    Multimeter Suggestions and How Do I Measure?

    Cant thank you enough for this detail and the pics as well...nice build btw! Question on the wires was due to the fact I plan to mount my driver outside the room to help with heat which doesnt look like you needed to worry about. AWG concern request was about concern of having wire from driver...

    Multimeter Suggestions and How Do I Measure?

    Gotcha, thanks for reply and yea with driver in hand does make sense now :) Do you think this would be a good option? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013PKYAV6/ref=psdc_14244481_t3_B014W3D1OC Also did you remote mount your drivers? If so, mind me asking how long the additional wire was, what AWG...

    Mounting Driver outside of room for LEDs?

    Thanks for reply, just to make sure I am following: So can you confirm the series is (from input to output) Wall plug -to- waterproof connector -to- Driver -to- Meter -to- LED Wago ? When you say "Driver to lights is a section of mains extension cord" not sure what a "mains extension chord"...

    Mounting Driver outside of room for LEDs?

    Thanks Randy, though confused about this "Grounding the heatsink is fine even remote mounted.", does that mean you did do something special to ground them or that they are fine just being mounted and dont need a ground? How long is the wire you used from driver to LED board and what AWG did you...

    Mounting Driver outside of room for LEDs?

    Hey guys, so decided to try the Kingbrite equivalent of the HLG 320W XL QB V2 R SPEC LED KIT. Figured I would give it a shot and have something to report back to the group on. Only question I have left is the option of installing the driver in a different location. On all these kits it looks...

    Comparing 2 Quantum boards, which way should I go?

    Thanks guys, appreciate the input. May get a mix of both and give it a shot. I know I wont be getting HLG, but for my own personal stash I imagine they will be sufficient.

    Comparing 2 Quantum boards, which way should I go?

    Looking to get my first set of quantum boards, actually first LEDs for a longtime traditional HPS grower. Gonna go Chinese (kingbrite) for budget purposes and trying to decide between these 2 boards. Both are 3000K, : QB288 LM301B with Epistar 660nm - So 36 of the 288 (12.5%) LEDs on each...
