Why Are So Many People in Favor of Quantum Board Grow Light? Quantum boards are pieces of boards that are lined with LED chips. The chips are spread all over the boards. This way that they get their power supply simultaneously from the same source. Benefits of Quantum Board LED Grow Lights
Quantum Boards LED grow lights are the favorite of many people among all the types of grow lights available. That’s because of the many benefits that they bring along. We have sampled some of the most significant ones below. Simple Heat Management Heat management has always been a concern with many grow lights. Some grow lights emit a lot of heat and end up causing leaf burn. Even Light Distribution Quantum boards help to spread light over the grow room evenly. High Efficiency Quantum boards are highly effective as compared to the other types of LED lights. At a power draw of 50 watts, a quantum board will be delivering over 180 lumens for every watt. PocketFriendly As compared to the other types of LED grow lights, quantum boards are easier to make and are hence cheaper. Quantum boards more efficient than HID grow light, so you’ll pay less to use them. You can DIY your own quantum board grow light (s) for pennies compared to what most other LED grow lights cost. Easier to keep your grow space cooler (temps).Better canopy penetration and spread than just about any other LED grow light. You get a bad ass Horticulture Lighting Group sticker with every order.You’ll have the most cool points out of all your friends. What are the Advantages Over COBs?
Here’s the question most skeptics are asking — why should I go QB over COBs? Well, you can sort of think of each of these boards as one giant COB. A typical COB has hundreds of individual diodes mounted to its little board, packed very tightly together. There are hundreds of diodes in these QBs as well, but they’re spread much further apart. The principal of harnessing the power of several small lights to produce one powerful source of light is the same, but the QBs just do it on a larger scale. More uniform spread of light. Compared to a COB that blasts all of its light from a surface 1″ in diameter, these boards are producing even light over the span of a foot. Greater efficiency. At 50 watts, these boards are getting 180 lumens per watt. Highly efficient COBs like the Cree CXB3590 average 160–170 lumens per watt at 50W. Quantum Boards Cost-to-Coverage Area is the same or less compared to COB LED grow lights.
