  1. Running 6 on two 320h-54a's is probably the best setup for a 4x4 IMO. 4 is a little short on diodes compared to what I have been running with 4 304 boards.

    Well even better then, just need to plan the spread before I assemble then, once we get some results, I will post up on some thoughts for you chaps
     
  3. I would stay about 8-12" from the outside of the tent. Basically a 3x3 outside diameter of the boards in a 4x4 or 4x4 od of fixture if you're going for a 5x5.

  4. 28”x28” frame would be better in a 4x4. The spread seems to be about 24” on center between the two boards and 10-11” on center from walls/perimeter.

  5. You mean you don’t want to run them each at 360 watts?

    I cranked it past 360 and the driver started buzzing and thr light went disco on me, flashing so fast i thought i’d start convulsing...lol

  6. I think if you want to actually spend some money on a perfect bloom setup in a 4x4 you can sit on to produce for a while 6 qb96 elites on two 320h-54a drivers dimmed would be the cat's meow. The exact same setup would probably fill a 5x5.
     
  7. I think that’s what they were originally made for...

  8. For 4x4 w 4 lights, my bet is 8-9” from 2 walls on corners, 22-24” from other lights on the other 2 sides.

  10. Well I cut the frame 31" OD of lights to give 12" to wall (tent is 4ft 6") before I found out about testing... can always buy some more angle if necessary

  11. If these things pan out im.going to buy 12 or 10 and fill my 4×8... throw 8 pucks in there and 2 4ft uv lights maybe a little co2.. i think that would be a great set up

    Here is single 96 at 24”:

    72A5E4FA-DB15-47DC-A76C-4AAA49BF10AD.jpeg

    Because this height covers veg ppfd, anything higher (except for another inch or so for 360w)wont mean much, so i wont be doing a set of 36” ht tables.

    On to mapping two 96s...

  13. Hey @Ibn Vapin can you post a pic of your driver, the side with the words?

    Wanna see if i can help you get right height/dimmer setting...

    Do you have a multimeter?
     
  14. Question, the pucks. Can they simply be hung at tent top. Do they need direct to plant or can they hang above other lights?

  15. The far red has to get to plants. If it will from there, should be good.

  16. How do you remove the wire from the QB96 connector? push in the little thing on the top with a paperclip or just pull it?

  18. Try push and pull
    I wondered the same thing
    So I got a double terminal block 18ga and that connection with a short piece of solid wire then come off the block with stranded w/ease
