@Stephenj37826 can comment on slate 5 availability.
We do not sell heatsinks for customers who do not buy original QB288/QB304 from HLG.
You can email HLG if you need heatsinks for your QB. If you are buying only heatsinks then you need to have boards ordered in past on HLG website . For Amazon board purchases include amazon order/date in email.
All these are available. May take a few days to ship

I'd love to see a chart on the HLG web site that has all of the available boards and metrics like chip used, Vf, Kelvin available, etc

Here is the V1 prototype of Horticulture Lighting Group Elite Board on our SSTX heatsink. Our current QB 288 boards offer a superior performance and at a lower price.

please don't quote me and ask what LED is in there

but it still begs the question.....
should I enhance 3000k Samsung chips with 660 monos or should I mix with newer cri 95 chips like the nichia 757 optisolis or others that focus on the a wide fat band around 660 nm?
we already see Samsung 90 cri 3030 chips are over boosting royal blues to balance the shift in the yellow red peak to achieve the higher cri and lumen numbers The extra royal blue beyond 20% is NOT beneficial to production of flowering plants.

A few years from now, light panels like those will replace the reflective covering on grow tents.
I'm going to guess 5050 lumiled

Im a +1 on this idea, posted it a while back in god knows which thread. Seeing the spectrum on low K optisolis is pretty much MaCree copied. White phosphor led with a red peak in 660nm with a long fat far red tail all the way into infra red. Blue peak in 440 nm, samsungs are 450, right? Making the blue peak wider makes intuitive sense but im no expert.
Lum/w is shit on this chip but ppf/w should be on point. But not widely available and pricey.
White blurple, anyone?

Thats great news. Is there anywhere we could find a list of EU distributors?
TGL only really sells the kits, no boards.

What board? Do you have a poteniometer for dimming? Your not that low so it could be a faulty pot as sometimes they don't go to 0 ohms. And a pair of QB 288 won't pull 320 watts from that driver based on forward voltage
Hey @HeadbandKushMan I'm about to do a 4'x4' tent build with 9 (3x3 frame, a bit more spaced out than yours) QB132s but the one thing I'm not sure how to do yet is the frame. Can you tell me what materials you're using for the frame? Is it "angle aluminum"? Can I drill the holes with a regular drill or did you need a drill press? What you've got there is beautifully put together.
I was originally considering using PVC because it's easy, but I'd much rather use aluminum if I can learn how to work with it.

You can drill through aluminum with a regular drill and bits, it's a soft metal. Mark your drill spot with an awl first.
A drill press will just help making more accurate and straight holes...and probably speed things up.
Check out the square aluminum along with the angles. Both will work but the look of the square bars is really nice. And you can hide the wires inside if that's not too tedious for you.
Great tips, thanks!
