QB132 x4 with LRS-350-36 post pics of your grow with this setup !!!

[Yesyes3000]

Hello everyone! So I am wondering if I’m just being paranoid but I think that my setup isn’t as bright as it was when I first set it up... does anyone have any clues to how to get the 4 board qb132 setup brighter ? Or reasons why it may be less bright ? Or has anyone had this situation? I just feel like it’s not as bright and when I look at pictures online of setups with these boards I feel like they look bright as hell !!! Anyhow any help or thoughts are appreciated

also if peoplecould post pics of there grows with the qb132’s being used ....

Thank you very much !!! Have a great day

Turn this potentiometer to change brightness. Set it with a drop of nail polish to lock in your brightness level.

If you turn it too far, don't worry. It goes into hiccup mode and starts flashing on and off. Just turn it back the other way slowly until it comes on solidly, then turn it maybe 1/16 - 1/8 of a turn more to be at a good steady voltage.

And just wondering why you got the 350? 2 of the LRS-200-36's, 1 per 2 boards, would have been a lot more efficient and BRIGHTER.

Ohh that’s interesting I just copied a lot of other builds I found that used that driver

I think 100w is more than what the qb132 takes. Is it 80w max?

Also, does anyone know if there is manual voltage control on the lrs350?

There is a button on the side of the driver that I’m not sure what it does ...

I haven't looked at the 132's in a long time I forgot they were the half boards.

Do you have a kilowatt meter to tell what wattage your using? I think using a meter will help you determine if your underpowereing them the easiest. I have 2 rigs with 4 132 boards on each, one is 2700k V1 and other is 4k V2. I don't use the same driver you have there, I use a 240h-36a in parallel for the V1's and a 240h-c1750a in series for the V2. Turned up they both can push 300w at wall but I run them at 280w total.

Also if your going by pictures of others 132 rigs like you mentioned the 4k or 3500k boards will appear brighter then 3000k or 2700k boards.

I believe that is to switch between 120/240 volt input
