You could get 20 of the QB128s with 5 drivers for less that a HLG 300
Okay I’ve asked them about the current and forward voltage. Hoping for a good answer.
Also asked for the price on 20 boards, @boardsbird. This cabinet is going to be lit. Pun intended.
I’m getting excited.
20 hlg boards? jealous
I don’t usually recommend it, but if you’re gonna do a shitload of boards you can save some cash going with a constant voltage supply and wiring in parallel on bigger drivers.
No no 20 not for me. : I’m doing this grow with 2 400 Watt ones and if it works i’ll just use them from now on. @dbrn32 I finally figured out the manual for the VIVIDGRO lights “Thanks you for not calling me a dumbass for what I told you”
So the light’s come in 3 different models (wide,medium,aisle) I fell backwards into the medium model that workout out perfect for me. I have them hanging at the recommended 18" giving an average 500-600 umols. 1000w HPS equivalent. Hanging 2 in a 4x4 they say it will make 600-700 making it >1000w . I don’t need that much light or the power bill. Thinking the PowerPar400 is on the chopping block too
Thanks for all your help
I managed to get the info, but it’s for the 304 quantum board, not the 128. Thought I’d share it anyway, maybe it works out better:
This is our 304 quantum board with Samsung lm561c s6 top bin leds. The forward voltage is 106V-110V at 1050mA, we suggest you use HLG-240H-C2100B driver drive 2pcs 304 boards, or HLG-480H-C2100B driver drive 4pcs 304 boards.
The best price is USD25.35/pc,
Here’s a link to the board she is referring to.
I’ve asked her for the same info for the QB128 board, but have not had a reply yet.

Looks great brother! We’re light twins haha
So they want you to run the boards at 55ish watts each? You can do that with smaller boards and save $10 per board lol.
Won’t see too many of those, especially if you don’t look at ^ thread lol.
Love to see all the light builds, its fun for sure. Then to see the results from it. Great feeling.
Thing is bright as hell, what strips are those?
Waiting on my built till I can figure out how to make the light fold in 1/2 like the SPYDR p2 light does
Piece of cake. How big of a light?

Okay I finally got more feedback on the 128 board.
128 quantum board parameter: pcb board size is 286 x 174 x 1.6mm, 1.0/W conductivity, 1OZ, 16s8p, 20-60W, 43.2-49.6V, 480-1200mA, 128pcs Samsung 561C s6 leds. the best price is $15.55/pc
The forward voltage is 44.8V-46.4V at 1050mA
MW HLG-60H-48B driver can drive 1pc 128 pcb board, Parallel wiring
MW HLG-120H-48B driver can drive 2pcs 128 pcb board, Parallel wiring
MW HLG-240H-48B driver can drive 4pcs 128 pcb board, Parallel wiring
MW HLG-320H-C1050B driver can drive 6pcs 128 pcb board, Series wiring.
I asked her specifically if the board will run passively at 1200mA and this was her reply:
yes, you can run our 128 board at 1200mA.
Now that’s a bright light!
I’ve got 2 marshydro 600w full spectrum LEDs they are great for my lil tent.
