ManUbuntu Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Fellow growers!I stumble upon a "new" way of light, Ceramic Metal Halide. It's in the HID family and promises a lot. Went trough an extensive and painful topic on icmag but I like this company a lot more so the Q is: does anyone grow with this kind of light. I found them on Philips official page, they come in diff types of wattage and color, what cought my eye was this one:http://download.p4c.philips.com/l4b/9/928601172201_na/928601172201_na_pss_aenaa.pdfso can anyone help me around this one? does anyone use it? where can I get them in EU? and much nore important Q, where can I get the ballast for this lamp?thank you and bless you allman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManUbuntu Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 also want to pit this type of bulbs in here:http://download.p4c.philips.com/l4bt/3/332474/mastercolor_cdm-t_elite_med_watt_332474_ffs_aen.pdfthe diff between t9 and t12 is that t12 is protected and doesn't require an enclosed reflector while t9 requires it.peaceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannabissapean Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hey Friend,It is interesting. I went to the Official Philips Online shop (.de), entered "Mastercolor CDM-T Elite 315W T12". Even Philips Website does not recognize their own product. Reading the specifications again, I noticed that it is advertized to comply with American Standards and Canadian Standards, but that neither European Standards (CE) nor Deutsche Industrie Norms (DIN) are listed. It may be possible that it is not allowed to be sold in the European market. Philips (of the Netherlands) may have developed these bulbs only for the USA and Canadian markets.

Cannabissapean Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Aha! Try Alibaba.com. But dont be surprised if your order gets stopped at Customs if this bulb or Ballast is forbidden in Europe.Uhoh! Alibaba seems to have only the ballasts and lighting fixtures for this bulb, but no bulbs themselves. OK, found it. Try www.gogrowhydroponics.co.uk But have a seat first... It costs a whopping 110 Pounds per bulb!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
