Lighting QB96 Elite V2 Engine

[The Iconoclast]

@ClydeWalters, you've been bigging up these QB's with regard to your excellent bud results, well I'm about to find out how true it is, I'm currently at 8.5 Weeks on this auto, and if these do not explode over the next few weeks, I'll be pretty disappointed.

Looks like your about to be a very happy camper lovely plants. They tend to take longer in hydro so could go another 4-5 weeks.

I am new to the LED game. I am a 315 CMH man right now but am looking to pick up 2 QB96 V2 for another tent. Whats is the best dimmable driver to buy for these bad boys?

I reckon best to get a 185W 54A for each one. I've seen people go for the 240W 54A but I think that introduces more problems than it's worth.

I got mine with a 320w 54A and plan to run each at around 160. that seems to be what a lot of folks here do.
I have learned from the kind people here.

hi mate

i have same set up as you 2x qb96's V2 with 2x HLG 185H-54A drivers.

can you tell me at what hight did you hang them in veg and in flower?

does it better to screw all the way down IO adj. in veg to get total power from 2x qb96 at 220w?

What type of Wire do you guys use to connect these? My Debit card purchased 2 of them and a ballast tonight... hahahaha. The 320 Watt Ballast and 2 lights. I will have a side by side in a 4x8 tent vs Cobs. Peace, slow

Nice slow was wondering what u were going to get. These things look legit and can handle some power.

Hi Weedy, in flower I'm generally about 15 to 20 inches depending on the size I need to cover. I have the Voltage on 11 and I have the current at onc tic down on 10. I'm getting 210W out of each. I haven't tried all the way with both pots. I'm reading 3.8A and 55.4V

You have to be careful if you have both pots on full that you don't get a thermal runaway. But at 210 with the Current one tic down seems to run fairly cool at 55C with a fan.

I haven't vegged under these yet, but I just bought a chilled royal blue QB 100W puck

The light bars look cool, but overpriced. $1,000 to light up a 4x4 is not my idea of a good investment. I can run 2 of these and sprinkle a cob in here and there if need be. I will throw these 2 in my 4x8 and see how they do with the Sativa Testers. Once they arrive, I will figure out exactly what I will do. I was itching to try something new, and these little guys look powerful. Worth a shot?

Do you know anything about these little guys? How is your new light?
