@NapalmD You ready melt down your 2x2.5 with Quantum Blaster 390 Watts. Serious radiation May the dimmer have mercy on your plants.
This will be more than enough for your next 3x3 grow too.
Weight 3.6 lbs per bar so 3.6 *2
and 5 lbs for driver and cords
12.2lbs or 5.5x kg
4 Boards
@NapalmD wanted long remote driver cables
Min Power 126W. Max close to 390W at wall.

If you find some cheap 80/20 let me know I have been looking but all the parts are a rip off 5 bucks for tiny screws 8 bucks for corners etc. They are taxing hard or ripping off would be more like it for 80/20 accessories.
I want to do black 80/20 but....
I want to hide my wires for a clean diy install.
I think this is what stops a lot of ppl from diy. It would be nice to be able to buy a empty case like the photon 450.

He is running the same tent I am, I can't imagine 4 boards at that wattage lol. My 2 boards at 100w are just blasting ! Yowza!

wonder if you could drill a hole right past the connector on the board to run the wire up

Limited 4000K and 5000K will be available in 2-3 weeks.
We are designing thinner longer boards. No plans a 3x3 board . will think about it. any reason why a big board like that.

cool! i was thinking make different size board for different grow areas. pair them with a driver so nubes (like myself) could just buy the board and driver combo. then build out the frame we want. Maybe get a 10 foot by 10 foot board with a 60 hp john deer generator so i could make an entire room a grow area.
I was thinking of using Black 1/4 in water line for RO systems to act as a conduit cover for the wires. Also if using 80/20 you could mount the heatsinks to the bottom and on top get a black aluminum plate for the driver and mount all the connections under it hiding the wires clean.

think that might be too much insulation for the wires? They may overheat
Do you have the spectrum graphs for these yet that you could share ? I want 6 for veg to replace 2 T5 panels.

If you look at my light it is very clean with no connectors as I ran the driver outside the tent. The wire is solid and hold shape to bend inside the L channels.

They will blow those T5s out of the water trust me. I wish I could do another QB single for veg but I tapped out my grow budget this year early lol

Will measure them with lighting passport spectrum meter when ready to sell.
For now datasheet only

Currently 3000K 80 CRI is the only one that is available.

The only thing that gets overly warm is the driver. My wires have no heat and the heat sinks are nominal. 100w-125w

my drivers do too. was thinking about hitting them with a small fan. But im not sure if they being warm is an issue or not
