HLG Scorpion Diablo Output, Boards and Build
This fixture draws about 650W and is rated at roughly 2,130 µmol/s. Efficacy figures run from 3.0 to 3.2 µmol/J depending on the source and board revision. Light comes from 6 Diablo quantum boards with close to 3,900 diodes. They mix Samsung LM301H white at 3000K and 5000K with LM351H deep red at 660 nm. One reviewer measured a blended color temperature near 3700K and a CRI around 91. An Inventronics driver powers the boards and dims over 0–10V. The frame spans about 38.5 x 36 in and weighs about 31 lb. Cooling is passive through the aluminum heat sinks, so there are no fans. Expect about 2,217 BTU/hr of heat into the room at full power. The fixture carries DLC and ETL listings, and HLG backs it for 5 years.
Why Growers Pick a Six-Board Quantum Board Grow Light
A quantum board grow light with six boards spreads its output wider than a four-board design of the same wattage. The result is more even light corner to corner and fewer hot spots in the middle. Flower coverage is about 5 x 5 ft with the light 18 to 24 inches above the tops. Veg coverage stretches to roughly 6 x 6 ft when the light is raised. In a space smaller than 4x4, or closer than about a foot, full power can burn the tops. Dim it down for seedlings and early veg, then climb toward full output after the stretch. Watch for bleaching on the highest colas as you raise intensity. LED puts less radiant heat on the leaves than HPS, so many growers raise room temperature a few degrees after the switch. Plants often drink less, so check pot weight before each watering. For a 3x3 tent, a smaller HLG fixture fits better.
