QB304 Board Guide
Designed by 
High efficiency boards designed for Horticulture Lighting projects. Boards can be powered from 10 to 150 watts. Ideal for use in grow tents or grow area with reflective walls and grow spaces with limited height. No Thermal Interface Material is required between the QB304 board and flat metal heatsink.

- Allow tolerance of an additional 2V while matching drivers.
- Please use this as a reference only.
May require an Aluminum plate or heatsink if running 50+ watts. Heastink requirements depends on application and power.
The notes below are provided as a designs ideas and are not instructions to assemble a lamp. Do not touch live boards as they run on high voltage and may have exposed solder contacts that can cause serious shock. This is not a safety guide.
While using multiple boards, series wiring is preferable to avoid thermal runaway if a board gets disconnected.
Popular Drivers
- HLG-240H-C1050 for 2x QB304 in series
- HLG-120H-C1050 for 1x QB304
Driver Notes (Single and Multiple Parallel Boards)
Non Dimmable
- APC-35-350, GSC40B-350 for 35 watts with 1 board
- LPC-100-700
- LPC-150-1400 (180~305VAC only)
Dimmable
- HLG-80H-C700 with 1 or 2 boards for 90 Watts
- HLG-120H-C1050 with 1 or 2 boards for 110 Watts
- HLG-120H-C1400 with 2 or 3 or 4 boards for 150 Watts
- HLG-185H-C1400 with 2 or 3 or 4 boards for 170 Watts. HLG-185H-C1400 is better for 2 boards than the HLG-120H-C1400
- HLG-240H-C2100 with 2 or 3 or 4 boards for 250 Watts
- HLG-320H-C2800 with 2 or 3 or 4 boards for 320 Watts
- Also compatible with ELG-75-C700, ELG-150-C1400, ELG-240-C2100, ELG-200-C1750
Parallel Wiring
Multiple Boards can be wired in parallel. Different batches of boards may have slightly different voltages. Use only boards from same batch for parallel connection. Do not use different spectrum boards in parallel as they may have slightly different voltages
Driver Notes ( 2 Boards Series)
Non Dimmable
- LPC-100-350
- LPC-150-700(180~305VAC only)
Dimmable
- HLG-120H-C700
- HLG-185H-C700
- HLG-240H-C1050
- Also compatible with ELG-75-C350, ELG-150-C700, ELG-240-C1050, ELG-200-C1750
Series Wiring
Maximum 2 Boards can be wired in series. More than 2 boards in series will exceed the recommended maximum voltage of the board connectors and is not recommended.
NOTE: Boards purchased in multiple orders may be from different batches may have different voltages and may not work share equal current if connected in parallel. Use them in series to avoid some boards pulling more current than others.
Parallel-Series Wiring (Advanced)
It is possible to have partial benefits of parallel and series together using some driver configurations. For example HLG-320H-C2800 can be used to power 4 boards in parallel and an alternate could be HLG-320H-C1400 with 2 parallel string of 2 boards in series.
