I've got my own rules for deleting, haha.
Basically, a double post; Spam; Personal info.
Six 288 boards in there is what I would go with and max 600w.
I'd also go with 3500-4000k if you want to veg and flower.

If I deleted that I would be labeled a shill. Even though I might be a little...js.

I just noticed they have this bad boy. Pretty nice.
I will get a light for the 32 special that currently has a board that will move to bloom.
I might wait for this to become availlble. I bet it would crush that 32 x 32 tent.
I think the far reds are making my buds frost up like the CMH did.
And 270 watts (the current board) is a pinch too hot...225 would nail it

Thats just a qb96 with a fancy plate to hold up the driver and heatsink. They recommend a 185w-54v I dont see qhere they get 225w out of that boardI just noticed they have this bad boy. Pretty nice.

You can push a board until it blows. They are just cooling the piss out of it with that heatsink.

Heat is a diode's enemy, so yes.

I've been looking to do something for my veg room tent. It's a 4 x 4. I really like the Bspec but am considering going with four 4k boards, two triple heat sinks and 2 drivers. This way the boards will be more evenly spaced out than the 550 Bspec.
What do you think BP? Veg only, no flowering. I currently use a Hortilux 600 watt Blue. I would like to lower my watt usage a tad but still keep the nodes close.

I was going to recommend going with HLG 288v1 in 5000k for veg, but it appears the board/heatsink combos are sold out...too bad, they were $49 each. That 5000k board is a beast for veg, I have 1 in my 2x2 veg tent and it rocks.
The 4000k is a nice veg spectrum as well. I have a qb65 in 4000k and it's great, just a bit small for what I was using it for.

Makes me wonder why their Bspec is only 3500k for a veg light.

My guess would be the added blue. 3000/3500 works just fine for veg, imo. I had been using the same 3000k boards for veg and flower and never had an issue with unwanted veg stretch or anything.

Very nice. But you are right about the 5k boards tho. They would be better for pure vegging. Which is what I want

Personally, I'd be willing to go in on a Bspec board if I was in the market for a veg board. As far as I can tell, HLG knows their stuff and does their homework. If they market a veg board, I'd take their word, regardless of K rating. Take that for what it's worth.

I have the 550 v2, 550 Rspec, and the 100 v2. Amazed at perfomance for the form factor.
I've used both 550s for multiple full-cycle grows and couldn't be happier. Rspec induced more frost throughout flower cycle.
Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new light with killer lumen output without all the heat.
