@nfhiggs do those open faced drivers like that, dim with potentiometer?

They have a small built-in voltage adjustment right next to the power light.

I mean I only plan on doing 1-2 photo plants in the 4x2 with a scrog. That's going to be my main build for the 4x2 tent.I will use my 2x2x4 tent for veg plants and an auto here or there for quick bud if needed.My first grow I started off with 4x of the same plant and topped/lst/etc in different ways to see the differences in a 2x2x4.Each plant yielded nearly an oz, around 24-30 grams per plant. And that was with a shitty 300w viparspectra! So I'm expecting good things from this samsung strip light I'm buying and a 4x2. Would like to get around a half p per harvest if not more!

Actually his family is supposedly taking over his business so I’m guessing in the future his website will probably still be selling lights. Just not built from Higgs himself of course. :/

The eight Samsung F-strip build is the same amount of diodes in two of the QB 288 boards and uses the same diode as was used in the V1 Quantum boards, Samsung's LM561C. The QB 288 V2 Quantum boards use the new Samsung LM301B diode which is a little bit more efficient - about 5% or so. The QB324 OTOH, used a Nichia diode (don't recall exactly which one) which was supposed to be a little more efficient than the QB288/304 V1 boards.

For a 4x2, the Samsung strip build is a perfect fit, and while the QB setups are a little bit more electrically efficient, they really don't fit a 4x2, you would need two of them to fill that space properly. So really its a matter of whether you want to spend twice as much money to get 10% more photons per watt.
