Built for Quantum Board 288 v2's. Each one has 4 wheels on the bottom - easy to roll around. Easy to reorient the boards.

This is how I wound up opting to wire out my light. I intend to chop out the crimps and adding Anderson Powerpole Connectors in their place.
I'm very impressed with the way the 1150 diodes casts. There is no shadow cast by the lights if you put things between them and the base of the tent, pretty wild.

Some info on the build would be nice, there ANC!!! 4' F Strips?

Hi, yes, its just a basic a build, 4 times double row strips type F on a 320W driver. 1152 LEDs

Achillesactual · Nov 1, 2018

Two more diodes than me... I'm going to have to re wire my light.
WERE ADDING ANOTHER STRIP /s

ANC I love the way you soldered directly to the board instead of using the push in connectors. Will be doing that once I transition into my larger grow area FOR SURE.

ANC is GOD.

Na, I used the push in, but I did connect them on the side with the two exposed pads in case I wanted to solder them on. My wiring just looks very slick, because it is in that plastic channel.

Would love a closer picture of your wiring at some point if you wouldn't mind!

pics from another unit I made. It is easier with equal numbers of strips as you just make a U in a few pieces and solder them together in the bend.

Achillesactual · Nov 1, 2018

Thanks man that's super clean. I like the positioning of the push in connectors on those strips a hell of a lot more than the 2's

ANC · Nov 1, 2018

Yeah well, there are 32 screws to contend with...

Ya tapping those sinks musta been a nightmare

ANC · Nov 2, 2018

No, I used nuts and bolts, so I drilled the holes large.
Still had to countersink the holes to get the plates to sit flush, though.

The hardest part is drilling the holes in the side the threaded rod goes through all at the same spot.

Don't try this at home
Towers worked great - too many lights

Wow Thats crazy

Can you tell us more Data

How much qbs (v1 or v2)
And how much Power total or each board

Would Love to see that girls in the last week of flowering

All done fabricating our new flower light, it's stupid bright.

HLG-600H-42A and 36 LT-QB22A in 3000K, 12 per 2x4 frame.

Our first round will be interesting.

4 x CXB3590 @ 1750 mA, 3500k. It's working well for me. The grow closet is 3' x 3' x 5.5'.

where did you get the case, if you made it please share the specs

If I remember right, he fabricated it himself.

Another stupid bright light, built for my uncle and his starters/seedlings.

(10) LT-F562B 5000K in 2S5P on an HLG-185H-48B. 2x4 frame with 3/4" Al angle bar. I have an HLG-185H-42B coming and hope it'll work.

Never mind the temporary messy electrical tape work.

Beautiful craftsmanship. Wish I had the engineering skills to do such a build
