Lightspeed 630W CMH DE Growlight Fixture VS ECO Farm CMH 630W Double Ended Grow Light Reviews 2021

What Is A Ceramic MH Grow Light?
First, let’s clear up a point of confusion. I’m sure you’ve seen (even just in this article), several different terms and abbreviations.
Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH), Light Emitting Ceramic (LEC) and Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide (CDM) all refer to the same thing. CMH is the most common term.
Another point of confusion concerns their relationship to metal halide lights.
CMH grow lights are a variation of MH, but they are quite different. Instead of using a quartz tube, they use a ceramic one (more here), similar to an HPS bulb.
This allows a higher arc tube temperature, which in turn allows a better mix of gases to produce a more optimal spectrum (more on this below in the sections comparing CMH to MH and HPS).
The light produced by a CMH bulb is much closer to natural sunlight than either metal halide or high pressure sodium (with a CRI of 96). It is, for practical purposes, a perfect combination of MH and HPS in a single bulb.

Nothing else really comes close in terms of quality. It includes everything you need to light your plants, so you can just plug it in and start growing. You get an all-in-one hood reflector, which means it contains the ballast needed to power the lamp. The bulb socket is at the top of the hood, so the bulb hangs vertically. This makes for a more even light spread than a horizontal bulb. The inside of the hood is 98% reflective German aluminum with 95% reflective textured corners. This ensures optimal output and uniformity, meaning you are losing as little light as possible from the reflection and there are no hot spots that can burn your plants. The kit linked to here includes the 4000K bulb, but there is also a kit available with the 4000K bulb instead. The 4000K bulb is better for vegging, so some growers use it if they are getting a light for the whole grow cycle. Personally, I think the 4000K does fine with vegging. And it’s much better at flowering. I would just go with that one for everything, unless I was going to use the light for vegging only. Their open rated construction reduces radiant heat from the arc tube. As a result, this kit runs much cooler than a comparable HPS or MH light.
