Grow Tent and Light Shopping

[H.A.F.]

Not meaning to hijack just had a quick question guys.. I’m trying to put something cheap together for a 2x2 tent.

What is the difference between say the LRS-100-36 and the LRS-100-48? And is it possible to hook a dimmer up to these drivers?

I’m thinking of something along these lines:

QB288 V2 & Slate 2 Single Combo

Ultra High Efficiency LED Boards for DIY. QB288 has 288pcs Samsung LM301H LED

Any help would be appreciated, thanks all!

That looks and is described like the HLG135V2 without the driver. I run them and that is a hell of a deal if you can find the driver cheap. I can check when the lights come on but I think mine are Meanwell 120 something or other. If that is for 2 boards and 2 heatsinks, that rocks!

@Hust17 - I think they might be trying to get out from under those boards in favor of the V-spec, R-spec etc. ? @Big Perm knows a guy that knows a guy.

The 4000k would be for veg and the 3000k for flower.

Ok I will hit up big P maybe. These boards confuse me

 

[Hust17]

I just want like one board and one driver if you know what I mean?

Oh - the Slate 2 is the name of the heatsink. $75 is still a good deal.

 

[Hust17]

I guess I’m looking to put something together similar to the QB100 but with a dimmer and hopefully cheaper

@Hust17 the diff between the LRS-100-36 and LRS-100-48 is the voltage (36 and 48). On HLG's website there is a little data table there for the QB288 that lists the Voltage with the respective output wattage. That range shows 45-49V, which tells me you need the 48V driver.

Okay that’s what I was thinking Thanks very much!

Here is the board/heatsink you showed, with the dimmable driver. HLG135v2.

If it costs $179, that means you would need to find a driver for less than $100 to make it cheaper?

Those LRS drivers are like $23 CANADIAN! But can I dim it?

 

[H.A.F.]

Not sure what drivers cost US - but the kit is easy to put together, pre-drilled, etc. you even get the little hangers

I guess it depends on how many boxes you feel like waiting on

Okay, thank you for your help guys. And thanks Kev, hijack over

Kind of. You can adjust the output voltage of the LRS drivers with a screwdriver.

Grow lights started selling boards assembled and meanwell drivers.

1 CDN dollar is 75 US cents to put it in perspective

Returned my frame. Got aluminum 3/4 by 1/8 by 48

 

[High kev]

Got a couple extra pieces with the saved money Incase I need it for the middle part of the frame

 

[MtRainDog]

What are you using to cut your frame? I'm planning on picking up a blade for my miter saw specifically for cutting metal. Got no time for hacksaw-mainia

 

[High kev]

I think every piece is going to be 4 feet long so I won’t need to cut. Just drill holes for screws. I could of probably saved some money if I got the long pieces and cut them.
