I've been trying to get an answer to this question for a couple of months now. (Granted, I've only asked Stephen here on the forum, and haven't emailed HLG, which I should probably do.)

They came with a price and at the right time to counter sales from cheap chinese on amazon. Now with reduced stock availabilty due to the run of corona in mainland China, the impact of those china amazon lights may be less of a threat to HLG turnover and margins.
Then theres the outlook for the coming months, as a business manufacturing in the USA. Launching new product, whilst dealing with the impact of constraints brought about by the virus. Its tough.

Can’t see 135 v1 Kit now on their site.
Maybe posted too much good stuff about it
Yeah the page has gone, I have it bookmarked and its just gone.

Me too man, I bought 8 of them, only because I already bought 10 twin heatsinks for a tenner each , I don't even need them but I couldn't resist. Thinking about it I should of bought 20 boards to go with the 10 twin heat sinks. But I will find a place for them one day!
Anyway everyone interested.
I got a response from emailing HLG about the v1 boards.
They were sold at cost with zero margin and wont be restocking them.

Well at least the question has been answered. Thanks, man! Damn glad I jumped on it when I did; although I now feel like I should have bought more, of course! Then again, perhaps it's just as well. I've been planning to go with strips for the next build, but having that option to get boards at such low cost might have been too much temptation, and could have scuttled the plan!

would I be able to do a 4x4 with just 2 of those boards?

Not full, but you could get away with 2 in a 3x3 tent.

You need 450-600watts in a 4x4. Those boards CAN run at 225w, but it's not what you wanna do. You really need 4 so you can run each one at a lower 125-150w and have a more even spread. Honestly, the more boards at lower wattage the better.

If I wanted to plan to upgrade later and get 2 lights for now but make a 2x2 perimeter under the lights for the plants to grow into so their is not a loss of spread? The canopy will be flat from lst

Quantum Green ....
Gotham Limited
KKP S1
All flipped and will be the last plants run for awhile .... as i have enough MEDS for awhile .
Already have two more plants to finish chop ( GSG ) ... so these remainders will be the last until we hopefully get thru all the chaos.
GOTHAM LIMITED - Flipped about 6 days
KKP S1 - from that Selfing seed run I did not too long ago. One was topped , one wasn’t but both share good vigor and growth. Same layered medium mix as all the rest .... they are under older V1 3500k/ COB rig ..... smaller one was just flipped ( minor veg time ) just to clear grows out.
Hope you guys / gals are keeping safe and green !

I have a HLG-320H-C2100A wired in series to four(4) HLG Quantum boards 132 V2’s. 36v 2000ma max.
How hard should I run these ? I know I’ll need to dial it back some.
They will have a fan blowing on them. My test meter will not read DC amps. It will read AC amps and DC volts/millivolts.

If you are following a 2000mA per board maximum then 288 watts would be your maximum wattage.
If you run a little higher, up to about 300 watts at the boards, that will be fine also. Especially with a dedicated fan cooling them. If you can only read AC wattage, I would try to keep your wall draw at about 330 watts maximum.
