Ty. It was a long time coming. I got all the help here.
Are 315 CMH lights worth it?

The single jacketed bulbs are meant for hoods with a protective glass.

No they made for open hoods. If they’re behind said glass the uv they produce would be blocked thus defeating the purpose of them.

They definitely aren't made for open hoods, the double jacketed bulbs can be used in open hoods because in case of bulb failure the explosion is contained within the extra layer of glass. The second layer also blocks UV which Philips most likely considers harmful to humans (since it is), since the bulbs weren't originally made for growing cannabis.
If you intend to be working near the lights I'd definitely use the double jacketed bulbs, even though I agree that the UV is good for potency. Safety first!
