Been creeping the threads for some time now and am finally looking into these three lovely HLG kits/builds and was looking for opinions for a 4x4 tent after I move here shortly in the next month or so.
They all seem rather similar to me, obviously using the same V2 boards from what I can tell. Not super enlightened on the whole process of leds but have been reading up a lot of par, ppfd, and umol/j. Not so much on applying driver strengths, mA, etc applied to to various boards which is why I'm leaning these 3 instead of easily picking one or building from scratch I suppose.
I decided to qb due to simplicity for now although one day in the short future maybe I'll get a little more hands on with strips.
Anyhow, the first 2 prebuilts, the difference is only the driver essentially? One up to 480w, one to 600w with Bluetooth?
The last xl kit (x2) would be 6 boards total instead of 4, at 640w total. Figured could be dimmed when applicable but with more of a spread and more effeciency?
I also like how these 2 rows of 3 boards could be more versatile and if I wanted to use them elsewhere in a smaller tent or something later, i could split them up if need be (without breaking them down) with them not being built 4 into one frame like the first 2.
Its a pretty big chunk of change for me so I figured I'd ask for opinions, hell, maybe I'll learn a lil bit while I'm asking. I am trying to learn as much as I can about it but I'm gonna order the lights soon.(or else ill spend the money)
Sooner than I can probably wrap my head around it all which is why I'm here.
Leaning toward the 3rd option right now being a little more versatile. However it's almost 640w across 6 boards, as opposed to 600w across 4 in the hlg600 and correct me if I'm wrong but it'd probably be better to have something with more power, running dimmed, to be more efficient, on top of the 2 extra boards increasing spread. Idk, maybe there's something I don't know, am misinformed on, or am overlooking.
I thank you all in advance and any constructive input is much much appreciated.
