Its interesting to see both my plants in flower take the retangle shape of the light foot print. I'll get pictures up soon. This is going to be an excellent setup for scrog growing, which I intend to do. Also from what I'm seeing one or two plants would fill my 2×2.5. The way these lights spread and penetrate are amazing to me. Trust me when I say that they are more than just supplemental side lighting.

Sorry if I am asking again but what did you use before to make the comparison?

Stephen/Robin - I am not sure if I should email to web site or PM.

I may be ordering some stuff along with a friend who has his own thing going.

1. If someone does DIY with the board and the pads, coming back into stock, will you be selling drivers/ballasts or do you recommend someone?
2. Will you be adding the big 4 board rig and reflector to the web site soon for ordering?

Thanks.

so now it says max is 1400ma when i am pretty sure it said 1600ma before.

ok sorry so whats the max Ma and voltage for these boards hoping right now that i am not pushing it too hard

edit and when you mean the A version give more power as in milla amps

i guess it would have to be wouldnt it ?

well my board did run 110.1V @ 700ma so wondering what the upper end of voltage they need.
here's what i am thinking that my board is a voltage hog so it run more V cause at 130v *1.400ma gives me 182 watt and with driver loss.
silly ? how do i work out it's lumen per/watt now.

I have all that info no where is there a max voltage for the board. but thanks

edit i can work out a guesstamtion was wondering what some of the higher voltage board draws around. cause 112v is a low one. My board is that voltage at 700ma

and like i said it only goes to 1400ma thanks thats why i said guess to mate the higher v by working the watts backward lol thanks all

thats my point its not its sucking 200 watts but its test voltage was really high compared to there test board. my board was 110.1@700ma so pretty sure she just loves more V lol

What driver?
If driver is generous current might be higher than you think

oh hell ya way better then any hps figure at least still in the 140 l/per watt range.
driver is the hlg-185h-1400A and board was voltage hungery at 110.1@700ma lol but what ever just mean more lumen to par for my plants lol.

would still love to know what the higher voltages are for these boards for my own 2cents

Thanks all for any and all help or guesses
