The heat sinks are 200x 600mm and tight together. So the fixture is 400mm x 600mm.
Think ill rig up a couple L brackets to space them further apart.

It came fully assembled dimmer works fine.. runs from 70-484watts at the wall.
The little remote works too.

I dont have a par meter or anything to test it.. anything i need to be wary of or look out for?
Cheers for any input qb gurus

Looks like a good light. I would probably space them out a little as well. The remote is a nice touch. What was your total cost with shipping?

Total cost with shipping was £250 -$326
Import fees would have been about another £100 but they put the value on the docket as low as you like - this makes import duty a lot cheaper like £25

I paid on friday at 9am and it arrives at 1pm on monday. Hong kong to ireland

That’s a great price for that lamp. Why did you go with the V1 diodes?

I went with the older diodes cause they were £60 cheaper and i wasnt sure what i was going to get sent quality wise.
Even the older diodes are a hell of a lot more efficient than my hps

I was actually wondering. If I just want to use my boards for flowering, should I go with 3000k or 2700k?
I’ve never had issues with vegging so I’m thinking to use the existing lite in my smaller tent for vegging and the boards for flower.
What do you guys think?

Nice light and a great price. Be ready to use that dimmer lol I’m running 240 watts of the new diodes and they r at the top of the tent stacking tight nodes I need a dimmer. Seriously hang it at the top of the tent and leave it there I love the remote dimmer I need one of those too.

Will do bud cheers for the tip

Hey guys. Need some creative help.

I need some help coming up with a slogan for QBs....more specifically, the new HLG-550V2 that is ETL certified for commercial use. I’m working on a print design for a flyer that HLG will take with them to an indoor growing and lighting trade show at the end of this month. The design is pretty much done, but I don’t have a call to action or a clever eye grabber on it. That’s what it is missing.

Examples:
- “Out with the old, in with the new.”

- “HIDs need not apply.”

These are a few I like but can’t decide which one. Which one would grab your attention the most?

“A Quantum Leap for Indoor Growing”

“A Quantum Leap for Indoor Growers”

“A Quantum Leap for Indoor Gardeners”

The best way to decide would be to put both spectrum graphs next to each other and decide based upon how you feel about it. Some of the cob graphs show 3500 is ideal. But when I picked up my QB 132 I honestly was very happy with the red in the 4K so will run those instead. I think most of the LEDs will go a full run with anything between 3-4K.
