DIY with Quantum Boards

Not appropriate to post this in HLG's thread, that's like me posting an HLG light in Mars Hydros thread.

And there's no comparison between a light like that and an HLG light. Ask them for the lab report of the sphere test fr that light, see what they say.......
Speaking of Mars Hydro, I would have to say that I have lights from them and I won't buy from anywhere else but them and HLG,that's how impressed with them that I am...

shit I just zoomed in on the pic he posted and they are definitely qb 132 v2s. sorry @Frank Nitty that I didn't notice this before. driver math needs to be redone. 4 132s x 36V = 132V. that C2100 driver only goes up to 119V so that won't work for the 4 boards in series. but it should work using one of the C1750 drivers. need to double check data sheets tho.
It's 144V

It's 144V
thanks! and sorry again @Frank Nitty

based on that I'm pretty sure 4 132s will work fine on the C1750 in series. same diagram I gave before.

@pop22 said earlier that the 2 Rspec boards in series will work on a C1750 as well.

I would wait for confirmation on this. I am not an expert nor do I claim to be was just trying to be helpful. sorry again for the confusion. I never saw those 132 v2 boards before and assumed they were 120s.

The 240H-C1750 will work for the QB 132. The 240H-36 will work also.

@Frank Nitty here is how i would wire up the QB120 fixture in series using your current setup to keep the wiring simple. You just need to make sure the + / - are in the proper positions so u might need to flip the 2 'bottom' boards so they are setup like in this diagram.

red is driver +
black is driver -
gray is wires connecting the boards together in series

Qb132s have their connections on the same end,so do I wire the same way as you have shown20211005_114743.jpg20211005_114805.jpg

In a 2x2x3 maybe if you turn it all the way up

So basicly under 120w quantum board are trash?
I like QB96s at 100 watts, and the others aren't trash, they just might be a bit more costly than more complicated but cheaper diy options. I am pretty sure DIY with QBs is still better and cheaper than the spiderfarmer/mars options, but I haven't checked in detail for a couple years?
