Lighting A little more light

[Marshydro]

That's correct. I use it because of its price, effectiveness and simplicity.

Good choice when run a small grow space or in a budget wish you can gain a great yield from it

No this is supplemental. my tent is 4x4. I have a 600w Cree cob fixture with full spectrum blues reds and IR. It is a very good light even though it is a Chinese fixture. It is slightly rectangular and I want to turn it 90° so that it is lengthwise across the tent near the front opening and put the new light behind it (toward the back).

I personally would get the QBs or the Ecofarm and completely replace the light you have now. Both are going to outperform that light and you can always add a second set of 4 QBs at another 240 watts later to maximize the footprint at 480w. Otherwise in the meantime I'd put them around the current light.

HLG offer far red kits as well as a 4x4 would only need 2-4 strips and a low wattage driver and it's not the most expensive project compared to RapidLEDs exotic boards

With the quantum boards you could run all 4 and get rid of the 600 watt. The space is only 4x1.5 or is it larger? If it was me I would build one fixture depending on your grow style. Do you have a pic of your space? I was initially going to run the QB132s x 12 in a 4x4 but the cost is a bit more than I was willing to spend at the time lol.

I don't know much about Ecofarm but UV and IR aren't practical in terms of efficiency yet to there to be true streamlined diodes. Agromax makes UV t5 bulbs that would be my preference for UV distribution.

It's up to you whatever you choose though.

Do you have a set for links for sourcing everything I need?

Thanks. How about the strips, aluminum, drivers, etc

The QB120s don't need a heatsink but you could make a frame to mount them on to adjust them all at once

Here's the driver

That's all you really need them just wire them in series. Enough light for a 4x2 space then you could just add a second set later. Vertical racks would work too

Thank you

Here is what I'm I'm getting this will be assembled and ready to hang. All I have to do is buy the hangars and drill holes for same. As I said all I need is a little supplement light for my perpetual grow. I will have approximately 720w in my 4x4. Eventually I will get the Agrow 2' T5 UV bulb and fixture. for now I have a cannibalized lizzard tank UB bulb dangling over my late flower plant pictured in the vmback of the tent. Also I can put my corn cob bulb back in my garage.
