If you run a hlg240-c1050 driver board voltage won't matter as you will run them in series this way. Also if you are going to run then extremely close to the top of the cabinet just make sure you have some airflow above them.

One HLG-240H-C2100A in parallel.

Where's my heatsinks?
Just kidding
Maybe I can sneak a pic tonight.

I was thinking that I was doing something wrong seeing the progress you had at 13 days.

Boards are in stock. Heatsinks for boards are out of stock and will be back in 2 weeks.

Sorry no RIU promo codes on website. Never liked the complexity of raising price only to add a discount code.
We do offer better pricing on purchase of 8 or more boards.

@1000ppm
there is a quick reference chart on
https://northerngrowlights.com/pages/engineering
Closest listed to 1amp is the 1050,
109.9(volt) 1050(amp) 115.39(watt) 166.7(lumen/watt)

and with a 321 LER that is roughly 52% efficiency.
Literally the very 1st post explains it all.........and Divide the actual Lumens per watt by LER [theoretical construct of what a diode emits at 100% efficiency] ....to get your efficiency #

@Budzbuddha thanks for sharing pics. your grow looks great.
For now we only have plants of limited 4000K and 5000K boards.
We are thinking of stocking some 660nm starboards with push connectors to suppliment the board light. No plans for IR chips and maybe UV boards yet.
We thought about dual channel boards 3000K and 5000K but it seems 3000K is doing well enough. Lets see results from 4000K and 5000K boards and then we can see if dual channel(spectrum) boards are needed
Regarding new size boards @Stephenj37826 have been
discussing about new board designs all weeks we have a new concept everyday. Things will take a while as we want to create something much better. Holidays in China for next few weeks so things will take a while.

That looks really nice for 2x2.5 with 100W. Thanks for sharing the photos

I updated all the drawings here to indicate + and -

With 320-1400 like this. I prefer this config
With 320-2800 you will have to do like this

for 930-1000 ma per board 162-172lm/w depending on current and Vf bin
For more details refer to Calculator here. Use values LM561C, 3000K, 80 CRI, AZ Voltage Bin, S5 Flux bin. # of LED as 304x (number of boards). Change IF_Drive mA to see lm/W and flux for different power.
Some of the new boards are coming at A1 voltage bin instead of AZ bin. A1 has slightly higher voltage so slightly lower LM/w
I will update website to list the lm/W Vf and details for both AZ and A1 voltage bins.
We will upgrade the boards to S6 flux bin. Should take 10-14 weeks.

NapalmD's lamp is wired like this with HLG-320H-C2800A
HLG-320H-C2800 is rated 319.2W at 92% efficiency about 347 watts at wall.
However these Type A drivers have more power. HLG-320H-C2800 comes set at 2800mA. You can adjust the current and get a little higher. NapalmD's lamp was pulling 390 Watts at wall with HLG-320H-C2800A
