4x4Depends on what space you want to cover and what much height you have. At 240 watts each i would at least use someone alusheet backing.

480 W should be plenty for that space. If you wanna go with 600 w i recomend putting them on a alusheet, maybe glue or thermaltape some u-channels on top for more dissipation.
What driver setup do you have for them? And how thick of an alu sheet do you recommend?480 W should be plenty for that space. If you wanna go with 600 w i recomend putting them on a alusheet, maybe glue or thermaltape some u-channels on top for more dissipation.
But for a similar price you can get 3 fotop boards, same dimensions, 800 lm561c diodes each and run them without heatsink. 480w would be plenty of light. You would have much lower temps and begter coverage and would be able to almost completely cover your cannopy with light. I recently setup 5 of those boards at 750w total/150w per board over something like a 6.5'x4' and was very happy with it. No heatsink and no heat. Very even coverage. Good par reading both close and further away.
Wait, are you saying you add/remove drivers in parallel to the same set of lights and they work happily together?I attach 48v drivers until i reach desired level. 750w on 5 boards was very good, but 3 drivers in the same wago made the light slightly flickery. I will get a hlg480-48A (or B) and add another hlg240-48 if need a bit more oomph.
2 seemed to work without a problem, 3 and the lights was subtly flickering.Wait, are you saying you add/remove drivers in parallel to the same set of lights and they work happily together?
I'm aware that you can have more than one power supply in an electrical circuit but wondered if Meanwell's fault detection circuitry would trip up when used like this.
Real nice setup there mateI measured with the IR thermometer, 38C / 100.4f. This is while running them at 70W.

I found this site, https://www.keysight.com/main/editorial.jspx?cc=RO&lc=eng&ckey=520808&nid=-11143.0.00&id=520808 which states:2 seemed to work without a problem, 3 and the lights was subtly flickering.
Ill try that next time im there.I found this site, https://www.keysight.com/main/editorial.jspx?cc=RO&lc=eng&ckey=520808&nid=-11143.0.00&id=520808 which states:
"The output voltage controls of one power supply should be set to the desired output voltage (CV); the other power supplies should be set for a slightly higher output voltage. The supplies with the higher output voltage setting will provide constant current output, and will drop their output voltage until it equals the output of the CV supply."
Have you tried playing with the voltage dimmers when you had 3 connected and blinking?
I'm still undecided as to what driver to get for them..@Moflow what's the lowest power the boards would run at, thinking side lighting and plants possibly touching the leds. Im not for doing it but just curious.
She says I can't wire 3 of them in series on a HLG-600480 W should be plenty for that space. If you wanna go with 600 w i recomend putting them on a alusheet, maybe glue or thermaltape some u-channels on top for more dissipation.

I think they all send express... 3 days?How long did it take to get your package after you ordered if you are in the US???
They crack your head for shipping and handling?I think they all send express... 3 days?
Man bro im new on here but just wanted to say nice job bro they sum purdy buds!Getting ready for the chop.
I de-fanned the SS Original and a Royal Gorrilla yesterday and will do the other RG today in prep for trim jail either lamarra or Thursday.

The Sensi reeks to high dough but not too much pong offa the RG's... or so I thought.....
My missus sez I'm just immune to smell and it and it stinks lol
Enjoy
