The Adjust-A-Wings Hellion 630W 3100K DE CMH Lamp is a high-output double-ended ceramic metal halide lamp producing approximately 1200µmol/s PPF from a broad, warm full spectrum designed for complete plant development and particularly strong flowering performance.
The 3100K, or 3.1K, version combines the broad spectral characteristics of ceramic metal halide technology with a warmer output than the 4200K version. This gives the lamp a strong balance of wavelengths across the plant-active spectrum while increasing its suitability for flowering and fruiting crops.
Adjust-A-Wings developed the Hellion CMH range around purpose-designed Japanese ceramic arc tubes rather than adapting a general-purpose lamp. The result is a specialist plant-lighting lamp designed to work as part of the Hellion 630W DE-CMH system.
This is a double-ended 630W CMH lamp. It requires a compatible DE-CMH fixture and correctly matched low-frequency electronic ballast and must not be connected directly to the mains supply.
Why choose the Adjust-A-Wings 630W 3100K DE-CMH Lamp?
- 630W DE-CMH technology - professional high-intensity ceramic metal halide plant lighting.
- 3100K warm full spectrum - designed for complete crop development with particular strength during flowering.
- Approximately 1200µmol/s PPF - high photosynthetic photon output from a 630W discharge lamp.
- Approximately 1.91µmol/J efficacy - efficient conversion of electrical power into photosynthetically active light.
- CRI approximately 88 - broad visible-spectrum output compared with conventional HPS lighting.
- Japanese ceramic arc-tube technology - developed specifically for the Adjust-A-Wings CMH system.
- Double-ended construction - designed for compatible 630W DE-CMH fixtures.
- Full-cycle capability - suitable from vegetative development through flowering and maturation.
- Excellent flowering lamp - Adjust-A-Wings positions the 3K spectrum as its warmer standalone option, particularly suited to flowering.
- Mixed-spectrum compatible - can be combined with DE-HPS lighting where greater spectral diversity is required.
3100K spectrum for full-cycle plant development
The 3100K Hellion DE-CMH produces a warm broad-spectrum output rather than the heavily yellow and orange-biased spectrum associated with conventional HPS lighting.
It retains useful blue light for vegetative development while providing a stronger warm and red component than the 4200K Hellion CMH. This makes the 3100K version particularly versatile where one CMH spectrum is required throughout the complete crop cycle.
Adjust-A-Wings specifically describes its 3K lamps as strong standalone choices for all stages of growth, with particular suitability for flowering.
3100K or 4200K CMH?
Both versions use the same fundamental 630W double-ended CMH technology, but their spectral emphasis is different.
| 3100K / 3.1K | Warmer full spectrum. Excellent standalone option for full-cycle use and particularly well suited to flowering and fruiting. |
|---|---|
| 4200K / 4.2K | Cooler spectrum with additional blue. Particularly useful for vegetative development and supplementing warmer HPS lighting. |
For an installation using CMH as the principal light source throughout the crop cycle, the 3100K version is the more flowering-focused of the two spectrum options.
1200µmol/s photosynthetic photon flux
The Hellion 630W 3100K DE-CMH is rated at approximately 1200µmol/s PPF, with a photon efficacy of approximately 1.91µmol/J.
PPF measures the number of photons within the photosynthetically active range emitted by the lamp every second. It is therefore considerably more relevant to plant-lighting performance than a conventional lumen figure alone.
The actual photon density reaching the crop will depend on the reflector, mounting height, fixture spacing and overall lighting layout.
Why use ceramic metal halide?
CMH uses a ceramic arc tube to produce a broad and relatively continuous spectrum. This differs significantly from conventional HPS technology, which concentrates a much greater proportion of its output into yellow, orange and red wavelengths.
The broader output makes CMH particularly attractive where spectral quality is important as well as raw photon output. It also allows the 3100K Hellion lamp to support both vegetative and reproductive stages without changing lamp technology between crop stages.
CMH & HPS mixed-spectrum lighting
The 630W Hellion DE-CMH can also be incorporated alongside DE-HPS fixtures to create a mixed-spectrum installation.
CMH contributes a much broader range of wavelengths, including substantially more blue, while HPS contributes intense yellow, orange and red output. Combining the technologies allows professional lighting layouts to exploit the different spectral characteristics of both lamp types.
The comparable output of the Hellion 630W DE-CMH and higher-output DE-HPS systems makes the combination particularly useful where alternating lighting layouts are being designed.
Dedicated 630W DE-CMH lamp format
This lamp uses a K12x30s double-ended base and is designed for an appropriately rated double-ended lamp holder. Its specified operating position is horizontal within approximately ±15°.
The lamp must be installed in a compatible fixture and operated using correctly matched 630W DE-CMH control gear.
Do not attempt to fit the lamp into conventional single-ended E40 equipment. The double-ended 630W lamp and the smaller Adjust-A-Wings 315W single-ended CMH lamps use different connection systems.
Requires compatible low-frequency CMH control gear
The Hellion 630W DE-CMH was designed to operate with specialist low-frequency square-wave electronic control gear.
Correct ballast matching is important for reliable ignition, stable lamp operation, spectral performance and lamp life. A ballast should therefore be specifically approved for 630W DE-CMH operation.
Do not assume that a conventional 600W HPS ballast, 630W-rated ballast or adjustable HID ballast is compatible simply because its wattage is similar.
12,000-hour rated lamp life
The 630W 3100K DE-CMH has a rated average life of approximately 12,000 hours.
Adjust-A-Wings recommends changing its CMH and DE-CMH lamps approximately every 12-18 months when operated for 18 hours per day, helping maintain lighting performance rather than waiting until complete lamp failure.
A new lamp should initially be operated at its full rated output for the first 24 hours to season the lamp before any compatible dimming function is used.

Adjust-A-Wings 630W 3100K DE-CMH FAQs
Can I use the 3100K lamp for vegetative growth?
Yes. Unlike a heavily red-biased flowering lamp, the broad CMH spectrum retains substantial light across the visible range, allowing the 3100K version to be used during vegetative development as well as flowering.
What is the difference between the 3100K and 4200K Hellion lamps?
The 3100K version has a warmer spectrum and is particularly strong as a standalone full-cycle and flowering lamp. The 4200K version contains additional blue and is especially useful for vegetative development and supplementing HPS.
What is the PPF of the 630W 3100K DE-CMH?
The lamp is rated at approximately 1200µmol/s PPF, with an efficacy of approximately 1.91µmol/J.
Does this lamp fit an E40 lamp holder?
No. This is a double-ended lamp using a K12x30s base. The 315W single-ended CMH lamps in the Adjust-A-Wings range use a different lamp format.
Can I run it from a normal 600W HPS ballast?
No. The lamp requires control gear specifically compatible with 630W DE-CMH technology. Similar wattage does not make an HPS ballast electrically compatible with a CMH lamp.
Can the 630W CMH be used alongside DE-HPS lighting?
Yes. The Hellion DE-CMH system was designed with mixed-spectrum installations in mind, allowing the broader CMH spectrum to complement the strong yellow, orange and red output of DE-HPS lighting.
How long is the lamp rated to last?
The 630W 3100K DE-CMH has a rated average life of approximately 12,000 operating hours. Useful plant-light output will gradually decline during that period.
When does Adjust-A-Wings recommend replacing its CMH lamps?
For lamps operated around 18 hours per day, Adjust-A-Wings recommends replacement approximately every 12-18 months to maintain lighting performance.
Can a new Hellion CMH lamp be dimmed immediately?
Adjust-A-Wings recommends operating a new lamp at full rated power for its first 24 hours to season it before using a compatible dimming function.
What position should the 630W DE-CMH lamp operate in?
The lamp is specified for horizontal operation within approximately ±15°. It should always be installed correctly in a compatible double-ended fixture.
How should a used DE-CMH lamp be disposed of?
Used discharge lamps should be handled through an appropriate lamp recycling or WEEE waste route rather than being placed in general waste.
