I think this is the same thing. Just $20 cheaper.

Then all you need is a driver.

I'm pretty sure you could find a non-HLG driver for cheaper that would do the job.

I think the only thing different about those two boards, I think, is the mounting hardware..hanger..is not included in the cheaper one. A mere $20 difference. I imagine you can find one much cheaper. And HLG also offers a non-switchable Meanwell driver a couple bucks cheaper I think. Does anyone really need one on a 100W unit?

I think the extra 20 is for a heat sink.

Twice the diodes as HLG, yet the same wattage. Sounds good, but is it?
Price is better. If they’re good.

Ahh. I thought the heat sink WAS the board on those. I have an HLG 100. The board is metal and gets warm. The only parts are the board with the chips on it, the driver that generates the warmth, and the hanger. I'm curious whether the driver could be made digital, much like HPS ballasts. and become heat free. The bane of growing....My tent got hot last night.

Clever advertising is really becoming confusing.

I have finned heatsinks on my HLG’s. I think they can be ordered both ways.
