- followed your advice = got the QB288 V2Rspec Kit [x2] @ 370.00 and the HLG-240H-C2100A [x2] from Sager @ $122.00 - that fills a 4X4 tent for VEG & Flower for ~500.00 - just need the small wire/stuff picked up in the next few days…tnx again !!!

If you got $370 kit from hlg you shouldn’t need the additional driver. The kit will come with driver and all wiring needed.
- V2 Rspec bundle came from [LED Grow Lights Depot 185.00 X2 = 370.00
- MW driver from Sager Power for 61.00 X2 = 122.00
So i have invested ~500.00 for 2 kits to fill my 4X4 tent -
One QB288 V2 Rspec bundle via HLG [ complete Kit ] is 369.00. or 2 kits 740.00
that being said, i hope to save about $240 pulling together my own DIY kits.
get the wiring parts local and pay myself at the same time.
That Lets me buy the next thing sooner since i saved a bundle…

i cant wait till they get here - i have 6 WW Autos on week 4\5. i am certain they will stretch out for these guys.
Timing being everything - on the HLG site you can buy QB288 V2 QUANTUM BOARDS [ 3000K only] for $55.00 each. if you only needed them today…

Everything that I found on that site was sold out. I am looking for Horticulture Lighting Group 260 Watt Quantum Board LED Kit V2 Rspec. Building is a bit cheaper from what I see. Waiting for my seeds before I pull the trigger.

i got ship emails from both companies CA pointed out 1 day turnover is about the best
- BTW, the 4X QB288’s are shipping outta their Knoxville, TN warehouse.
If your really interested in the DIY stuff, check youtube for Growmau5, he teaches how to do everything, including figuring wattage, voltage, amps and how to build your own light. Be safe & Happy growin’

So the 240-2100 will run 2-288s or 4-120s. How many 132s will it power? Or is the 132 the 240-1750

It’s technically too much current for 132 boards I think. Max current on 2000ma… I could be wrong though.
I edited the post after i started thinking it may be the 1750. I researched so many combos lol

Is the power cord the same as a computer cord?
You should probably be able to use that, would just have to cut the end off. I would just check what size the conductors are and make sure they are big enough for what you’re running.
Ok good to know. Will be going to Lowe’s today. Am I looking for a 16/3 cable? Or is there a more specific term?

you need to decide if the Driver is in the tent or not to cur for length - i plan to allow the length to do both based on summer vs winter…
I would put the drivers on the outside of the tent. I have both of mine on top of the tent.
