Hey dudes and dudettes.
I recently bought two 600w qb kits from HLG it took a bit to ship but then when they were it was three days from shipping which to the great white north is pretty good. So the plan is to replace two 1000w de lights with two 600 w kits . I want to also add that between them because my area is 16 ft long I will be putting som older xgs 190s between them and my cob unit. Hopefully I'll be pulling the same weight with higher quality while using much less power. Was skeptical of the qbs but once I had em wired up and put em on holy Jesus their bright. Impressed to say the least. If I can pull two units per light 6 units per run I will be on the lower end of what I pull with two de thouies and my 600w cob unit. But hoping for 8 tbh. Here are some pics after assembly. Wish the heat sinks were more square to cover a 5x5 but I'm sure maybe in the future they will be looking at that. I have zero invested in the company but liked their kits and it came with everything I needed and that makes it super easy. I am an electrician by trade so maybe a little easier for me then most but I put together both lights in two hours from opening. Super simple. I don't always have time but will try to update as I do have time. Going to run 9 plants in rols 3gals under one light and 5 plants in 2 gals coco under the other So a little mix going on. Strains are bagpipe which is a cross of purple kush and stardawg and my cut of Tahoe og. Both I have pulled 2.5 units under a de so I know what they both do.
