1000w Ceramic Metal Halide Bulbs? Will these work?

[DJ GreenThumb]

I have been reading threads about how efficient CMH bulbs are and from what I read I was under the impression that they didn't make them in 1000w. Are these not the correct ones to use?

It has a cri of 65.... the cmh have a cri of 90.... I would like to see a na spectrum sheet on this bulb.... cant seem to find one.... would be great if it did have a spectrum of the smaller 400w cmh.... its cheap! I looked up the philips part number from that link and it doesnt state ceramic... just a switch start ... but hey,,, im going to contact philips and get a spectrum sheet... Good find Dj... maybe..

Holy carp,,, check out these spectrums... only 775w but the output is outrageous... looks like you have to get a matching ballast... http://www.venturelighting.com/LampsDataSheets/NaturalWhite/24999m.pdf

I just read a review on a 600w cmh. Unfortunently the person reviewing it(a magazine contributor) didn't know anything about cmh and was only using it for veg. I couldn't say how they compare to the 400w ones. I use a 400cmh and a 600 hps, but would love a 600w cmh that was just like the 400 with more light. Hell even a 1k i would love.

i read somewhere that when you use CMH, you have to use a phillips bulb.

I use the 400w Philips cmh for veg and would love a 600w or 1000w bulb with the same spectral output...
