Phytolite CMH 315W 3K enhanced

Specific for indoor growing, this lamp is the result of the latest HID production technology.

• Compared to other lamps of the same kind on the market, this bulb offers greater UV emissions thus promoting a greater production of resin during flowering.
• A higher peak of “Far red” radiation to stimulate the metabolic activity in blooming phase
• A greater amount of total “RED” radiation than many competing products
• By using a particular coating on the arc, a slight increase in PAR emissions has been obtained compared to most similar products and this translates into an increase in production density

CMH Lighting Systems

Ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamps work better with Square Wave Technology ballasts. Higher emissions and longer life with less decay of emission in time. This bulbs usually came with a optimal blend of gasses in ceramic arc tubes, producing a full-spectrum white light with a color-rendering index (CRI) between 90-93 (sunlight has a CRI of 100 and an HPS lamp is about a 26).

CMH lamps are generally 315 watts. The lamps are available in a full-spectrum, 3200 K version and in a high-blue spectrum, 4200 K version that is better for vegetative plants. A 315W CMH can easily replace a regular HPS 400W offering same or higher emissions and longer life. If used with a Square Wave electronic ballast a 315W CMH can emit even more PAR than an HPS, offering an interesting Price/emission/energy use balance. The lamps offer also longer life with two-year, 20,000-hour replacement recommendation. CMHs produce more light per watt than single-ended HID lamps.

Replacement of your older single-ended HID light systems, will lower your electrical bill and the overall heat-load in your garden while maintaining the same light intensity at the plant canopy.
