New 2'x4' grow light build

Well however we try and explain that driver can only make that much power. Now we can go up in power current but the driver is still 480 watts.

At the very bottom of the picture there different options but your pretty much stuck with that much power.

Yes I did that poorly, what I meant was the LED driver has to make enough power for the combined boards, but the boards and number of diodes determine light output. A 480w driver would never power a 1000 watt diode board or strips all tied together.

Exactly. Usually i run 2x 480 watts you get Thats enough power trust me. But i have to say i love the 3x Qb288 boards on one heat sink. Now i run 6 of those boards on 2 heat sinks and i hooked it all together as one big light. And i have to say it grows some Really nice Buds.
