Compatibility

Compatible:

• Ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamps 315 W, for example Agro 3100K

Incompatible:

• Classic HPS and MH lamps - they have different ignition requirements and need their own ballast

Why a CMH ballast

CMH lamps have different ignition and operating requirements than classic HPS or MH, so they need their own CMH ballast. This model operates quietly, without moving parts, and is intended for the grower who wants a simple and reliable solution without the need to connect to an external controller. The protection set (overheating, open circuit, short circuit, under-voltage and over-voltage) protects both the lamp and the ballast.

Frequently asked questions

For which lamps is the ballast intended?
The Lumatek Digital Ballast 315W CMH is intended for 315W ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamps, for example the Agro type (3100K) with CRI above 90%. It is not intended for classic HPS or MH lamps, which have different operating requirements.

Can the output be adjusted?
No. This ballast is non-dimmable (NON-controllable) and works independently (standalone) without connection to a controller. It will be appreciated by the grower who wants simple and reliable CMH lighting without additional control electronics. It includes protections against overheating, short circuit, open circuit, under-voltage and over-voltage.

How does CMH differ from HPS and MH?
CMH (ceramic metal halide lamp) provides a full spectrum close to natural sunlight, so it covers both growth and flowering with one lamp. HPS leans towards flowering with warmer light, MH provides bluer light for vegetative growth; CMH combines both areas.
