A 1000W CMH Fixture for Large Canopies
Two large ceramic metal halide lamps give this fixture the output to cover a big canopy from one hanging point. The B.Lite Premium ballast drives two lamps for a combined 1000W. Its dial steps through 500W, 600W, 800W and full output. The ballast accepts 120V to 277V, so it fits standard and commercial circuits. Power factor reaches 0.98 at full load, and harmonic distortion stays under 10%. Vega and Alanod MIRO aluminum line the reflector to spread both lamps evenly. CMH light keeps a broad, natural spectrum while running cooler than older HID. Smart Start ignition and soft start bring both lamps up gently on every strike. Hot lamp re-strike restarts them safely after a brief outage. The housing measures about 21.4 x 9.4 x 7.0 in.
Setting Up a Dual 500W CMH Fixture
Fit two CMH lamps of the same type, since the fixture ships without them. Seat each lamp with clean gloves and hang the fixture level over the canopy. Plug the RJ14 kit into the control port to join the fixture to a zone. The B.Lite Master Zone Controller dims the whole zone together from 1W to full power. On its own, each ballast runs from its built-in dial. Start young plants at the lower settings and raise output as they grow. Automatic frequency adjustment keeps both arcs steady as line voltage changes. Full circuit protection and RF shielding protect the ballast and the electronics nearby. Keep the room between freezing and 35 degrees C, at 25 to 70 percent humidity. Clean the reflector between crops so both lamps keep their reach.
