The strips are 560x18mm.Im making an order today or tomorrow for sure, hoping to have everything built within two weeks so i can start flowering my currently vegging girls.
Still undecided whether i want to go h-influx or q series though. The q series is like over 200 cheaper, if its the same except more wiring, then I might as well go that route. I just need to make sure my wiring is correct. Ive drawn a diagram of course, thats how my brain works. Is this correct @Reekwind ? Obviously, this is only 2 lights, 1/3 of the total project. 3 strips per bar? How wide are the strips? I cant seem to find that. But i can shear my aluminum to whatever size, so i think 3 strips per bar will be good?
Okay, 60 q series strips and 6 XLG-200-H-AB drivers in hand. Working on making my frame in the next few days. I gotta still get thermal tape, pots, and plugs.The strips are 560x18mm.
You can basically group the strips how you want but but keep light distribution in mind, if you space the strips evenly the light is weighted towards the center of the light. I suggest an uneven distribution.
I've shown the idea in the drawing below, obviously the strips would be a lot closer in the real build approx. same width and length. They're just spaced apart in the drawing to be able to see the wiring better.
The mixed connection build with Q-series powered by XLG 200 H-AB is done like this:

Like the 3000k stuff I have a few posts up?It’s impossible not to, unless you grow with mono color and that’s gonna be a sad grow
Sounds like it's not correctly wired or there's a loose connection.Okay guys, so I got the first (of six) lights wired up, but when god said let there be light, I instead got a let down. Does anyone have any idea why zero of the lights would turn on? I got 120 to the input on a voltmeter, but output was like .7 or something like that, regardless of either of the pots locations.
No, 3000K is a broad spectrum, I mean mono diodes like 660nm.Like the 3000k stuff I have a few posts up?
Just added 4 Rspec FR boards to one 4*8 but technically by definition 3000k is mono but sure is a broad spectrum and it seems people lose sight of the basics when looking...No, 3000K is a broad spectrum, I mean mono diodes like 660nm.
I have 4x4 with 3000K only, and it's awesome

Okay, heres pics the best i can. The first one is a whole view.
The next two are showing where the negative was switched to the "output" strip, the other end in the pic tying the strips together is wired parallel because that was my last attempt, which did not work, but i also tried it with just one jumper in series pos to neg like the next pictures. The next pictures show wired i believe exactly as the diagram from Reekwind, which didnt work. Only way they work is wired in parallel all the way.
