I'd gauge how many watts you want to pull. Set it. Probably around 22 inches and lower them down as if your plants are happy. 18-20 seems to be the spot for alot of people. You can get all the way to around 12 if your plants are still happy. Some go lower with alot of dimmed boards.

I blew out a massive monster power bar the other day. This one...
Had everything unplugged and rewired around then then realized there was a reset button on the side... Was also researching the warranty haha! Lifetime though

I run lights with 3 X QB288 Rpsec with 2 of these lights in a 4X4 dimmed to 90% and keep mine at about 16 inches maybe a bit less. Mine love it at that height.
. Moved the girls around to fit the space better and spread the big girls wide open like butt cheeks

Those qb 120's wood be almost the same as u have with them qb132s. They have 12 less diodes per board than 132's. If u buy the lrs-350-24 driver u can run them at max of 70w per board = 280 watts. Ud just havta turn driver down being its a 350 watt driver but it wood work.
It wood need wired just like u did with ur 132's. Ud get a good even coverage of canopy with 4 boards a pac like the 132's.
My suggestion is 2 pacs of qb120's & 2 lrs-350-24 drivers. Ive even seen people use 12 qb120's and 3 lrs-350-24's on a square frame for a 5x5. Also i suggest it cause it wood be very similar to what u just did with ur last build. Good luck buddy on whatever u chose to go with..

Burning them will be alot worse then then getting a little less light. I'd go 16 to be safe. The lrs pushes them to how many watts a piece ?

I did like 16-18 in for veg running at max
10-12 in for flower running at max.
Couple of the tops grew close to lights and had zero bleaching or foxtailing.
That just my info to try n help.
I’m not sure??
Awesome info I want to make sure the par reading is high all the way around so I can produce weight thank u for the feedback learning more and moreThose qb 120's wood be almost the same as u have with them qb132s.

75w each if u wanna push em to max. I ran mine at max from first day i got em when i did have them. Ran em like that for 6 months no issues at all. But like you u said b4 id def have a fan blowing on boards. If i member right my boards usually was around 100-110 degrees with fan on em at max of 75 watts each.
My only issue i had with my quantums, was the jackoff fuckn po po taking them from me...
How old are they? How long are they supposed to last for? I might be interested I gotta weigh out all my options. O want a light that will push out maximum weight for a 4x4 5x5 ish area
I guess I could always add them to my build and add lights around other lights. I’m going to try and find a par reading online
