Great thread about cmh and thank you to everyone who has contributed as this compelled me to make the switch to cmh last year with spectacular results compared to hps/mh

My question is I have two new SolisTek DE 1kw @120v (one is v.1 the other v.2) ballasts that are going unused and I am wondering if I can fire the GrowersChoice 630W DE CMH 3100k bulb on these ballasts.

Having read this thread through I believe I can (with loss of bulb life) but I just wanted to confirm before I drop 3 bills on lamps. Thanks in advance.

Yes u can but will lose bulb life. Make sure u use Shields with amy DE CMH bulb in a open fixture.

Hammerhead, You see any issues going into super lumen mode 630>700 WATTS? Other than the appropriate increase of wear equal to extra wattage?

I have never run a 630w bulb on 700w. Iv'e only used 660w setting on a 630w bulb. u shouldn't boost any bulb more than 10%. Using super lumen has a major impact on bulb life.
630+10%=693.
