Mine is the same but a 150w edition that Figolite stoped selling to only sell 120w QB ( 120 / 240 / 480 ) , it as a 3500k + UV +IR and it's working perfecly , you can check my actual Grapfruit Diary and see what kind of result you can have with that QB , the diary calles what's up spinnnn ? is showing many pictures aff that grapfruit . I also did a successfull grow under it with a berry ryder , the only thing I've noticed is that the plants reamins short and super tight , the distance from the light is helping fo the stretch but when the QB does not moving then the plants are getting stock and bushy. I am about to buy a second one but maybe a 3000k this time , to promote the vertical growth Ps : mine is a made with l301b , the l301h are a bit less cheap and the h is for Horticultural so they are specific to growing. That said the actual Mars hydro devices which are doing great are not even made with sasmsung L301b but with cheap epistar led and they are still pretty efficient but less than a smsung l301b , so take time to compare

When buying quantum boards I would lean towards something with Ir and if at all possible uv as well. Also the 301b is older/inferior to the 301h. The 301h is slightly more efficient with slightly more intensity. This makes the quantum board a bit more expensive but if you are looking for greater possible yields.
