If you want to use cheap chinese crap, thats your business, but itsd already been shown that the chips used on these cheap board are NOT Samsung and don't perform nearly as well. Stop posting this crap here, this is not a general thread, this is HLG's thread. We're getting tired of impolite pricks like you trying to sell people in this thread on the junk you bought, well, we don't want SHITTY Chinese junk, that's why we all use HLG, quality, and customer service that you can't get anywhere else. If your too cheap to pay for good lights, that's your problem

Look good to me on the price and I’m using the 312 boards from them right now. Considering these are Samsung chips that are not made in the USA , I’m ok buying them cheaper. Considering hlg only stocks the flagship model for a ridiculously expensive price, makes sense for them not to sell anymore kits lol or smaller lights , ever notice how all the other boards are sold out , but it takes those boards to build their big light? I’m just showing an alternative to expensive companies getting rich by selling a China light, same thing hlg is doing , they don’t make these chips.

How much area would two 260 kits cover?

yes and its full of rude assholes like you. The guys at HLG put a lot of money, work, and time into their product, they've done extensive testing. What you got was a board with some cheap chips slapped on it. Its fine you want to promote the cheap boards, nothing wrong with that, it that thoughtlessly, you come into HLG's thread to do it. Maybe you didn't mean to be a dick, if not, you still need to take it to your own thread if you have any intention of doing the right thing. If not, everyone here will do like they did to the last two ignorant assholes, and block you. Its up to you.

And sorry guys, for feeding the troll, but I am sick of dickwads like this trolling our thread. I'll shut up now and just block him.

I have 4 qb288 and 2 HLG-320H-C2100B drivers. What do I do to get these working properly, and dimmable? It says 3-in-1 dimming but I don't know what that means exactly. I thought they might have built in dimming but it doesn't look that way. There's a one blue and one white wire marked dimming coming out of the drivers.

There are two rubber caps on the driver and the wires for a pot. So you have 3 options to dim. You only need lift the rubbercap and insert a small screwdriver. no need for a potentiometer

As for getting them working try looking at the HLG website, sounds like the same as the 260w kit, there is a video for assembling on there.

Hmm perhaps they are not the B drivers. Post a pic if poss.

If you look at this, there is a pic of what the B driver looks like

Sounds like you need to wire a pot if you want to dim it. You don't need a pot to get the light working at 100% but do if you want to dim. They cost a couple of dollars.

They are definitely HLG-320H-C2100B. Says right on the drivers. I wondered why they do not have the black rubber caps like in the picture on the site, but that picture is the HLG-320H-54A not the drivers I got. I bought these because they were recommended by someone on this site.
