New QB owner, now about that driver....

[Midnight Warrior]

I just purchased 6 QB 288 with the LM301B diodes, and I am super stoked. I bought this for my 5 x 5, but it might be too much for that tent.

I just need a little help deciding on which drivers to buy. These all will have a heatsink, so should be able to handle optimal voltage for the best lm/w. I would also like to dim them, as I would like to emulate sunrise/sunset on the next grow.

2 x hlg-320h-c2100 would rock a 5x5 tent.

I'd go with one HLG-600H-54B bc I'm lazy n be less to wire and less plugs used.

What better source, than the source? I think I will give those a try as it will give a little over 100 watt a board and a 2.1 current. Thanx

I'd say get as much possible wattage as you can. They dim so there no reason not to. 600w of LM301B is probably enough for a 5X5 but if it were me, with 6 boards, I'd Definitely pull at LEAST 750 from them.

Get the B version if you want automated dimming.
