Thanks for the reply. I haven't touched the driver settings. So is it at full power to start?. First time wiring one and concerned about doing it safely.

should be at full when you recieved it. have you seen led gardeners videos on youtube?

For sure will cover. I would get the longer heatsink if possible. Better spread for lights.

They dont make a longer heatsink for the 320. Only the 260watt kit. They make it with the option of a longer heatsink.

I can also go the route of 8 citi cluo48 1212 90cri run two power supplies. 4 and 4. On active cooled heatsinks. You think 8 is too many.

I think he confused the 320w you said with a 260 watt 2 board kit cause thats what I was thinking when i saw the post
the width on the 320w kit is 3 feet that would fit a 4x2 nicely I think gives ya 6 inches from the side
you could even go with the 260xl 2 board kit. https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/diy/products/260w-xl-qb-led-kit

I bought the 260 kit first, then bought the larger heat sink and driver to make a 320 2 board kit.

Please don't flame me up, but what do i need to drive this board http://www.flowerpowerbologna.it/epages/99883.sf/it_IT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/99883/Products/6000 at 85w ?

how about emailing them that question in stead of asking here, they are a competitor, so you really shouldn't even post a link here, kinda not cool.

Well, "Quantum Board" is HLG's branding, so in that regard, this would be an HLG thread.

This.

there have been questions about "penetration" recently. Well its a myth. Look at this plant. It was blocked considerably by other plants, it got mostly diffuse, reflected light, yet look at the colas! Before and after moving 2 plants:

Its NOT a QB, its a knockoff. Qauntum Board is HLG's trademark and anyone else using that is a copycat.

The 320 comes with the triple heat sink and 3 boards. It is perfect for a 2x4.

Agree. I have one in my 2.5x4. I will know how well it did in about a week or so.

No worries ... Shoot an email to them about what configuration you are looking to do and more importantly what size of space to light. They seem to list various voltage / current options. BUT ....... ( this is just my 2¢ ) - they do seem to look like those alibaba spec boards they were trying to send me as a sample.

You think 320watt kit would give better coverage and a 2 by 4 10 then say 6 or 8 cobs.

Just saw Amazon paid $0 tax again for this past year in the USA.
I recommend you buy your stuff elsewhere. if you are looking for panels.

"Quantum Board" is a product made by HLG. Any other maker using that name would be infringing on HLG's trademark.
