LUMATEK MH 240V

Lumatek MH 240V bulb

The Lumatek MH 240V is a high-performance metal halide bulb for indoor gardens. This type of bulb belongs to the group of high-pressure lamps and is characterized by the following features.

First of all, the Lumatek MH 240V has excellent color rendering and is optimal for vegetative growth, one of the most important stages in the life cycle of plants. In general, metal halide bulbs have a spectrum that is usable by plants in vegetation.

Light is generated by passing a state-of-the-art quartz arc tube through a combination of argon and mercury gases and a variety of metal halides. This interaction produces illumination that plants can use to grow.

The latest Lumatek MH 240V bulbs are designed for use with Lumatek’s own range of ballasts, which are essential for the use of metal halide bulbs. They control the amount of energy supplied to the bulb, preventing insufficient or excessive energy being supplied to the bulb and avoiding issues with overheating.

Lumatek MH bulbs are available in different wattages and sizes, which adapt to the different space requirements of growers. This bulb comes in 250W, 400W, 600W and 1000W and all of them are available with a voltage of 240V. Likewise, all available models in the Lumatek MH range have an E40 socket for Lumatek ballasts.

The components of the Lumatek MH bulb are of the highest quality and the manufacturer estimates a lifespan of around 10,000 hours, a slightly lower performance than sodium vapor lamps, but still excellent nevertheless. The Lumatek MH uses quartz arc tube technology to withstand the high temperatures it can reach. In addition, the inside of the tube is filled with horticultural gas that creates an optimal spectral output for healthy plant growth.

This technology makes the bulb compatible with high temperatures while increasing color rendering, output, and efficiency. Finally, the Lumatek MH solution incorporates pulse start technology that facilitates much faster start-up and restart times, which will also favor the maintenance of a higher PAR/PPF level.

In short, the Lumatek MH 240V will satisfy the demands of indoor growers who require high performance in their indoor garden. It is one of the best value solutions for providing optimal lighting for plants in a state of vegetative growth. In addition, it comes with the stamp of Lumatek, one of the best bulb manufacturers on the market.
