DIY QB light build

followed ledGardener build guid its sorta a hybrid between the 3x3 build and the 4x4.
im using 8 of the LT-F564B 2′ LED and driving them with HLG-320H-48B so only 320 watts.
178.9 lm/w
Diode Count: 1,152
power from wall 330watts
but this should outperform the HLG 300
i wanted the light pretty even that's why the side heat sinks are on the side like that.
digkey order $308.88
heatsinkusa $147.59
odds and ends from amazon $60
total $515
had drill and tap set all ready.
and got that far red puck

That's very interesting.

He actually didn't do bad. He has 1150 authentic diodes that is spread out over the area and will give a nice blanketed area. You don't know what's in the knock-offs; sure they work, but there's still variables.

The knock offs I've used work, but the build is nice too.

Your build is good LiquidPower, I made a similar kinda build recently (still kinda building it) but I used the HinFlux L09. I was trying to figure out why yours cost more... ah! the heatsinks. I ordered some, had them made, and have since been refunded because the order was lost by UPS. I get them for free if they find them. In retrospect, I don't think I even needed heatsinks and my strips aren't even backed onto an aluminum flatbar (although they are on a metal shelf) (and running overpowered).

Another thing I did was ordered from Arrow and used my first time customer rebate of 10%. Ordered pretty well everything from there (wagos, wire, drivers, strips) and got free international shipping. It was uber fast. I'm just reviewing facts, I am not affiliated with any company.



Anyhow, good job liquidpower.

Hey thanks Trojan yeah the heatsinks i def hurt the wallet a lil but over all i love my build. thanks. im right now in my first rdwc and scrog attempt def let it veg to long now i cant wait for my next grow! ill keep every one posted
