Don't really see what makes this a better choice than the competition?

Hi guys ive been looking at these quantum boards and i was thinking to have 8 QB 132's (4 @ 2700k, 4 @ 4000k) in my 8x4 tent
so i would need
2 x HLG-240H-C1750A

2 power cords like this one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079ZRXKYB/?coliid=I13HW2JWBCG9XA&colid=FN9KHXHGUS1V&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
and 2 waterproof connectors
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XPTV45F/?coliid=IT3ZNL8Q7DYHI&colid=FN9KHXHGUS1V&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Is there anything else i'm missing, aside from hangers ? also what is the difference between the driver that ends in 1750A and 1750B (only difference i can see in the specs is that B's are IP67 rating)
one more thing - what size wire do i wire the boards in series with? 22 gauge if i am not mistaken? (pls correct me if im wrong)
PS: if anyone has this current set up, if you could share your experience/pictures/par readings with these QBs - thx guys

Any idea why the qb288 is more yellow than the qb120’s (I am pushing 75w to each via their own driver)

I ran 14 gauge solid wire and it worked great

Ok that’s right it’s 3000k and the 120s are 4000k. Ordered four more 132s in 2700k for my future flower room.

Different color temp.
I would have gotten all 3000k/3500k personally. Looks like you got 2x in 4000k or even 5000k.

Beautiful work, man. Love seeing these clean setups.

My flower set up shown above is all 2700k. My veg is all 4000k. I have a variety in packaging so I can swap them out and interchange them as I see a need.
I am running lrs-350-36 to run sets of 4 in parrelllel. Each one has a potentiometer and multimeter display. The single is powered by a lrs 75 36. That controls the center board so I can dim it as needed (bright spot likely otherwise in the center).
Thanks a lot I appreciate it

I made these this morning for the veg setup. I like to leave the custom touch that’s not easily reproduced.

I have a question about those LCD meters. Do you run what's coming in from the AC or the DC side. Say I had 2 drivers I want to be read from 1 LCD. Would I just take the + and - from each driver output and wire them into the appropriate LCD wires? I have been looking into ordering one of those.
