Question 1

Hello, the HLG Quantum Board 100 Rspec seems very promising. Can you give me more information about its performances and whether it'll be suitable for my living room?

Accepted Answer

Of course, I would be delighted to share with you information about the HLG Quantum Board 100 Rspec. It is indeed a very efficient LED lighting plate, designed to optimize indoor cultivation. It offers an impressive power of 220 µmol / s while consuming only 95W. Comprehensive, it is equivalent to a 200W incandescent system. The secret of its efficiency lies in its use of Samsung LM301H and LM351H Deep Red diodes, which provide a wide light spectrum, ideal for all stages of growth of your plants. This plate is particularly suitable for moderately sized cultivation spaces, like a corner set up in a living room. Its fanless design means it is quiet and won't generate much heat, making it perfect for use in living spaces. Just one point to consider: for optimum yield, we recommend a growing surface of about 60 to 80 cm on a side. I am sure that the HLG Quantum Board 100 Rspec will meet your expectations by combining performance, energy saving and discretion. Don't hesitate if you have other questions!

Question 2

What is the optimal coverage for growing and flowering with this Quantum Board 100 Rspec in a 1m2 space?

Accepted Answer

The Quantum Board 100 Rspec – HLG offers remarkable efficiency with only 95W consumed. For a 1 m² space, here is the optimal coverage: In growth (Veg): the board covers approximately 0.84 m² (3' x 3'). For uniform coverage over 1 m², it is recommended to use 2 boards, ensuring dense and well-distributed light. In flowering (Flower): the recommended surface area per board is 0.37 m² (2' x 2'). Therefore, to effectively cover 1 m², you should count on 3 boards to ensure appropriate and uniform light intensity. In summary, in a 1 m² space, 2 boards for growth and 3 boards for flowering will provide the best light performance.

Question 3

What specific advantages does the Quantum Board 100 Rspec offer compared to another LED source for hydroponics?

Accepted Answer

The Quantum Board 100 Rspec stands out with its remarkable light efficiency: it produces around 220 PPF for only 95 watts consumed, which is equivalent to a much more energy-consuming lamp. Its unique design with low-power LEDs placed in parallel ensures a uniform light distribution, essential for homogeneous hydroponic cultivation without hot spots. Thanks to a passive cooling wide panel, it emits very little heat, limiting thermal stress on plants and the need for noisy ventilation. Finally, its Rspec spectrum provides optimized white light for the vegetative phase, maximizing photosynthesis and crop development in hydroponics. These features make the Quantum Board 100 Rspec an ideal choice for efficient, economical, and high-quality LED cultivation.

Question 4

What is the average lifespan of the Quantum Board 100 Rspec before a significant decrease in brightness or performance?

Accepted Answer

The Quantum Board 100 Rspec from Horticulture Lighting Group has an average lifespan of over 50,000 hours before a noticeable decrease in brightness or performance. This longevity is the result of using high-quality LEDs (Samsung LM301H and LM351H Deep Red) and an optimized design for efficient heat dissipation, ensuring stable light intensity for several years of intensive use.

Question 5

What is the performance of the Quantum Board QB 100 Rspec in terms of light yield and electricity consumption compared to other HLG models?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

The Quantum Board 100 Rspec - HLG consumes precisely 95 watts of electricity, regardless of the growing area. For a 60x60 cm area (approximately 0.36 m²), a single board is ideal and suitable, especially for the flowering phase. This consumption remains constant and perfectly efficient for this size of space.

Question 12

Is the cooling system integrated on the Quantum Board QB 100 Rspec sufficient for continuous operation of 18 hours without overheating?

Accepted Answer

The passive cooling system integrated on the Quantum Board 100 Rspec relies on a highly efficient aluminum heatsink that dissipates heat without a fan. With a power consumption of around 95 watts and high-performance Samsung LM301H LEDs, this board effectively manages the generated heat. For continuous operation of 18 hours, this system is sufficient provided that the board is installed in a well-ventilated area, allowing for good air circulation. Under these conditions, you will not need additional active cooling or fan even during prolonged cycles.

Question 13

Does the Quantum Board 100 Rspec work with a dimmable driver to optimize consumption and heat?

Accepted Answer

The Quantum Board 100 Rspec works with a non-dimmable Mean Well driver included, designed for a fixed power of 95W. It does not support the use of a dimmable driver, which means that it is not possible to reduce consumption or heat via an intensity adjustment. This design ensures stable and efficient performance without power adjustment.

Question 14

What light output and spectrum does the Quantum Board 100 Rspec offer for micro-cultivation in restricted space?

Accepted Answer

The Quantum Board 100 Rspec consumes about 95 Watts and delivers a light output of about 220 PPF, which is over 14,000 lumens, equivalent to a traditional lamp of 200 to 300W. Its spectrum is a full spectrum combined with Deep Red LEDs specifically designed to optimize growth and flowering, providing excellent light penetration even in micro cultivation. This compact panel (approximately 33 x 28 x 6 cm, 1.36 kg) is ideal for confined spaces, covering about 60 x 60 cm in flowering and 90 x 90 cm in vegetative. Its light efficiency and silent passive cooling make it a perfect choice for indoor micro cultivation.

Question 15

What is the average lifespan of the Quantum Board 100 Rspec and its noise level during operation?

Accepted Answer

The Quantum Board QB 100 Rspec is perfectly suited for a beginner kit. It comes with a ready-to-plug-in Mean Well power supply, which greatly simplifies installation, even without experience. Its passive fanless design is reliable and requires little maintenance, a real plus for a novice. With an electrical consumption of only 95W, it remains very efficient for a small box of about 60 x 60 cm (2' x 2'). Its light output (220 µmol/s) corresponds to traditional lamps that consume much more energy, while effectively controlling heat, a crucial factor in a confined space. In summary, this LED panel offers an excellent compromise between ease of use, controlled consumption, and light quality to support the growth and flowering of your indoor plants with confidence.

Question 17

Is it possible to adjust the light intensity of the Quantum Board 100 Rspec to optimize growth according to the growth phases?

Accepted Answer

The Quantum Board 100 Rspec from HLG works with a non-dimmable power supply, which means its light intensity is fixed at 95 W and cannot be adjusted. Therefore, it is not possible to adjust the light for the different growth phases with this model.If you want precise control over the light intensity to optimize your crops, you will need to choose a system or lamp with a dimmable power supply.

Question 18

Is integration possible with a voice assistant for total control of the Quantum Board 100 Rspec?

Accepted Answer

The Quantum Board 100 Rspec - HLG does not offer native control via voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant. For total voice control, external compatible home automation solutions must be used, which allow for the integration of this type of lighting into an existing smart installation.
