185-1050 will give you about 120 on one board
240-1050 will give you about 125 each on 2 boards in series
185 1400 will give you about 90 watts each on 2 boards in parallel.

Thought you guys would be interested in these lights using similar tech I talked to a rep and they are pricy but look cool with options to add uv strips dude http://smartgrowtechnologies.com/ ridiculous price tho if u ask me

Looks pretty cool but I do not see any prices. I like the idea of UV but do not like web sites without prices.

I asked him a few questions and he said for two it's like 2400 I think he said lol they are Samsung diodes tho and he ignored my question on what brand driver but said there are six 100 watts drivers and something about them being able to run on solar power too
I won't be buying any of those lights but I would like about ten more qb panels tho my first should be here tomorrow

HLG''s genius is in making this tech available at the price point they do.
I think UV lighting belongs on separate circuits so it can be shut down when people are in there working on things. That shit is BAD for you.
You didn't put them on yourself you also don't have the same ones recommended on the site.

True on both counts. Doesn't change how I feel about them in the slightest, lol

Look up the Pure UV T5 on the HTC website. Treat it with serious respect.

A little musing after checking out the RZR 600 and their report. So Smartgrow's RZR 600 uses 510 wall-watts for 49,671 lumens.
So 6 QBs at 75 watts each would be 450 watts at the boards and around 79,500 lumens. A total butt-kicking of the RZR600.
And add to to that, if I read previous posts right, HLG is thinking about making the QB "skinny"...rumored to be somewhere in the 20-something inches wide range with the same number of LEDs...just saying.
So to me it looks like 6 QBs at say 75 watts would be far better and cheaper than the RZR600...just saying.
(I hope we see the QB "skinny"!)

@sixstring2112 do you sell drivers or just have a stockpile for projects?
Ya I was just pointing out that you have a different product and that you didn't mount them so the fact that you like yours has nothing to do with the optics he's looking at buying. No trying to be a dick your lights/grow is dope just don't need to set people up for disappointment I'm sure better optics will be out soon for the diy guys from my experience buying the optics advertised is that they are way more of a pain than they are worth

We will start stocking the optics for you guys. Sorry you ran into that problem...... I'll order a case Monday.
If it's less than $20 I'm down but it's not worth it for optics if it's more than that
