(new neighbor here) I can put in a 'plug' for the QB120s and 132s I've been playing with...
I just found that if your Sativas get too tall on ya, They WILL survive ,and finish out OK,with just an inch or two of clearance to the diodes...
IF I dim them down to half wattage...., and they haven't gotten damaged from the close lights...

Exactly.... the 304 I added to that center panel was a S5 bin and it with the other two still grows like a champ. I would tell anyone ANY OF HLG QBs will be a step up. From the 120s on up.

The 304s are priced to sell and make a great build. I mean with the right heatsink and driver you can run a 304 up to 150 watts per board , run 2 Meanwell 320watt drivers PER set of two and spank the shit out of a lot of lights. Plus be able to run each independent and or together.

As far as longevity.... I have been running daily since dec. 2016. ( 304s )
18/6 ... 12/12 whatever the schedule ...... no probs. I just don’t run max.

Hoping for a UV board .... come on @robincnn and @Stephenj37826

Voltage 110+ vs 54....the qb288 V2 can be ran up to 5 or even 6 in series QB304 is limited to 2 due to the molex connector voltage rating. The V1 288 and 304 utilized Samsung LM561C where as QB288 V2 utilizes LM301B which is currently the most efficient white light led that I know of.

That's already in the works. Similar to the HLG 35 red supplement board. For real UVB that is proven to increase potency look at Sola Cure bulbs.
