It sez on site 536 Canada Dollars for 6 boards then shipping customs taxes blah d blah on top of thaat
Remember, they can reduce the value on the shipping invoice...if that helps.Thats not too bad for 6 boards.
$190.00 x 3 for the 480 drivers off digikey
536+570+ whatever duties and shipping.
realistically i can get 1200-1440 watts of these qbs for around $1/watt i think, depending on how much the duties and shipping charges are.
thats what i had in mind when i first posted in this thread.

Yeah, they can reduce it by at least 50%... That helps if you are tariffed based on cost of goods. You might want to add them on wechat to take care if that.
What are usual time frames after ordering, for this stuff getting to your door?

I ordered and received mine in Edmonton 5 days after ordering.
wow thats legit.
What were your shipping costs if you dont mine me asking?
and are we getting hammered on duties?
I paid $90usd shipping I think and customs was $25cad for 2 240 kits. I see the prices have since went up since my order though. I paid $165 per kit plus shipping they are $240 a kit now
Always nice when you buy something early, before the gouging begins hey? lol
Im usually the guy that buys late and pays the premium lol
90 usd for shipping , thats not too bad.
If i can get away with $150-200 cad for shipping and duties, i can put together a 6 board setup running 2 boards per 480 driver for like 1400.00 cad
i think thats a good price and worth making the switch.
I do not buy leds from hansion. I source my own leds, have them sphere tested and then have a board made. There's a reason I don't buy hansions diodes. Please stop spreading false information about my company.
Why do everyone suggest getting drivers from somewhere else?fotop thread.
I used a 3mm alusheet for 250w fotops. And a fair bit higher hanging. I wouldnt recomend 250 w on their own, especially since you want ambient at +80F.Ok another question or two if you don't mind
Can I run these boards up to 240w safely? Will require heatsinking?
I was thinking of running 2 boards per 480 dimmable driver
3 sets of 2 across 4x8 feet foot print
Maxed out at 240 each board I could push 1440 watts?
Is this feasible?
