Works as a supplemental lamp or is used throughout the full growth period.
315W 3100K CDM 930 lamps are used with suitable CDM (Ceramic discharge metal-halide) / CMH (Ceramic metal halide) fixtures.
The 315W 3100K CDM 930 lamps feature a double glass jacket.
Ceramic metal halide lamps work by heating up a ceramic tube within the bulb. Ceramic can withstand much higher temperatures than other media typically used in lights. This higher temperature results in the bulb creating a plasma-like light source similar to the sun.
Since the light emitted from a CMH is akin to natural sunlight, its spectrum is closer to that of natural sunlight, so that plants exposed to CMH light are getting a wider range of wavelengths of usable light than other types of grow lights can produce.
NOTE: When first lighting the lamp it needs to be run continuously for a minimum of 15 minutes. This allows the metals in the lamp to fuse correctly. NOT DOING THIS WILL RESULT IN LAMP FAILURE!
