4 quantum boards to make hlg clone?I have built many QB rigs that cover 4x4s and 5x5s. The average cost is around 500.00 plus or minus. Check out my thread "From DEs to LEDs" it may help with some ideas..

Waiting on the QB132's with extra red diodes !!!In my opinion, QB132s are the best QBs yet. Better spread, no heatsink needed, and affordable.
That's interesting. Can you measure temp of heatsink right behind a diode ?honestly my hlg 550 gets smoking hot im sure the fins would help quite a bit id imagine i could add a cpu style fans as well which might be necessary if i go for the 600w driver
The 8.000 profile is considerably more effective, with 1 inch fins, but its more than double the cost of the 7.984.7.984 profile heat sink is the type that was suggested by nfhiggs, i like it just would like to hear a few more options if anyone has any input hear
have u built a light using this stuff, would love to see some pictures if u have anyThe 8.000 profile is considerably more effective, with 1 inch fins, but its more than double the cost of the 7.984.
Nothing like that - too expensive for my budget. I've got some of their .601 profile for my Samsung Strips though.have u built a light using this stuff, would love to see some pictures if u have any
