    That would be a dimmer switch bud,I didn't know they came with dimmers but after reading up it seems that model of meanwell driver comes with them fitted.

    These boards are pulling 220w each at the wall,am I right in thinking that I can turn the little screw under the drivers and turn them up to 240w each or is that a NO NO?

    If an hid is 2 foot above a 4 foot by 4 canopy, only 25% of the light hits the plants directly. With led, I'd guess it's the other way round and ~75% of the light hits the plants directly. That might be one reason for the better results for the same power draw as hid.

    I used to run 2x600hps in my space, covering 7x4ft. Since upgrading to geeklight LEDs, a Geekbeast and a 320 qb style. The LEDs are a total game changer, the yield is better than I've ever had in my 10 years growing. Quality is top draw. I've just yielded almost 16 Oz from three tangilope. I also have 4 more plants in the same space, not harvested yet. I am absolutely blown away by the results. I don't have anything to gain from making things up, I've always been honest with yields and my disasters. Choosing to go geeklight led is for me, the best move I've made
    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.

    Well guys,thanks for the input I am glad that I purchased these boards as the result of my first LED harvest absolutely blew me away.

    I've always been an HPS grower, even tried 2400W over my scrog in a bit 2000x2000 grow space

    Just took the plunge into LED and gone for the HLG 650R and wow what I piece of kit it is plants are loving it.

    Those plants look as hungry as mine, with better lighting, more nutes are being used.

    Don't be fooled by the lighting Karlito1, it's just the sheen from the reds from the LEDs...those girls are very happy and healthy I'd say

    Thats good then, here are a couple of pics of my ladies, they were underfed, I didnt know how much to feed them at first, but now trying to play catchup on the nute feed is hard.
