You can just take off the driver and fixed it on the other place of your growing room. It's ok. No need to fixed on the PCB board.

Me 2, I was happily surprised and really happy when I found out it had Samsung diodes, didn’t expect any of that when I ordered the 4000

I cant see why not, its just a digital ballast I'd even move it higher or put a heat sink on it too or move it out of the room. If anyone is in the Vancouver area or Fraser Valley and wants to see a SF panel I have them in my shop.
Glad to hear you are satisfied with our product. We use Samsung diodes and Meanwell driver.

spiderfarmer SF2000 a finished lamp, very easy to hanging, but the thermal is not enough, heatsink is too small.
Also, it use just 432pcs leds, and the driver XLG, I am wondering the quality.

Just be aware that Spider Farmer and Mars are Chinese lights that basically copied HLG's designs. HLG created quantum boards. And I guess Spider Farmer and Mars are actually the same company since they have the same address just so you know.
Buy American if you can.

Aren't Samsung Diodes and Meanwell drivers made in China?

Buy what you can afford if Spider Farmer and Mars are first to the affordable LED market so be it. Every supplier to talked to in Canada doesn't care about bringing in cheap LED lighting they just want to push high price $1300+ led so fuck them.

No. Most likely South Korea for the Samsung diodes, and the drivers are another story.

The lights I just ordered come with the ELG 240. Its dimmable and comes with a dimmer switch attached which was important for me.

The ELG range will not be full powered on 120V, needs a 240 circuit or a lot less output.

I'm in Europe so it is 240v.

HLG 240 isn't 0-10v dimmable it's 1-10v only depending on model
XLG and ELG are both 0-10v (dim to off) on the 240 if that's important to you? Using a smart controller to operate the lights 100% works on these 0-10v protocol

I dont really care about dimming to off. The light I have now probably dims to around 10 percent I'm guessing and the lights I just ordered come with the same dimmer so no need for a controller.

I would personally run 3 SP250s or 2 SP3000s over the SF4000 and I have an SF4000, 3 SP250s and HLGs 550 Rspec.
They HLG and SF are very similar IMO but really cover 4x4 decently and the edges start to drop pff quickly. For uniformity multiple SF250s are the way to go but as others have said your looking at a min. Of 600-750watts of true current draw needed and thats going to run your 700-800 bucks or more depending on what route you choose via LED.
