HLG started selling new QB144 V2 mini boards. They are sold 4 for $125 and I'm thinking they would be perfect in the corners of the tent to help even out the light spread. They do not sell these with heat sinks however.

It looks like these are the same size board as the QB96's. I'm wondering where to find heat sink options for these boards. The new QB144 V2s state that they require heat sinks but they do not sell them together. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks!

Ya renxin is great.
@TEKNIK there's no reason to not save money on heatsinks. Buying 15 from anyone in US would cost a fortune at $20/ec. But you can get them from China for damn near $2-4 a piece and they're identical to any ones sold here.

If you really want to support a smallish company, HeatsinkUSA is in Michigan, USA....All types of extruded aluminum heatsinks in dozens of different profiles, sold by the inch...
Shipping can make them expensive I suppose, since Im in MI it works out well.

I hate those alibaba copy cunts and I don't hide it because they are cunts. Buy locally where possible and support the people that actually innovate to create new products. The more money you give those alibaba dirty fucks the less that goes towards making new and better products for everyone

Thanks guys. Just ordered 8 of these QB144 boards. They should be perfect for the corners at 50-60 watts each.

My corners are weak at the moment. Even with two HPS and 2 HLG 324V2's. Take a peek:

Adding in 4 cobs in the corners will definitely help, it should fix the issue. The other option is to just use the normal quantum boards to save on purchasing a heatsink. Pricing is similar any way.
