I see the 304 QB's are can be powered up to 150w.
So, I can put 3 of those together for a total of 450w?
Can 3 of these be powered by 1 driver?

Also, is it bad to power them at full power like that? Or are they like cobs where it's more efficient at 50% powered?

150W is already pretty soft, but like other LED the softer you run them the more efficient they get.

Why can 1 QB be powered up to 150w but the 320w kit that comes with 3 boards can only be powered up to 320w?

Is it because the driver isn't strong enough?

Wiring up my 2 304QBs to a 320h-1400b today and just wanting to know how to wire the potentiometer in? I am having a really difficult time understanding what potentiometer to buy and how to wire it in? I have read about it but man it is just not clicking.

Is it possible to add in another QB on the 260w XL kit?
That kit only has 2 boards on a slate that can hold 3.
If it IS possible, will the driver be able to handle another board or how will that work?

It goes on the dimming leads, polarity isn't an issue.
