Datasheet says the ELG-240-C2100 is 93% efficient. Which LRS model has higher efficiency?

I'd like to know this also! @Stephenj37826 are the 2835 boards a long-term product?

Agreed. Better spread of light and you'll be able to keep the fixture closer to the canopy.

want to put 3x qb132's on a dimmable ip rated driver. would like to be able to max them out if necessary. Looks like that XLG would only give me 1400ma? Am i reading spec sheet correctly? edit: i don't think i am reading it right. What does 1400ma rated current mean?

79-89% on the LRS
It goes from 1400-2100mA and fits 3x 36v board with the possibility of adding another later If desired. Plus its ip67.
Smaller and lighter than older meanwells. Efficiency 92.5 on the M version. Also considerably cheaper.

Ok, imma order it! Thx!
BTW MouserElectronics seems super cool about changing orders!

Looking to try these out but still skeptical not trying to spend a lot. What driver would you advise for running 3 288 v1 ?

Like...SO COOL....they told me to keep the HLG-150h-36 i originally ordered! Guess I need some more QB's.....

I also got a freebie from Mouser. In my early DIY days, I didn't fully understand what "hiccup mode" meant, their online support sent me a replacement within minutes, and then shortly after, I figured out the driver was fine....They originally said they wanted the "faulty" driver for inspection, but once I clarified the situation, they said to just keep it.

3 xV1 falls into a quirky spot between drivers.
How much space are you looking to cover with em?

I would probably use a 320H-C2100. Would get you roughly 306w

Wouldnt a 480-2800 work for 3 in series?

I'm not certain the slate2 heatsink will be enough to handle that. It might be with good airflow, but I'm reluctant to say for sure. The board can handle it power wise for sure.
I only have one single board, with a 120H (135 V1 kit) so my actual experience is pretty limited.
I'm always deferring to what HLG puts out as kits, or prebuilt combos, when it comes to the capabilities.

wouldnt it just put 3 in series to their max of 2800ma and youd only get 420w out of it.
Wouldnt have to use it full blast, just wondering if itd work like I think it does.

It will work.

Yes it would work. You are definitely right.

the QB96 have added red and deep red, if you're into that.

You have the potential to crank the QB96's to higher wattages than the 288's, and if you're considering the rspec then the 96's are less expensive. I presume that with higher output come better penetration.
