Seems you're doing pretty well for having all those 'work related' distractions!

As problems go, that's an easy one to solve.

I have 2 QB 304 and a HLG 320-1400B driver that is dimmable. Would you guys reccomed
Wiring this in parallel or series?

Is there any way to run 3 QB on this driver?

I was thinking in serious to get max watts since I can dim it and not run on full blast. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks -BLG

185 is a bit more efficient and will run cooler as you won't be utilizing the entire driver (longer life from cooler operation) not that it matters meanwells are solid.

I've had two fail on me the hlg185c700s

I have a 1400, how did they fail and how was you useing them? 7 year warranty?

4 cxb 3590s at 50w each. Maybe two years? Just zero output voltage on the dc side

 

[Getgrowingson]

Problem is I can't remember who I bought them from I think it was mouser tbh

 

[Getgrowingson]

Have hit almost three a light two times with three of them so it's paid for itself it's an easy swap as well so if I can get warranty nice if not then not that much lost

damn that's going to be a lot of light lmao.

And I have two qb 600w kits on the way to put beside my diy light to replace the two de thouies that are costing me large in ac and kWh hoping for a direct replacement. We shall see

3 what? What light?

46 zips was my best in the 5x5 area under the cobs. 600w cxb3590 with two de thouies on either side so that has a little help but in winter my best is 38zips because I can't get my room warm enough. It pumps in the summer tho.
Strain was critical kush. 9 three gals in canna coco on drippers dripping twice a light cycle. 15x7 room usually pull 8 lbs a run

Do you think you'd have got the same without the cobs?

Won't be using it at full capacity and will be more efficient this way... not to mention I'm trying to beat my black dog's phytomax2 1000w light's
