I use my arms to lift it up and hang it on a standard tent bar with standard rope ratchets. Itz amazing what human arms can lift...all sorts of things. (Shrug)

Touche'...
Was born from my inability to navigate alibaba heh. Here is the price sheet for all my materials. In retrospect a similar build with the atreum v2s would have only been a couple bucks more. I have a couple hlg 304s that I have no complaints about so I wasn’t particularly concerned. This fixture will light half of a 3x8 Scrog I’m planning.

Has anyone cut one of the heat sinks before? I have a triple and double heat sink and would like to turn the triple into a double. And recommended ways of cutting it?

I would say so far I am pretty pleased with my HLG 320xl v2 Rspec. That light I have in a 2x4x7. One thing I’ve noticed with it is it turns your plants into straight calmag pigs. People tell me I’m crazy but I wish I had more light in that tent and am thinking about running an HLG red supplement bar light on each side of my 320 or a 100w saber on each side to bring the total up to 540. Heres some of my Als Exotic Driver at 41 days flower. Should be done Jan 1st.

Use an older blade on a chop saw with some WD 40 to lube cut. Proper eye protection of coarse. I was contemplating cutting a double when HLG sent me a double heatsink instead of 2 singles. I found a different solution in the QB96e's

THe 320 RSPEC with 3 boards and 320 watt driver should have more than enough wattage for a 4x2. That would be more than 40 watts per sq ft. The RSPEC has deep reds ( 660 nm ). Apparently the reds (630 nm ) are not as efficient/. I am pretty sure Stephen from HLG mentioned this on the GML show. Money best spent on a UV strip.

Few more
Ive been looking into UV as well. I like to push the limits. That girl right there has well over 50 tops.

I am waiting just a little longer for UV. I like the tubes UVB but I wonder if that spectrum will wear on other various things inside a tent. THe UVA strips look good to fit in well, but how good do they work on enhancment of terps repell bugs etc ( no apparent gain in resin... ). I will wait on the reports a little longer.
