- In this comparison video we take a look at all the major brands of CMH Bulbs. The brands we are comparing are Philips, Ushio, Yield Lab, Protopia, Vivosun, and Ipower. We evaluate their packaging, PAR output and overall price. Ceramic Metal Halides are the newest up and coming full cycle Grow Lights in the industry. Loved as a median between LED and HPS, these bulbs are more efficient generating low heat and a higher output. Enjoy the video and let us know what bulb you think looks best in the comment section.

Who realy cares about package 6 min on that and no real test
Forreal 🤦😂
F this guy, a package review?
Nothing about the longevity of each bulb, how much and how fast they degrade, or light spectrum.
I love the Phillips 930 full spectrum, just the best bulb in terms of built quality and balanced spectrum
the par is far more then 199 in the center to. im looking on rocking 2 315's in a 4x4 1 315 is doin great.
@@ld32486 You described our flowering tent lol...a 4x4 with x2 315watt Vivosun ballasts running Philips 3100k's.. no complains whatsoever....before this we used a 630watt ballast that fit 2 bulbs but we get much better results with the lights spread out 👌🏻💡🌱
He is just checking par... What he doesn't check is spectrum. and the Philips bulb has a way bigger out put in the red than the other bulbs,, its what you want when flowering.. he doesn't mention that and just checks par value...
Vivosun updated their packaging as of late. They use the Philips core and foam casket package and
Branded box.
Vivosun appears to be selling bulbs manufactured by EBM lighting (a lot of companies sell their bulbs in rebranded boxes, Vivosun clearly went the cheap route and did not even get the rebranded boxes). I have those bulbs, they came with the EBM ballast I purchased.
Looks like your par readings were taken from a distance of 4 feet? Is that the usual bulb to canopy distance for a CMH bulb?
No lol
Thank for this very interesting video brother...
The foam pack makes me think of the packaging of projection lamps
Hortivision 3000k 600w CMH Bulb has the best Medicinal Spectrum Horticulture Specific bar none. Finished with a 10,000k high UVB Finishing Bulb in the last week. Goodnight competition. Also I noticed you factor in the packaging.. well the Hortivision 600w CMH Bulbs come in a solid Box like a Watch comes in.. and then when you slide the top half of the box off, inside is a solid foam black lid with a groove for the bulb, and then the buld itself is sitting hidden inside a solid black foam square you almost can't even get the bulb out similar to the ipower packaging.
no growers choice? GC's 4k bulb has a 98cri and there 3k-r is the shit for bloom. best on the market....
Yup this guy knows whats up , GC has been hurtin feelings all year lol.
Only if they last as long as Philips. If u have to replace 3 times before Philips bulb than those bulbs are not worth the buy. Also take into account the rate of degradation of the light output. These will all be difficult to test
So a vid about the packaging!
That's a misleading description of your video.
Just a quick question how many boops dose the Philips box have again ?
Watched this trippin and I thought i was watching the original JAWS for like an hour and a half, im on the edge of my seat like GOOD LORD WHEN am I gonna see the shark?!?!
XD
Time for a reDo and grab the popular bulbs growers choice hortilux
Is possible use this cmh 315w bulbs with a 600w hps/mh magnetic ballast? It work?
Lol
nope. but you can use maxibrights special 600w conversion bulb with a 600w magnetic ballast or a digital ballast but only on the 600w setting. www.onestopgrowshop.co.uk/products/600w-maxibright-cmh-cdm-agro-3k
No
CMH is where it's at but you didn't even mention the industry best. Not even the Phillips can hang with Cultilux. It is the only CMH I have seen make the plants look better and healthier within 24 hrs of switching from a different brand CMH. Take the Cultilux 315 challenge today. Highest CRI on the market and produces UV
Do you work for cultilux?
@jack Fuck the Grow Co. Urban Flora brand, they dont honor redunds on defective equipment. 10 out of 90 fixtures failed and alot of Philips bulbs too.(maybe the fixtures fault)
Philips has the best bulb. .highest price for good bulb.do not trust Chinese cmh .cmh is really good at healthy plants... Philips hands down
Not true at all. Phillips was the most expensive with cheap packaging, and a lower PAR average than several other Bulbs. Run some test yourself before projecting false information.
@@igitsolutions This may be true, we decided not to test lifespan as it would take a really long time to get this video out.
@@GrowAce lmao
for the price of the Phillips they could at least pack it better.
This is like watching my wife buy shoes.
Watching this video was like watching Motor Trend compare the top-six luxury sedans and then 90% of all the testing is on the vehicle's color and stating that BMW is the best luxury sedan of 2021 bec it has blue paint and then for the performance test let them idle and determine BMW is best performing.
Its clearly a yieldlab AKA growace ad but in comments people are making choices that impact their life saving medicine based this company's commercial. Not a fact based ad but one 90% is a comparison of the packaging. I'm surprised he didn't determine the best bulb by his favorite colored logo. Packaging is the only factor that does not matter when choosing any product. What does matter is the bulbs C.R.I, its efficiency, ballast compatability, light spectrum, ir or UV output, longevity, wattage consumed, or price. Click bait and spam at its worst
I still think Philips is better.nevergonna change my mind.
Opinions vs tested facts...... Its your money. Do what you think is best.
Are there not other considerations besides PAR and cost when selecting which bulb is "better" or "Best"? Some, like myself and possibly Kyle, find the spectrum of a bulb the most important feature, even if the bulb is poorly packaged and a few bucks more. It was a GrawAce video that help sell me on the Philips in the first place.
Your video did introduce me to new bulbs on the market. Thanks. But I won't buy one of them without a good look at their spectrum no matter their cost or package..
Yes, True spectrum is important. These bulbs were all supposed to be relatively the same spectrum. Spectrometers are hard to come by but we aim to acquire one in the future.
GrowAce I compared spectrum of Philips 930Agro, Omega, Protopia and EBM bulbs. All the same spectrum, no difference. Philips superiority is a myth. I think it comes from Philips putting PAR numbers in their spec sheet and nobody else does.
Its foam rubber not Styrofoam.

You are Grow Ace .... Yield Lab is Your Brand .... your company is not reputable
Yes Yield Lab is one of our House Brands we have never tried to hide that. With that being said, this does not impact the integrity of our brand. Check our unedited versions of our videos and see for your self. Results are results, and if you are extremely skeptical we suggest purchasing the bulbs and running the tests yourself. We strongly stand behind our Videos, Tests and the products we promote.
7 1/2 min of a 8 1/2 min video comparing the bulbs packaging ? 1 min comparing bulb performance ... totally not showing the actual video tested meter results... Growers House does complete testing with totally different results then yours ?
$126. for Philips Bulb .. come on.... they are only $70-75 , ebay /offer up has new ones for $50. sometimes . Your review is not fair.
If you want to go there, Growers House did not show the actual test either. They just showed their results. Which were measured at different distances so that would explain the different results. We do however commend them for using a spectrometer something we hope to do in the future.
We went with the most expensive results we found for each bulb to illustrate the differences between "brand names". This inst the same price as originally posted but you can see that it gets into the 100's for a Phiillips bulb, even from reputable sites . www.htgsupply.com/products/philips-ceramic-metal-halide-bulb-315-watt-4200k
Seems like u rated them off how they are packaged.phillps is the best.you are just advertising for ur grow ace .
Not true at all. Phillips was the most expensive with cheap packaging, and a lower PAR average than several other Bulbs. Run some test yourself before projecting false information.
Phillips is not the best. I've tested them against Omega, Protopia and eBM bulbs. Philips beaten by all of them. In addition they are not a good company to deal with.
@@GrowAce @MIGRO @kylesisseck, ya screw Philips! And no, not like a Philip's screwdriver...
Philip's are also known for BLOWING UP. Actually I hear great things about Philip's yield and spectrum tho, but apparently low quality fixtures are known to blow up the Philips bulbs because they cant get adequate power it stresses the bulb and they burst, which can melt your skin and eyes, people have been hurt and blinded by Philip's, the only CMH bulb in the market with explosion recall and readily warrenty exploded bulbs, an instance which most companys only see with USER error....
So this makes me wonder if PHILIPS bulbs pull more watts! You should test it!
Another top competitor I dont see anyone testing is EYE hortilux, people say it's by far the best.
I wanna see that bulb under testing!
I like packaging that is bio degradable, styrofoam sucks!!!
What was the problem with the 400w? Why no 400w cmh bulb on the market? Oh i know why! Its just another a fraud.
Cardboard is a lot better for the environment than plastic packaging . You are not giving props for that . You environmental vandal.
