Hey! So my kit just arrived and i've got 3 boards to wire up to the one driver... I'm good with the ac side, already got fitting on and plug connected, check! So from the driver, to clips, red to positive on board number one, black to neg on board number 2, now does it matter which way the current flows thru the third board or does it just have to complete the circuit? A pic or diagram, if handy could help! Cheers guys!
Sorry shoulda given more info heres what i got... Includes 3x QB288 V2 Boards made by Samsung with 301B LED 1x Slate 2 Triple Predrilled 891mm Heatsink Meanwell HLG-320H LED Driver. 93.5% Driver Efficiency. Boards should be wired in series with the driver for maximum output 6FT Nema 5-15P 16/3 SJTW NA Power Cord or equivalent for standard 120VAC with cable connector 2ft solid core Wire, 2x Wago Connectors for DC wiring Hanger Clips
That’s a constant current driver so you’ll wire in series. The brown wire from driver is the hot wire (red), the blue wire is neutral (white), and the grn/ylw wire is ground Take the hot lead from brown wire on output side of driver and insert into + of first board, then take a wire from the - lead on same board to + lead on next board, repeat for third board, and take a white wire from - of last board to the blue wire on output side of driver
Haha! Too late! It was priceless i'm sure! I love the nice even light spread. Plus, its a little warm which is good, little extra heat during the day and my oil heater wont have to run during the day. Only at night to hold the temp at 70.
Thanks again for all your help and guidance with this and my grows. I really appreciate all you guys with experience helping us newbies!
quick question.... I'm looking to take the most advantage of the extra heat coming off the heat sink and light. Is it OK to have a fan blowing over the top of it to help circulate the heat? I'm assuming it is as it will help to cool it, albeit slightly. i just want to make sure i'm not gonna fuck it up.
That’s what a lot of guys do, and it will extend its life Soil2Coco’s Rootbound Multifeed 3 strain SOG Mars Hydro Pro II 160 light review and Soil2Coco’s first Auto grow Soil2Coco’s Indoor Multi Strain Journal
Awesome! if one is good, 2 must be better. I have 2 small 6" fans in there, may as well have one fan on each side I did notice that in the just under an hour that it was on before lights out that the extra heat from the light helped to bring my humidity down 10% from 65 to 55, same as outside room. that was a happy benefit! thanks again! cheers
