B.Lite 500W Premium CMH Fixture (120V-277V)

A 500W CMH Fixture That Runs 315W or 500W Lamps

A single ballast that handles two lamp sizes gives growers room to change the setup as the garden grows. This B.Lite Premium fixture runs either a 315W or a 500W CMH lamp in the same compact housing. Its onboard dial steps through 250W, 315W, 400W and full output. The ballast accepts 120V to 277V, from a standard outlet up to a commercial circuit. Power factor reaches 0.98 at full load, with total harmonic distortion under 10%. ALMECO Vega and Alanod MIRO aluminum line the open reflector for an even spread of light. Ceramic metal halide runs cooler and draws fewer amps than older HID, while keeping a broad spectrum. Smart Start ignition and soft start ease the lamp to full output on every strike. Hot lamp re-strike handles brief power interruptions safely. The housing measures about 11.7 x 9.4 x 6.9 in, small enough for tents and tight rooms.

Setting Up a Ceramic Metal Halide Grow Light

Choose the lamp first, since this fixture ships without one. Set the dial to match that lamp before powering up, then seat it with clean gloves. Hang the fixture level and plug the RJ14 kit into its control port. Linked to the B.Lite Master Zone Controller, a whole zone dims together from zero to full power. Used alone, each fixture runs from its own dial. Start young plants low and raise the output as they fill the space. Automatic frequency adjustment keeps the arc steady through small voltage changes. Full circuit protection and RF shielding protect the ballast and the electronics around it. Keep the room between freezing and 35 degrees C, at 25 to 70 percent relative humidity. Wipe the reflector between crops so it keeps returning light to the canopy.
