Question about HLG 240 48 driver.

[Mikata]

Hello guys. Can i run 4 Kingbrite Qb288 V2 or V3 on HLG 220 48 constant voltage driver? Kingbrite has no data sheets available. Will i able to dim the 4 boards down to about 50% or below for early plant life stage and turn it at maximum. The driver is 48v DC voltage and the quantumboard might require 48 or higher voltage. The HLG data sheet voltage adjust range is 44.8 to 51.2.

I had a look at Kingbrite website and it seems they use hlg xxx 48 drivers SO it should be ok for wiring in Parallel.
Do you mean Hlg 240h 48A driver? I get ~ 270 wall watts from my hlg 240h 48A drivers.
The 48A drivers have built in dimming on the driver.
The driver has 5 Amps, so that's around 1.25 amps per board.

Each BD is approx 140w at a 49vdc

So 4 bds max at 560w

I'd get a bigger driver and the 54 not 48

Thank you so much Moflow. I noticed that most of their kits use 48 drivers. Thanks for the clue man. It will be my first setup. Im planning on running them with 2 boards first and put another 2 soon if i expand. Will 4qb288 on 240W driver be enough for a small 3-4 plant grow? I live in asia, havnt tried foreign strains. this setup is intended for trying dffrnt strains. Thanks man

Thanks for the advice man. Maybe ill go for the 48 coz mostly of the kb kits uses it. Thanks

Your limiting your output if you get a low watt driver

2 bds max on the driver yer talking about

Either get a bigger driver, or two of those for 4-288bds

What size area are you looking to cover?
240W driver will suit up to 3ft x 3ft - 900mm x 900mm area or 2ft x 4ft - 600mm x 1200mm area.
2 x 240W drivers for a 4ft x 4ft - 1200mm x 1200mm area.

Thanks. Maybe ill go with the 2x4 and grow multiple strain sog style and eleminate some once tasted and select the best 2 or 3 strains for perpetual grow cycle. Any strains you highly recommend to try?

Hi bob. What driver are you using? May i know how many plants you grow in your 2x4 and whats your total yield in dry weight

 

[BobThe420Builder]

Yes and no...lol

240h-2100b

It's my veg tent so harvested 0 out of it..
My flower tent is a 4x4 it has QB 132bds in it, about 450-500w

 

[Mikata]

Any strain to recommend?
