    Joining loads of aluminium box

    Honestly I cant say from personal experience. I have seen some of them being hit with a hammer over and over and not breaking. You could always get some small aluminium angle and make a frame and bolt the sheets to it. I had made a frame with 3/4 inch angle and my 3d printer and have no strength...

    Joining loads of aluminium box

    You dont need a vac chamber for welding aluminium. It is not something you can weld easy without experience. I have been a welder for almost 20 years and have done my fair share of it and still have issues with the stuff. with that being said on amazon there are some brazing rods that you just...

    Qb132 diy

    The breaker finally kicked off with only the light running. So I can leave the power supply plugged in with no issues (not connected to the lights) I cant run the light for a full 12 hours. I cant run the light with other things in the room on Maybe the wire I used isnt thick enough? Maybe I...

    I thought it might be one of them also when I first put this light in there so I ran it till it kicked while it was the only thing on. still sitting there just fine after all this time. In that room I have everything running right now. the heater, the dehumidifier and a 100watt hlg led. it is...

    I will give it a shot and let you know. It takes a bit of time for it to kick it off normally an hour or so after its been running

    Ill give it a shot. I soldier connections for the electronics I mess with all the time didnt think it would hurt with shrink wrap around the connection

    Qb132 diy

    Nothing new was added. the breaker is connected to 2 rooms (part of them anyway. ceiling light in one of the rooms and the outlets in another) The dehumidifier is the portable ac that was running with the 600 watt hps not it is set to dehumidify only (it has a few different settings)

    Qb132 diy

    Im not either at this point. it keeps kicking the breaker and I cant figure out why. The wire to the panels is red on both sides its all I had. Here is a pic showing where they are connected and kind of where they run to (the start and end panels)

    Qb132 diy

    The first pic is the wire going into the driver. Each board lights up and they are wired in series. I pulled all wires and rewired it just to make sure I didnt cross something somewhere and have the same results. I did leave the wires long on the back side since I changed the layout of the...

    Qb132 diy

    So I bought a 4 pack of the qb132 boards with an hlg-240h-c1750a driver. Got them wired in series as the hlg website recommends with this driver and I was told I would not need a heat sink but this light keeps kicking my breaker. I put a fan on the top of the frame blowing at the driver and it...

    Looking to Increase Yield!

    It gives actual power draw in the specs for the light on their website. I'm not an expert and have no actual info on what to do better for higher yields sorry. Just wanted to let you know where the actual draw was. Some of that is for fans and the driver of course

    4x4 or a 5x5?

    Do you have enough room for both? If you by the 4x4 eventually you will buy the bigger one. Lol it worked out that way for me and many other people I know

    Qb288 driver help

    Lmao The hlg 100 has its own driver. The 4 qb132 has the hlg-240h-c1750a driver. I want to take the Hlg-240h-c1750a from the 4 qb132 boards and use it on 2 qb288 rspec if i can. I hope that clears it up a bit.
