HLG Quantum Board LED Grow Light Review
The quantum board LED is the latest advancement in the LED grow light technology. In fact, as these new lights hit the market, we are seeing some fantastic quantum board led review feedback from users that suggests this might be the next level of LED available.
What is a Quantum Board LED?
A quantum board LED is a newer alternative to the more expensive COB grow lights. The quantum board is a large circuit board in which a string of LEDs are connected forming “intelligent spectrum string” resulting in a broader spectrum and bigger plants. True full spectrum is the result.
We took a look at HLG quantum boards.Their boards require no fans as they run natively cool and the quantum board’s ability to produce a “sunlike” spectrum. Below are two of them we will detail further on in the article.
HLG-550 V2 Rspec Full Spectrum LED Grow Light
HLG550 V2 Rspec Commercial Indoor Horticulture LED grow light is designed to replace a single-ended 1000watt HID. Each HLG-550 V2 uses 4 of our custom designed full-spectrum high efficiency white light quantum boards with Samsung LM301B and Deep Red LED 660nm . Learn more about the individual QB-288 boards . This unit is dimmable, with wattage output from 200 to 480 watts.

Review: Final Verdict
The Horticulture Lighting Group HLG 550 V2 RSpec LED Grow Light and all other HLG panels, use high quality components to give you one of the most efficient grow lights on the market period.
The high quality Samsung and Osram diodes, deliver huge output, while consuming less power and generating less heat. Your costs go way down and your yields go up.
The large fixtures with diodes spread out over the entire surface ensure a more even coverage and deeper penetration, since the light does not lose nearly as much of its intensity by the time it hits the canopy. Again, yields increase, especially around the outside of the coverage area.
The all-white color spectrum is great for all stages of growing and the addition of deep red in the RSpec fixtures gives a huge boost to flowering. This also results in bigger and higher quality yields.
The internet is littered with grow reports using these lights and the results speak for themselves. Growers are getting incredible yields. For that reason, it should come as no surprise that HLG quantum board lights earned a Grow Light Info rating of 4.8 out of 5.
