I currently have a meanwell hlg 240-h c2100a and I’m wanting to know where to purchase just a board.
also I’d love to hear suggestions on which board to run. I’m thinking a 3000k 260watt, but I just am getting started on boards. I’ve seen some really great results.
thanks in advance for any info

Just make sure you're buying 54V boards if you want to use 2 in series. otherwise you could run 2 100V boards in parallel without much loss in efficiency.

The Quantum Boards you linked to will run in series off that driver. You can also run our boards in series off the same driver. You won't need heatsinks at that wattage with our boards, as they are physically bigger with 1.5x the number of LEDs. They do cover a bigger area, and there are a few other differences, which I've mentioned in my other reply to you, but it may come down to space and price, as we ship from Australia which adds to the cost. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I'm not about to rip on Cutter, but HLG and others offer free shipping in the US, which no Aussie company can compete with. Last time I looked, our shipping method was actually cheaper, but I believe Cutter uses DHL and we use AusPost. If they use AusPost, then it's the same.

Thanks for all the good info guys. This is why I love this site. Never been let down yet.
I turned to Facebook growers groups for a little bit, and I left about as quick as I came in. TONS of misinformation, and ppl just being savages to one another. Laughing at comments and just a lot of stupid shit. Here it’s more community, and I appreciate that.
keep on keeping on man
