CMH lamps with broad light spectrum and high efficiency

Ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamps are not yet very well known in this country, yet they bring many advantages and are significantly cheaper than LEDs. Ceramic metal halide lamps are also gas discharge lamps, but produce less heat than conventional sodium vapor lamps (NDL) or metal halide lamps (MH) and have a service life twice as long.

Because of their ceramic element, CMHs have a higher temperature resistance than comparable lamps made of quartz glass. The ceramic insulation also provides much improved insulation and less dissipated heat. The probability of burning plant leaves is therefore considerably lower compared to MH or NDL lamps.

A particular advantage of CMH lamps is their exceptionally broad light spectrum, which above all fully covers the range of photosynthetically active radiation between 400 nm and 700 nm. This feature of CMH lamps guarantees a very high efficiency in operation and correspondingly good results in growth and yield.
The full light spectrum of CMH lamps corresponds overall more to that of the sun and brings in the result stronger and healthier plants.

Finally, the spectrum of CMH lamps even has a portion of UV-A light, which not even LEDs can produce.
UV-A radiation occurs in nature only in pronounced altitudes and mountain regions. Due to the proximity to the sun and fewer dust particles in the air, plants receive more UV-A radiation and thus develop experiential potency.
CMH lamps also reproduce this effect in the growroom or growbox.
All in all, you get more light with CMH lamps than with comparable ND or MH lamps and produces less unnecessary heat. Due to the full light spectrum, the generated yields are significantly higher than with NDL/MH, while the initial costs are significantly lower than those of LED lamps. Our Lumatek 315W CMH set consists of a Lumatek 315W CMH lamp, the matching ballast and an E40 adapter, so you can get started right away.
