Man your picture at 110 watts was as bright as the sun. How is the heat? I really want to get away from HPS.

consider that the this weights maybe a pound, WITH the heatsink! yes, at 110 watts it will need a fan I'd say, or good air movement in the tent/room. Not sure what efficiency is at that wattage I'd guess 45-50% so 50-55 watts of heat. 3 of these together though produce less heat than any light I have, except my 4cob 1825 light, which is pretty close in efficiency when run at 75 watts per cob.
Yes I was floored by how bright it was. It made my livingroom in full daylight look dim when I fired it up...lol!

Holy crap! Is that two boards mounted to a sheet of aluminum? Is the heat sink pad below? Post some pics with plants when that bad boy is fired up. Wow.

You don't mind if I Bogart that cartoon do you?
opt
Thanks for the pic those optics look the same as the ones I ordered I thought they were going to be longer I didn't order enough :/ I guess you need 3 optics per row. One bummer is they seem to be kinda blocking an LED at every joint but it's probably not much loss.
Posting a pic with plants is kinda pointless he just got the light so the plants wouldn't have been grown under it yet

The two fixtures that @Stephenj37826 made for me have 4 quantum boards each, running at 80W apiece. The fixtures themselves pull either 330 or 340W, I'm not quite sure what accounts for the difference since in all respects they should be the same. It's not even a quibble, it just piques my idle curiously, lol
These two fixtures totaling 670W would be very serious competition for a DE fixture running at 1150W.
Proving this is my job and I'm looking forward to it!

You should do a special grow journal with those beasts. I cannot wait to see how it works out.

I'm hoping to have a panel done before flip in a week. 4 compared to 8 3590's in bloom. 3k vs 3500.

ttystikk looking forward to your grow ! I know there are a few of us who are only using one or two QBs but your someone who is on a larger scale. It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on them. I know my two QBs have my fan leaves standing on end !

I've got the space for the fixtures cleared and ready. I'm pretty excited, myself!
