They do for me.

The only problem with runnimg 2 315s or a double lamp fixture is if one goes out you must replace both or have uneven lighting

 

[Dynamo626]

Just unboxed the fixture. Sexy! The low profile and black finish just look good!

I'm much more interested in the background of these pics- A winery? Do you run it?

The light a lamp puts out degrades over time. This is why hps lamps should be replaced evert 9 months and mh every 6. There is a huge difference in a new lamp and one thats been running 9 months.

The longer a lamp runs the less light it puts out.

There's nothing in 'the rules' that says you have to change your lamps in unison.

Also, CMH/CDM/LEC ceramic metal halide lamps have a substantially longer replacement interval than either SE HPS or MH. From my reading over Philips white papers and other sources, it seems they can go a couple years.

A CMH will have 90% lumen maintenance after 12000 hours.
So a bulb should easily last 2 years.

Yep the philips is rated at 30000 hours. 3 times that of a hps. The way a lamp lifespan is rated is the point at witch 50% of the lamps are still running. So if you have 10 philips 315 cmh lamps. At 30,000 hours 5 will still be running and 5 dead. So if you have 2 lamps one may be destined to work for 24000 hours and the other say 32000 hours. No it isnt in the "rule book" to replace both, its just a good idea. Most will not even think abought it untill they harvest and are tring to figure out why there harvest isnt uniform and half of it isnt as dence and oily as the rest. Its because one lamp is brand new and the other only has 8000 untill its burnt out. Im sure everyone can agree its best to replace the lamps before they burn out

Ok and after 20000 hours? This is my point exactly. Dosnt make sence to have one lamp at 90% and the one next to it at 100%

It's pretty normal to replace a lamp when it's at 90%.

Well thats not fair to many it probably dosnt matter. Not every grower is the same with the same harvest goal. Im just ocd and like everything to be perfect and uniform lol. Happy New Year all!!!
