SunPulse 315W CMH 3200K: Solar-Symmetry Spectrum at 105 Lumens Per Watt
The SunPulse 315W CMH runs at 3200K with 33,000 lumens (@ 100 hours) and 105 lm/W efficacy — a warm ceramic metal halide spectrum designed with true solar symmetry for photochemical reactions in living organisms. Created by the GAS Technologies group of photo-biologists, plant scientists, and HID lamp designers, these lamps are engineered for greater molecular efficiency and better color rendering than standard HID alternatives. The 3200K positioning supports bloom-stage metabolism while carrying enough spectral breadth for transitional applications.
20,000-Hour Universal Burning Position CMH for Bloom and Transitional Growth
Rated at 20,000 hours with a CRI around 80, the SunPulse 315W maintains its spectral quality through an impressively long service life — outlasting most MH and HPS lamps by a wide margin. The universal burning position means it mounts in any orientation — horizontal, vertical, or angled — without affecting performance, which gives growers fixture placement flexibility that position-restricted lamps cannot. Typical hot restart time runs 6–8 minutes. Operating at 3.15A with PGZX18 base designation, the lamp fits standard 315W CMH fixtures and ballasts. Made with the highest quality materials and quality control to deliver consistent batch-to-batch performance.
Key Features
- 33,000 Lumens at 105 lm/W: High lumen output and strong efficacy from a 315W draw that keeps heat manageable while delivering commercial-grade light intensity
- 3200K Warm Bloom Spectrum: Supports flowering metabolism and transitional growth with a spectral distribution designed for true photochemical reactions in plants
- True Solar Symmetry Design: Engineered by photo-biologists and gas chemists for spectral balance that mimics natural sunlight more accurately than standard HID lamps
- 20,000-Hour Rated Life: Outlasts most MH and HPS lamps by a wide margin, extending replacement intervals and reducing per-cycle lamp costs
- Universal Burning Position: Operates in any mounting orientation without performance degradation, giving growers full flexibility in fixture placement
