Product detailed description
Lumatek CMH 630 W lamp 3,100 K with a sun-like spectrum
The Lumatek CMH 630 W DE lamp is a double-ended ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamp with a colour temperature of 3,100 K and a full spectrum close to sunlight. It is suitable for the flowering phase and the entire cycle and is intended exclusively for fittings with a CMH/LEC ballast.
Specifications
- Power: 630 W
- Type: CMH (ceramic metal halide), pulse-start
- Design: double-ended (Double Ended, DE)
- Colour temperature: 3,100 K (full spectrum)
- Power supply: 240 V / 50 Hz via a CMH/LEC ballast
- Compatibility: CMH/LEC ballasts only (not a standard HPS/MH ballast)
Compatibility
Compatible:
- CMH/LEC ballast for 630 W double-ended (DE) lamps
- Double-ended (DE) reflector, for example Lumatek Tekken Pro Hammertone DE
Not compatible:
- Standard HPS or MH ballast – CMH requires a CMH/LEC ballast
- Single-ended (E40) reflector – the lamp is double-ended (DE)
Why CMH instead of standard MH
The ceramic CMH discharge tube provides a wider and fuller colour spectrum than a standard metal halide lamp, including useful UV and far-red components. Plants therefore receive light close to sunlight, which supports strong growth and flowering quality. The 3,100 K colour temperature, with an emphasis on warm tones, is particularly suitable for the flowering phase.
Installation and safety
The lamp is double-ended (Double Ended) and is intended exclusively for fittings and ballasts designed for CMH/LEC. Do not operate it with a standard HPS or MH ballast; it must be operated exclusively with a CMH/LEC ballast and installed in a double-ended reflector, for example Lumatek Tekken Pro Hammertone DE.
Frequently asked questions
Which ballast should I connect the lamp to?
The Lumatek CMH 630 W DE lamp is intended exclusively for fittings and ballasts designed for CMH/LEC technology. It cannot be operated with a standard HPS or MH ballast; it must be operated exclusively with a CMH/LEC ballast. Before purchasing, therefore check that you have a CMH/LEC ballast for 630 W double-ended lamps.
Which phase is 3,100 K suitable for?
The 3,100 K colour temperature provides warmer, red-rich light with a full spectrum, which is particularly suitable for the flowering phase. Thanks to its broad spectrum close to sunlight, however, the lamp can also handle the entire cycle if you do not want to change the light source during cultivation.
How does CMH differ from a standard MH lamp?
CMH has a ceramic discharge tube instead of a quartz one, providing a wider and fuller colour spectrum closer to sunlight, including useful UV and far-red light. Compared with a standard metal halide lamp, it therefore offers higher-quality light for growth and flowering. It is an advanced type of MH technology.
