DIY with Quantum Boards

@Stephenj37826 and I have tested prototypes of 90 CRI. We are doing more tests and optimizing the design. Thanks for all your support, it's very encouraging. We will continue researching and bring more innovative, cost effective, high performance lighting solutions.

Stay tuned @NapalmD will be doing a parallel grow with QB288 80 CRI Vs 90 CRI.

@captainmorgan is also helping test/evaluate Quantum Boards with 90 CRI spectrum

I will be waiting anxiously to see the results, and to have the 90cri boards out. Keep up the awesome work! Thank you for providing this service.

Damn ... I would like to TEST some boards ... Lol

I cant even get a T-Shirt ... Wtf ......

Hello!
I noticed that there are 2 versions.. US and EU.. the EU one is just impossible to find! Do you know if the US versions works in EU(230V)?

120V/230 is not applicable . these don't run on AC power and will blow up. You need AC-DC Driver
Both US and EU version of strips use DC voltage. Check Vdc on datasheet

Nice! I think I'll get a couple to replace my T5 I use for seed starting and house plants in my livingroom

How many of these would you reccomend getting to cover a 2x4 spot for seedlings and clones? Two or three 4' strips?

I'm going for 2 for a 2'x4' space. Considering they put out over 3 times the light of a T5, it should be fine.

What driver would you recommend if you wanted it just for seedlings and clones to go into early veg? Was thinking of doing the 6500k to keep internode real tight.

I need connector advise. I really like the connectors on the quantum boards, Anyone know what part number they are or where I can buy sets of them?

Ok thanks, I was just worried about putting to many and it being too powerful for clones and seedling
