The Cycloptics GreenBeams 315W CMH Lighting System delivers wall-to-wall uniform light coverage over the full plant canopy. The Cycloptics GreenBeams 315W CMH Lighting System is a complete Ceramic Metal Halide fixture with a ballast, bulb, and reflector. It is Plug-and-Play, ready to go out of the box. Choose the best spectrum for your specific purpose. We recommend the Philips 4200K (full spectrum) bulb for supplementing HPS bulbs and for vegetative growth. The Philips 3100K Agro is recommended for the flowering phase of growth.
Cycloptics Greenbeams Indoor Garden Lighting Systems
Greenbeams can be used in both small and large scale grow room applications. Depending on the level of light required, we can determine the optimal number of lights required to meet your needs while maintaining the best spectrum and highest levels of uniformity.
Cycloptics Greenbeams CMH Reflector -- Total Uniform Light Intensity
The Cycloptics GreenBeams 315W CMH Lighting System increases plant yields by its unique ability to deliver wall-to-wall uniform light intensity over the full plant canopy. This is achieved by the geometry of the Cycloptics Greenbeams CMH patented reflector. The Cycloptics Greenbeams CHM Reflector collects the photons from a vertically mounted Philips 315W CMH lamp and distributes them in a uniform 360 degree radial distribution pattern. This light is purposefully reflected off the grow room walls to deliver uniform intensity onto full canopy of the perimeter and interior plants.
Greenbeams indoor lighting systems deliver superior light uniformity over the full volume of a grow room with greater intracanopy light penetration than horizontal lamp reflectors. "Hot spots" are eliminated too, because 90% of the light reflects off the walls and lands on the plants from multiple angles. The Cycloptics Greenbeam's geometry assures that less than 3% of the lamp's rays are trapped by the lamp as they reflect in One Bounce and Out off of the reflector's 95% reflective aluminum. This is far superior to horizontal lamp reflectors. They trap up to 20% of the lamp's light inside the reflector in the form of heat, which is the primary cause of horizontal lamp failures.
Cycloptics indoor garden lighting systems can improve crop yield, reduce the days to harvest at reduced temperatures; using significantly less energy. They incorporate a patented reflector, a vertically mounted 315W Philips Green Power CMH (ceramic metal halide) lamp, and a digital ballast. In combination they make Greenbeams the most energy efficient lighting system to grow your favorite vegetables, plants indoors year around.
Philips Green Power 315W CMH Spectrum -- Proven Performance
Philips originally developed this lamp for Cycloptics. It is the most efficient lamp in producing photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) per watt. As tested at Utah State University Crop Physiology Laboratory the Philips 3100K and 4200K Agro lamps are 18% and 45% more efficient for photosynthesis than MH and HPS lamps respectively. This lighting system offers the choice of either the 3100K or 4200K Philips bulbs.
Cycloptics Selected The Philips 315W CMH Lamp For 5 Reasons:
- The lamp can be mounted vertically, and the small size of its emitter allows for maximum beam control by Cycloptics reflector
- The 15.8 PPF/kLux output compared to 10.9 and 13.4 for HPS and MH respectively
- The spectrum can grow any type of plant, as tested by Utah State Crop Physiology Laboratory
- The stability of the spectrum as the percentage of PPF output during dimming
- The lamp is approved for use in open luminaires
Phantom II CMh 315W Ceramic Metal Halide Digital Ballast
The Phantom CMh 315W ballast is a remotely operated, low frequency, square-wave digital ballast designed specifically for the 315W high intensity ceramic halide lamp, which can be used with equal effectiveness for both vegetative and flowering growth. The Phantom CMh 315W features internal RF shielding, multi-aspect protection circuitry, versatile 120/208/240V input voltage.
Like all ballasts in the Phantom family, the CMh 315 ballast is silent, reliable, and energy-efficient. The Phantom CMh 315W can easily be wall-mounted near the reflector, and can be mounted up to fifty feet away from the reflector using our optional lamp cord extensions. Includes an 8' 120V power cord, operating instructions, and a three-year warranty.
PHANTOM 315W FEATURES:
- Low Frequency, square wave technology provides much greater current stability and consistency in output levels, as well as low acoustic resonance
- Up to 30' lamp striking distance: Separate the ballast from your reflector by 30' of distance if necessary (optional lamp cord extensions may be needed)
- Multi-volt capability: Can be run at either 120V or 240V
- Multi-aspect Protection Circuitry: Includes short circuit protection, open circuit protection, overvoltage protection, under voltage protection, overcurrent protection, hot lamp startup protection, lightning protection, overheat protection, lamp failure protection, and lamp life warning
