Thats what I assumed as well but since assumption is the mother of all fuckups I thought I would askThe two fixtures were made to work together to cover this size and shape of canopy. One would work for 12 sq ft.

4 in series on 1 hlg320@1400ma? I was under the impression you need 100v or more per board in seriesEach fixture has its own driver and the 4 boards are wired in series in this case.
You're right, I misspoke above and just edited that post to say what I intended, thanks for the grammar and clarity check!
We figured it would make the fixtures easier to mount- it did- and more flexible- it does. Much cheaper shipping, too.Thats what I assumed as well but since assumption is the mother of all fuckups I thought I would ask
Will gladly test them.We figured it would make the fixtures easier to mount- it did- and more flexible- it does. Much cheaper shipping, too.
If you look behind the quantum boards you can just see rows of CXB3590 powered light modules. Currently, I'm running 900W of them on the same size and shape trellis panel. It's basically a bit too much!Can these lights compete with the cree 3590 or are they just accent side lighting?
@Stephenj37826 do I have this part right?4 in series on 1 hlg320@1400ma? I was under the impression you need 100v or more per board in series
I think my above answer can be summed up to 'yes' lolI do see the cobs you have for the vert just wondering about these other lights going head to head with cree or no?
New to led been digging around a lot lately. I want to get some asap to replace overhead hps se. Just want to make the right decision and do it right the 1st time.
Thanks for the reply.
I would think they are running at 700ma with 2 boars in parallel then the 2 sets of 2 in series to keep the voltage down but I'm not an electrician so hopefully a pro can chime in haha@Stephenj37826 do I have this part right?
It seems more efficient to use them up top you can run the plants closer to the QB so it maximizes height if the cobs were up top the plants would be shorter so it wouldn't be much of a vertical gardenwhy not mount them on the walls like you did with the cobs? i guess it looks like your trying to light a vertical plant with overhead lights now from the pics?doesnt seem like a fair comparision
I should do that.why not mount them on the walls like you did with the cobs? i guess it looks like your trying to light a vertical plant with overhead lights now from the pics?doesnt seem like a fair comparision
Wait are you doing a side by side? I thought u were just using these with the cobsI should do that.
Yes you should.stand them up tall like the plant.they should be able to be placed much closer than 75w cobs can be placed i would think.I should do that.
Sort of. The equal watt side by side is comingWait are you doing a side by side? I thought u were just using these with the cobs
I run mine at 54W.Yes you should.stand them up tall like the plant.they should be able to be placed much closer than 75w cobs can be placed i would think.

well even if they were ran in the same position the cobs were in they should work great right? i mean its been said these are cob killers right? i just dont see the point of mounting them high above a canopy that has been trained for vert growing.I run mine at 54W.
If I ran them as close as you suggest, there would be no room to work on the plants.
and also this makes me think those qb panels could be mounted on 2 x 4 the same length of the fixture,with some type of swing arm/pivot point.so you can swing them into the plant when your not in there and just kinda push them towards the walls when you need to walk in there and work.could pretty much do it with a sturdy hinge for like a gate.god damn son,i thought you were an engineer lolI run mine at 54W.
