Any PAR maps of coverage on QB96. Like to see test of light spread.
What you want? im doing them this weekend.

The qbs sol skins and other 4 board fixtures give spreads with PAR numbers varying no more than 5% from middle to the outside edges.So what I don't get is why use Quantum boards at all? Surely the light strips are going to give far better light spread than 4 x QB96s or 4 (or even 6) 288V2, I'm just a dumb fitter so go easy
Any chance you're planning on throwing up a thread here, to report your findings?What you want? im doing them this weekend.
Mate, a lot depends on how you grow. If you're scrogging, and you have the time and patience to keep your canopy a nice even height, then lots of lower-powered LEDs spread over an even distance will be a more efficient use of light.So what I don't get is why use Quantum boards at all?

The B-type drivers with external pots won't provide as much current as the A-types. So you have to decide if remote dimming is worth having less power to the boards.Quite often her in doors has to look after things while I am away for work hence why I like the remote pot idea a lille bit more than her having to try and adjust the internal pot.
Running 3-4 elite boards?Hey frank
Could you do a post on the QB96 with the HLG-600 driver build
If you go that route.
If you go this route its important to be aware of the connectors max amps, as the first boards connectors take the full amp of the whole string.Hi mate, I could be wrong, but it looks like the QB96s come with double wire connectors (wire in, wire out), so you'd probably be able to wire into one and then link it in parallel to the other (positive wire in, positive wire out to the positive terminal on the other QB, then negative back to negative). HLG's website gives driver suggestions for parallel wiring, so we're just going off their recommendation: https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/quantum-boards/products/qb96-v2-quantum-board
Perhaps ask HLG what they suggest, but I don't see a problem with either. The 54 might drive them a little bit harder from what I can see, but I don't know what the exact voltage will be at higher currents as the website just says "54+".
I've never run a pot, so maybe others have a particular recommendation for the HLG "B" drivers.
