@kcir916 Been thinking of moving driver on 260 kit in center for a better balance .not sure. Any thoughts
@Roger A. Shrubber Currently driver on corner as center of heatsink is more hot than corner. Remote driver would be great but makes kit assembly slightly more complex.
With driver on top the kit is around 60C with no air movement. Pretty good for passive cooling

Also thinking of a 260w XL kit. Just longer with boards more spaced out. Should give better spread.

Tested a 90w kit with qb288 and hlg-80h-54a. It was pulling 110 watts at wall.

Does the slate 2 have more cooling power than the slate 3?

Any word on the optics?

A better spread will always be better!!XL!! :hump:

Apparently, i r a smart monkee
the solder paste makes this sooo much easier and faster than trying to use wire. i'd still be about halfway through if i was using the iron instead of the rework gun

Chemdogging coming along fine under the QB, so are the vegging males and the veggies that just came in:

Want to add some reds. What kind would be best for a 4x4 with 6 quantum boards. Osram on pin heat sinks or? Open to suggestions

The three in flower are autos that I had no room for elsewhere... wish the damned greenhouse was up!

Have to install the sinks and fans now and it'll be ready to go,

looks like a bad one top right, need to look at it through the welding goggles to see a damn thing.
put one of my old 32x32 tents back up, going to try flowering one plant under this QB and see how it goes. if its successful, i'll make three more and get rid of my hps.

not bad, 8 cents a piece if you buy 1000

they're 111 lumens per watt, thats why i went with these. they seemed to have the highest output per watt of the ones in the range i wanted

Hi Roger,
were did u find those sexy pink frames or did u make them on a 3D printer?
it looks like a master piece :clap:

Roger A. Shrubber · May 3, 2017

my friend made them, i bought him a roll of pink filament as a joke, then when i told him i needed the frames printed, guess which roll of filament he picked?

Nice job. I like the red. Where did you get the frame?

Have you used a 1000 watt HPS? I am curious to see how your yields might compare going forward.

Roger A. Shrubber · May 4, 2017

had a friend print them.
i've been running a 600 watt hps in my flower tent, thats what i'm comparing against
