what's the 'stock' wattage of a QB 135W kit/ Meanwell HLG 120H-54A driver...?

I just put together an HLG 135w quantum board kit and have a quick question....upon trying to adjust my drivers voltage/current i noticed the "screws" for the potentiometers are a little stripped/I don't have the right size screwdriver....(wtf plastic screws?) anyway .. Are the drivers set to the lowest setting from factory or am I getting the rated 124-135W as is...?

No idea dude, but I would get a refund on your driver or at least make sure your screwdriver is the right size...

The dimming knob definitely shouldnt be stripped

Damn, yeah I'm pretty sure it's the right size..I used a size '0' phillips head...as a matter of fact I tried using a bunch of different sizes after the small one wasnt working..not once did i feel a grip...where is a watt meter when you need it!!!

The potentiometers can be turned almost without resistance. Turn it both poti's clockwise until you feel it can not go any further. This way you get the most out of it. The poti has a simple cross-slot plasic screw, by the way. Something like should work well for you cause it works great for me!

They are set at what the datasheet says. 54v and current 2.3a. About 132w at the wall how its set.

But the A types go past what the datasheet says. This one gos to 2.714a when you turn the current pot up so you will be pushing 155w at the wall.

Its not really a phillips screw. A #0 phillips tip will not fit in it. You need to use a small flat tip like the one Random posted above.
