Are there more 260watt kits triple my friend missed out we didnt get an email they were in. Last i heard there was going to be a decent amount coming in this week?They will be back in stock in 2-3 weeks.

Yes I think they will be back in. There was a decent amount lol. @robincnn knows more about qtys coming in and dates.Are there more 260watt kits triple my friend missed out we didnt get an email they were in. Last i heard there was going to be a decent amount coming in this week?
very interested. this is what I need in my 4x2Any interest in seeing a step-by-step write up on how to put this together? All of this can be done with simple hand tools. I think the cost for all of the frame hardware to build two of these was about $50. Probably going to order a couple more heat sinks to play with alternative configurations. What do you think?
Need a little help. I believe the answer is no but I'm not very driver savy.
I have HLG-240H-1050A, I'm running 2, 304s in series... is there anyway I can run a 3rd board? In parallel maybe?
Thanks

Why not just use a twin heat sink for that configuration also I thought you needed slate 2s to run 304s at 1400ma???Any interest in seeing a step-by-step write up on how to put this together?

I originally ordered 6 QB 304's, 2 HLG-240-c2100's, and 2 Slate 3 triples.anyone using slate 3 heatsink for a 260w kit???
I have (2x) slate 3 Heatsink, (2x) QB 288, HLG-240-c2100 driver, for total 250 watts, any concerns?
Says right in the product description "Can be powered from 10 to 60 watts. Ideal for use as supplement light, veg light or for small plants.No Thermal Interface Material or heatsink is required."Again, does the QB120 need a heatsink when run at 60 watts? Come on, HLG, that's the third question I've asked that's gone unanswered.
Dude when you bought it did you read the description? Do some research and stop asking dumb questions. My five year old could have figured it out by now.Again, does the QB120 need a heatsink when run at 60 watts? Come on, HLG, that's the third question I've asked that's gone unanswered.
No heatsink needed. I've had the flu for 4 days sorry. My kids started school and carried it home. I think it's pretty bad they called off school in the whole county.Again, does the QB120 need a heatsink when run at 60 watts?

They would run cooler in parallel as the current would divide to 1050 ma each, running them on the 1400 in series would be higher wattage and more heat but those boards can take it all dayI originally ordered 6 QB 304's, 2 HLG-240-c2100's, and 2 Slate 3 triples.
I ran them at 3 boards per Slate 3 and these lights were creating too much heat for my 4x4 tent at the full 250w. I'm in the middle of summer so my ambient temps are high already.
I ended up reworking them to 2 boards wired in parallel per slate 3 and turning them down to 180w. My temps are much better now and the plants are loving them. For my scenario I think the slate 3 triple just can't handle the heat from the full 250w.
I ordered 3 of the new slate 2 triples. I'm hoping these heat sinks allow me to run higher wattage without the heat issues.
I also ordered another HLG-240-c1400. So I am now going to have three lights. I'll probably run 2 for veg at 180w and add the third at 180w during flower.
Does running 2 QB 304's in parallel on the HLG-240-c2100 have any downsides besides the chance of thermal runaway burning boards out? Will they run hotter than a HLG-240-c1400 wired in series?
