DIY with Quantum Boards

max recommended by HLG is 160 watts. I'd run them at about 80-100 watts per board. Even there you'll about max the light needed in a 4'x4'


I was able to jump on the latest restock! I am super excited to finally replace my mars panels! I purchased 6 of the 304 boards and 2 slate triples. I plan on running three boards per slate in a 4x4.

What do you guys think I should run each board at 250w or 300w?

Could you post that 40w driver for me? Otherwise I'm gonna buy a cheap 50w 1400ma driver off of ebay but that looks much more clean than soldering on a DC plug and then grounding the unit from the driver to the structure.

GSC-40B-1400 plugs straight into QB120 board
