I need some help boys , trying to learn this DIY led stuff and it's not clicking yet.. I'm not understanding how to match up boards to drivers can anyone help please!!! I have an hlg 480 2100 driver and 4 304 quantum boards... will this set up work???? I built a 4 board 304 with a hlg 320 2800 and it works great seems like it's running pretty soft tho... what I am confused about is I have been watchin all of growmau5 video and he says the output of the driver has to be equal or less than the output of all the cobs/ quantum boards .. in this video he used cobs as an example so I will here .. he had a driver with an output of 286v and the cobs all ran at 28.6 volts sooo 10x28.6 that means 7,8,910 cobs will work ..but 11 and. Not one of them will work... so with that bein said my first light i built with the hlg3202800b and 4 of the 304 quantum boards , according to growmau5 video this set up shoul NOT work but it DOES the output of that 320 driver is 57-114v and a single quantum boards output is around 108 v I belive ... so according to growmau5 video I should only be able to run 1 quantum board off this large driver but I'm running 4 perfectly fine !!!!! What am I missing ??????? Someone anyone please educate me!!! Thanks

It has the specs right on the page, lower down; "Actual Power Consumption: 210W±10%". So the answer is no, it won't replace 1000w HPS. Like Cobkits said, maybe 4 or 5 of them.
