Are LED quantum boards worth it? 420 Guide for Growers

What’s a Quantum Board?
Quantum Board Grow Light is a large circuit board that has hundreds of mid-power LEDs mounted to it. The LEDs are connected together in series to form strings, and these strings are then combined in parallel configurations to make them compatible with common high-powered constant current drivers like the HLG 80-H-C, 240H-C, or 320-H-C series.

Benefits of DIY Quantum Boards

Upon looking around the grow light market there actually are some benefits to buying a DIY quantum board grow light kit compared to a pre-assembled quantum board grow light.

The first benefit is the cost is lower. The popular HLG 300 V2 comes with two boards, 578 Samsung LM301B diodes in total. Comparing the cost of that light to a DIY kit containing the same two boards and same LED type, you’d spend about 25-30% less on the DIY kit for the same product.

Quantum Board LED Grow Light are the newest addition to the cannabis grow light lineup (though at this point they’ve been around for years). LED grow lights seem to be the direction that grow lighting is headed in general. Aside from the allure of their newer technology, they are great at growing cannabis and they last a very long time compared to some other marijuana grow lights. In fact, the ones we recommend can last 100,000 hours; that’s over 14 years if you harvested every 3 months!
