DIY with Quantum Boards

I never can understand why a new member would start like this.
Because this
That is like calling someone out for buying a house. Of course you can buy all of the parts cheaper and build it yourself for a looooot less than what you would pay for a built one. To further the point I am pretty sure the framers who built the house didn't chop down the tree and plane the tree into studs to use on the house, so they are not legit? No, they used what was available sourced it at the best rate for the quality and market it as such and stand behind the product. I am not sucking anyone off, consumerism is very much a thing and I don't have the time to build a house so I will pay the premium to have an already built one.

And what I am absolutely positive about is that you have never thought of designing these fixtures until you stumbled your arrogant ass in here thinking that you were revealing something we didn't already know.
Are we done yet? This is not nearly as complex as building a house. HLG isn't piecing together a fucking nuclear warhead haha. Please..sit down already ill leave this thread...ive built my own COB from kingbrite with some pieces of aluminium i had laying around for my first grow. Not trynna jerk myself off, just saying...these strips are not much more difficult. Keep telling yourself its like building a house, pen pusher. Lol

Dude, get a cat or a dog. You'll get plenty of attention from them. If you're going to built something and share, coming here to shit on others is not the way to go.

Your embarrassing yourself mate, get over it, be productive and smoke a joint. That should help.

Enjoy your day

Aren't COB's still relatively new? And...aren't they still relatively expensive? And...don't they run hot and are subject to burning out? Give it 2 more years?

HAHGAHA! Have fun soldering 304 chips to a board, Doesn't always pay to be a cheapskate I've got better things do do with my time than stupid crap like that


Im going to build my own with lm561c s6 diodes for a looooooot cheaper. Silly HLG. You still makin them build their own after you sell it to them? Lol. Just go buy some lm561c and DIY that instead of DIY a quantum board. Ha. ...saaaame thing minus the HLG stickers you get.

Guess that depends how you define new my first cob rig is several years old and there were people building cob rigs years before me. they will only burn out if you don't know what your doing.

And what warranty/customer service do you get from those Alibaba vendors? You know, the ones that want to talk you though doing your own repairs, or just ignore you completely? Will they have a replacement board to you door in 2 days from the time you report the problem? Do you KNOW for a facvt what chips your getting? You go for it, I'll pay a little extra to deal with a vendor in my own country thank you

This isn't a thread for trolls like you, go find someplace that cares about your bullshit

Not that long when you go to the same factory that HLG goes to through alibaba com lmfao. Act like hlg does anything of their own. They are just a middleman for you idiots who dont know this. Its an american company sellin chinese drivers and korean diodes and gets a chinese factory to assemble it all....

Your dumb af to think that one person solders these chips to the board. Lol

Check out the led gardener build that pushes out 1000 ppfd in the middle with lm561c strips. Yeah strips..no one stands there holding diodes, soldering each one, tard.

Wait your whole argument is for strips? It isn't really cheaper to go that route.

Theres strips and there's going to alibaba and saying hey, dude, make me a quantum board with these diodes and your flood solder machines. Or even finding the premade lm561c on PCB on alibaba. (Same as QB) Which there are plenty...


Alibaba quoted me $5 a strip for lm561c...cheap af...that was the 4ft iirc.

Strips are not that much cheaper if you go to digikey or arrow.

Have you read the thread where a guy ordered from one of those and didn't get the correct diodes?

It' not us who are dumb as fuck. It's YOU!
You clearly wrote your going to "build" your light. You didn't write your buying a pre made board off Alibaba. Before you keep hurling more stupid statements try re reading what you write.
