HLG 100

[Zeez]

The Saber 100 is a 100 watt light. Of the options listed, the HLG-100H-36A is the only 100 watt driver. The other options are less watts.

Now looking at two quads or the options of four doubles (260watt) for the flower room.

I think Timber is still doing QBs if you contact them. Separate panels.
Their drivers are already set up with professionally attached cords. Makes it it all a little cleaner.

Has anyone tried the 135?

I actually plan on buying the R-Spec 135 tomorrow Org. I own one of the 65w fixtures, and Im very pleased with it. Plan on redoing the entire garden with HLG fixtures, but dipping my feet in slowly.

Nice, what's the veg footprint on the 65s?

Its 2x2. But the output at the corners of two feet is quite low. You'll want multiple boards to provide overlapping. Im gonna put two of the 135w V2 Rspecs into a 4x4 foot tent soon, and Im hoping Ill get enough overlap to cover the space well.


Btw, that 135 puts out a lot of light. An inch or two away from your plants and you'll be blasting them with 4k+ umols/sec/m2. Ill be starting at about a foot away for my plants.

I think you might want a couple more of the 135s in a 4x4, the 550 uses 4 qbs and 480+w for that footprint. I use 2 320xl v2 Rspecs in my 4x4 and they are amazing. They have 3qbs each and run at 320w. They weren't cheap (~ $860), but they have already paid for themselves 3-4x in the ~3 1/2 months I've had them. Well worth the investment, especially if you have heat issues and hate electric bills.

Thanks for the tips on the lights. Ill definitely grab a couple more of them. You're garden looks great under the HLG.



I do have issues with both heat and electric bills. Will be nice to see how much my bill drops once I complete the switch over. Ill likely be dimming the fixtures as well. I haven't seen an electric bill under $250 in a very long time. It'll be a miracle if I can get below $200.



Already running my ac less now as well. Love these QBs!

The temp drop was dramatic, but I replaced a 600w lumatek that when cranked all the way, sadly, was about the same electricity wise. I do get much higher quality in density and trich production for sure. The coverage especially in the corners is much more even.
I had the 600 hanging vertically, so the corners were pretty lacking at 2 feet away. Truth be told, I did yield a little better with the 600, but it was a monocrop and went almost perfectly. The first one I did with the 320s was a seed crop plagued by botritis. So, not really comparable. I still believe the L.E.Ds are capable of much more once dialed in. Knock it out of the park, buddy!
