Do you mean that You've never experienced light burn with LEDs since you started Growing?

There's a very high likelihood that you'll burn your plant(s) blasting them with that many photons in an enclosed area with highly reflective walls surrounding them.
No sign of light burn I’m hanging both at 24 from the top plants loving it u can see the growth over night

If you wanna cancel that, here's what I use. Works so unbelievably well and is way cheaper. Infinitys are good, don't get me wrong, but I don't see the justification for the price.


Unfortunately the original listing is sold out of 4" but they'll restock eventually.

I can't even hear mine. this is exactly the same as an AC just without the marketing hype. The listing that hasn't got the 4" doesn't come with a fan speed controller which I didn't need. But the first li K has it built in.

Just tried and they don't ship to Hawaii.
There's an AC infinity sale on Amazon so it was like $27 off.

So I'm still confused on the driver situation.
This is what I need:
  • Dimmable
  • Able to run between 2-4 qb 120
  • Enough power to run 4x120 at max
From what @Airwalker16 said parallel is able to run less board with still the same efficiency.

Looking at the hlg website I found this

120H allows 2-4 but is it able to reach max?

Yes. There's a reason they recommend that driver. I hadn't realized thatvwas underneath the page.
But it matches up with what I said. I apologize on the advising the wrong voltage driver. The 132boards are 36V and I thought the 120s were the same, but they're actually 24v.

You will always get Max power with these CV drivers. Like i said, if you remove a board from it, the current is divided equally amongst the remaining boards.

No problem!

120 is the wattage right?
Each board can only run @ max 70w. Is there a benefit of getting 240 over a 120?
