Someone mentioned these in a thread I cannot find and I was just wondering if anyone here is using them. They seem well priced.

Hey guys.
I built a 4 panel rig using these boards. So far I've only tested it to make sure it functions. Glad to see I didn't buy some junk QBs.
Here's my finished setup. The power cord in pic #2 was for testing purposes, I've replaced it with a nicer cord and waterproof connector.

Seems like a legitimate and cost effective alternative to the over priced HLG stuff. About time there was some quality competition.

I would love to see a grow with some of these before pulling the trigger, but they look the goods I’m sure they will perform just like hlg, new veg light here I come

Agreed.
I don't think the output on mine will be the same as the HLG QB600 due to the driver, but my build was around $460-$470 compared to $700 for the QB600 kit. Should be plenty of light for my needs.

What sized space do you have? 4x4?

I'm just dipping my toes into indoor growing, so I'm starting small with a 2x2x4 tent. I built the light frame to fit that dimension, but wanted enough light to be able to cover a 4x4 and then only have to rebuild the frame, if that makes sense. I don't imagine I'll be cranking the pot all the way in a 2x2.

Was going to mention that Atreum is also an ebay seller. It's the same as the website prices just free shipping and also they except "make and offer".
I just purchased 4x 288 v2 w/heatsinks to build a light for a buddy. I made an offer for $70 each and they excepted. Found a HLG 480-54A for $125 shipped. 18g wire, aluminum flat stock and L channel was less than $20. So roughly $425 for something similar to a HLG 550 v2, that's pretty damn good.

I offered $75 when I bought mine...then kicked myself for not going lower.

Well after building that light i'm back for more. 2 more on the way. Board and heatsink for 69.99 each free shipping. HLG is nice and I own 1 of their products but for the price you just can't beat Atreum's 288 v2 boards.I offered $75 when I bought mine...then kicked myself for not going lower.
Now they need board with added red !

Mike from Atreum told me they are actively in the works testing different spectral additions

They are extremely legit.
Did you read this thread? Links to third party testing have been linked multiple times.

I haven't seen any results of plants grown with these lights as of yet in this thread.
