Question about noise from QBs

Discussion in 'Lighting' started by DimaEVT, Oct 22, 2018.

  1. I'm considering pulling the trigger on a HLG 550 V2, and i am curious about how loud it is.

    I'm using 4x Viparspectra 300 LEDs and they I consider them to be pretty quiet. How loud is the HLG 550 in comparison?

  2. The light itself is silent; but what about exhaust and circulation fans?

    Unless your growing clones in a big old room; you need fans.
     
  3. First, don’t get the 550. Get the 600 if going for a prebuilt light. More wattage, less cost, better spread.

    Second, they’re quiet as a mouse, but like mentioned above, you will need to exhaust

  4. Why is the qb500 More then the qb600 cost wise

  5. Its UL tested and approved. That cost $$$.
     
  6. Thanks for the info man. I'll def check out the 600.

    Also I have an exhaust fan set up. Just wondering if the QB will add to the noise. I guess not.

  8. Awesome, thanks man. I'm about to pull the trigger on the HLG600 on growerslights.com. They offer to pre assemble and test it, but on HLGs website you have to assemble yourself

  9. I was just gonna link that exact site to you. Best price I’ve seen. You can save even more with diy low wattage boards like these but nobody has them in stock
     
  10. Just copped the 600.

    My wallet just took a $750 kick in the balls.

    Do you think this will improve my yields? I'm on day 24 of flower

  11. My first harvest under qbs was 605 grams from 2 plants dry. That can only get better

  12. Thanks a bunch for the suggestion man.

    The QB may arrive in a couple weeks, and I'm on day 25 of flower -- I have about 40 days left until harvest. Do you think it will increase my yields if I put the QB in at day 40 or so of flower? Assuming thats when the light arrives
     
  13. I just got word that it'll take them 7-9 business days to assemble the light. So yeah it'll be here in ~2 weeks. Oh well, time to wait
