Lumatek CMH 630W DE Lamp - Double Ended (3100K Full Spectrum)

Product detailed description

Lumatek CMH 630W lamp 3100K with a spectrum close to sunlight

The Lumatek CMH 630W DE lamp is a double ended ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamp with a colour temperature of 3100K and a full spectrum that is close to sunlight. It is suitable for the flowering phase as well as for the entire cycle and is intended exclusively for luminaires with a CMH/LEC ballast.

Parameters

• Power: 630 W
• Type: CMH (ceramic metal halide), pulse-start
• Design: double ended (Double Ended, DE)
• Colour temperature: 3100K (full spectrum)
• Power supply: 240V / 50Hz via CMH/LEC ballast
• Compatibility: only CMH/LEC ballasts (not a standard HPS/MH ballast)

Compatibility

Compatible:

• CMH/LEC ballast for 630W double ended (DE) lamps
• Double ended (DE) reflector, for example Lumatek Tekken Pro Hammertone DE

Incompatible:

• 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 arc 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 growth vigour and flower quality. The 3100K colour temperature with an emphasis on warm tones is especially suitable for the flowering phase.

Connection and safety

The lamp is double ended (Double Ended) and belongs exclusively in luminaires and ballasts designed for CMH/LEC. Do not operate it with a standard HPS or MH ballast; it is operated exclusively on a CMH/LEC ballast and fitted into a double ended reflector, for example Lumatek Tekken Pro Hammertone DE.

Frequently asked questions

Which ballast do I connect the lamp to?
The Lumatek CMH 630W DE lamp belongs exclusively in luminaires and ballasts designed for CMH/LEC technology. It cannot be operated with a standard HPS or MH ballast; it is operated exclusively on a CMH/LEC ballast. Before purchase, therefore, make sure that you have a CMH/LEC ballast for 630W double ended lamps.

Which phase is 3100K suitable for?
The 3100K colour temperature provides warmer, red-rich light with a full spectrum, which is especially suitable for the flowering phase. Thanks to the wide 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 arc tube instead of a quartz one, which provides a wider and fuller colour spectrum closer to sunlight, including useful UV and far red. Compared with a standard metal halide lamp, it therefore offers higher-quality light for growth and flowering. It is an improved type of MH technology.
