How are 260W QB V2 RSPEC LED KITs .. 260w ?? when the
HLG-240H-C1050A
driver is only 249.9 W max output

can someone explain this or am i missing something ?

should it not be 240w ?

I have 3 of the V1 260 fixtures, same driver. My power draw at the wall is 285 watts.

ok i suppose its semantics ... and possibly a sly sales ploy lol yes 260w -16.9w loss = the 243.1w output

but then why is the
320W XL QB V2 R SPEC LED KIT
based on the output watts of the
HLG-320H-C1050A output power 320w surley you do one way or the other and base your watts of the kit on input watts or output watts, not both ?? ie this light kit should be something like a 353.28w with your reasoning of input watts

A slippery seller from the land of cheap & nasty would list that at 1600w no worries.
Gullible souls would believe it fair dinkum.

How would a kit with the name 243.1 kit (depending on led forward voltage of course and your particular driver) lol. They indeed used to pull 285+ at the wall but as the LEDs have changed and VF has went down they have gained output while lowering power consumption.... win /win. At some point name recognition needs to be accounted for so you don't change the name you change the version. ..... iPhone 1 iPhone 2 ect. Galaxy S you name it .

i seem to always lean towards driver output figures on what it can deliver to the boards or cobs , its just weard that the 2 kits i used as examples seem to be using 2 different conventions 1 input watts and the other output thats all . it makes it seem more powerful than it is ?? some how
