Need help with this light assembly!

Hey anyone who’s assembled one of these kits.This is an HLG 260 XL and I only got two quantum boards? Shouldn’t there be 3 of them,ir do I put one on each end? Something doesn’t make sense ?@dbrn32?

There are no plastic spacers with it and the holes are predrilled for a quantum board.The light you posted isn’t the same one unless I’m mistaken.Why would the heatsink be 36 inches long for only 2 boards.I have 2 HLG 260’s and they are double boards on a 24 inch sink.The instructions show them right next to each other,which would leave 12 inches of blank space.Doesn’t make sense?

It’s actually the 360 XL. Should be 3 boards.

@Weedlover1 Put one board on each end of the heat sink. I have two 260 XL’s They will produce some solid buds.
Good luck :v:

Thanks man,Im waiting to hear from customer service, I would really like to have 3 boards on it If not I might have to buy another board for it or do like you said.Just seems like a waste of space,but it might be cooler? Thanks again!

The driver is sized for a 3 board load and your forward voltage may be too high which would damage your two boards. DO NOT INSTALL until you have talked to HLG.

Looks like a 260 xl kit to to me. This kit comes with 3 board heatsink to increase spacing on the boards makiit ideal for 2x4 canopy. Should be spaced like Stonecold showed above.

Which driver was included? The 3 board kit was qb 320.
