I have $200 to use. What quantum board or QB strips should I purchase ?

[Yesyes3000]

hello all
I have $200 and am looking for some ideas on what quantum boards to purchase and or the quantum board strips or linear strips or modules or led cob strips lol I belive they call them.?? I have been exploring the strips they have on Digikey.com I just can’t tell which I ones to get. Seems there are quite a few different options to choose from on Digikey. I love the quantum boards that HLG has and am keen to buying those as well. They are always out of the 3500k quantum board 132 V2 . Anyhow I look forward to everyone’s ideas. Thanks for your time and knowledge!

How much space do you want to grow in? Or is that not important?

Quantum boards are a tad more expensive than Strips.
Cobs are usually cheaper, but require expensive heat sinks.
Strips are usually low cost and require minimal temperature management...

How many strips would you need to match the par of a quantum board?

 

[eyderbuddy]

HLG recommends using heatinks if running over 75W. So if i assume they output 2.7 μmoles/joule at ~75 watts, then:

4 x 2ft long Bridgelux EB Gen 2 running at 20 watts can match it.
or
8 x 1ft long Bridgelux EB Gen 2 running at 10 watts can match it.

It seems like they're almost "on par" when compared watt per watt. With QB's being more expensive, and brighter.
