    I'm running 4 Diablos in a 4x4 tent, no enhanced CO2 and I'm getting about 1100 PPFD @ 400 watts! I consider this the perfect low power LED light. My drivers are a pair of HLG240H-C2100b, each run at 200 watts ( from the wall ). In my current SOG grow, I've kept the light 32" above the plants...

    Ill be sticking with these Diablos, I spent a ton of me on these ( well, it was a lot for me.. ). I'm getting more than twice to light at the same power consumption. Plus the built in deep red. The 304s were and are still, a great board. And.....lol I have new spares! May ebay them and spend...

    Good to see you back! My old QB 304s are coming down soon. Being replaced with Diablos. I have a Diablo based light in my other 4x4 tent also. will probably send 2 of the 304s to my small tent. Might donate the other two 304s to a friend who needs to grow.

    Your mistaken about the Meanwell drivers, depending what series you are talking about, I just checked the sepc sheet for the HLG320H-C series and they are PWM also. I think all the drivers in this series are capable, and the housing is shielded.

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    Actually, I believe I read that PMW of the DC output is actually beneficial to the LED as it allows the m to run cooler vs constant current, and increases efficiency. PMW was applied to solar charge controllers in the late 90's as it greatly increased the efficiency of these devices. Guess I'll...

    Two things to keep in mind when your comparing other drivers to Meanwell drivers, Warranty and efficiency. Meanwell offers a 7 year warranty, that alone makes the price worthwhile. I've looked at other drivers and most are not as efficient. Don't know about warranties but I'd bet none offer 7 years.

    I was talking about the hlg-240h-c1750b. Yes you could drive the QB96 harder but I see no need to.

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    They are a great light especially if you have the headroom for them. For me that 3 04 4 inches of extra clearance a QB gives me is important at time. I also like the concept of more point sources and running at lower power. Its why I went to the Diablo Board. Running 4 of them at 100 watts per...

    it should work fine. And actual Fv for the QB 132 is 35V or close to it and the driver has a little headroom on the voltage.

    I grow several types of peppers in my raised beds, and I've had them all do this, especially my Jalepenos. Some do and some don't, so I do think it's spectrum.
