I have an old blurple ( vipar ) mothballed for shits and giggles ( seedling starter ) but rely on the QBs to do the job. My neighbor DJs on the side and I said he could borrow it for bar mitzvahs , old fart dances and mood lighting.
Who knew ?

if you're running them around 150w a piece the 4 288s would get you 33.3 w/ft2 which is technically within the "sweet spot" of qbs/strips. As long as the blurple doesnt make your temps spike it wont really hurt much. What is the blurple we're talking about?

Blurple is a "1200w" dimgogo. Using hlg.240.c2100s on the qbs

Rofl, the only reason i wanted to use it was because my blurple has uv and ir leds. That and just more par added to the beastly qbs

Say what you will ... it works . This is supplementing a 3500k rig ( cobs included )
In a new planned rig I will more than likely pulled the trigger on a QB 11 OR QB18.
I don’t need royal blues .

I dont have any personal experience with the dimgogo but took a second and looked it up. It looks like its drawing 223 at the wall and uses the "double chip" 5 watt. Honestly, it will probably heat things up more than it will really help. I personally wouldnt use it..

How early did you introduce your seedlings to the vipar? I got a 600w vipar

When I was between builds , I started seedlings actually under CFL ( less stress )
These are newbies ( current seed pop ) blue dragons / GSG ... but would AT THE TIME put them under the vipar at about 24” or so ....
it veg pretty well for what it was until I was ready to up size into a container or grow bag ( 3 gallon plastic ) .
Then let the quantum’s bring it home. I kept mine mostly for laughs , but it grew some decent bud ( for my own meds ) ... it vegged pretty damn well and the plants loved it.
It’s like your first car ..... sentimental value.
