@kcir916 Been thinking of moving driver on 260 kit in center for a better balance .not sure. Any thoughts
@Roger A. Shrubber Currently driver on corner as center of heatsink is more hot than corner. Remote driver would be great but makes kit assembly slightly more complex.
With driver on top the kit is around 60C with no air movement. Pretty good for passive cooling

Also thinking of a 260w XL kit. Just longer with boards more spaced out. Should give better spread.

Tested a 90w kit with qb288 and hlg-80h-54a. It was pulling 110 watts at wall.
Does the slate 2 have more cooling power than the slate 3?

Any word on the optics?

Have to install the sinks and fans now and it'll be ready to go, 100_2603.JPG 100_2604.JPG 100_2605.JPGlooks like a bad one top right, need to look at it through the welding goggles to see a damn thing.
put one of my old 32x32 tents back up, going to try flowering one plant under this QB and see how it goes. if its successful, i'll make three more and get rid of my hps.

Nice job. I like the red. Where did you get the frame?

Have you used a 1000 watt HPS? I am curious to see how your yields might compare going forward.
