Omega 315W CDM Euro Reflector - Hammered-Finish Reflector for 315W CDM Lamps
Best for: growers running a 315W CDM/CMH lamp who need a well-made reflector to spread that light evenly across the grow area.
Our thoughts
Worth flagging up front: this is a reflector for a 315W CDM lamp, not a light fixture with its own wattage or an LED. It's a simple, well-finished bit of kit, and at under a tenner it's one of the cheapest ways to get a proper Euro-style reflector onto a 315W CDM setup.
The Omega 315W CDM Euro Reflector is built to house and direct light from a 315W CDM lamp in either 3000K or 4000K colour temperature. It's finished in hammered aluminium with rounded corners and hanging eyelets for easy mounting, and includes a central spine that increases reflection and helps reduce hot spots compared to a flat-backed reflector. The Euro-style shape is designed to spread light evenly across the grow area rather than concentrating it in a tight hotspot directly beneath the lamp.
It's supplied with a 5 metre IEC cable for wiring to a compatible 315W CDM ballast, and uses quality materials throughout to maximise light reflectivity without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to the fixture.
How it compares
315W CDM reflectors range from basic open designs to Omega's own enclosed options, with this Euro Reflector sitting firmly at the budget end.
- Omega's own Enclosed Spectrum Reflector offers tighter light control at a higher price, using anodised aluminium internally
- Adjust-a-Wings style premium reflectors add adjustable wings for more precise light shaping, at several times the cost
- Against generic unbranded 315W reflectors, the hammered-aluminium finish and central spine give this a build-quality edge for the price
If you want a properly made 315W CDM reflector without paying for adjustable wings or enclosed glass, this covers the job well.
Usage guidance
Pairing
Use with a 315W CDM ballast and either a 3000K or 4000K CDM lamp - it isn't designed for HPS or metal halide lamps outside the 315W CDM range.
Mounting
Hang using the built-in eyelets, positioning the reflector so the central spine sits directly above the lamp for the most even spread across the canopy.
Height
315W CDM runs cooler than a 1000W HPS, so it can typically be hung closer to the canopy - start around 30-45cm and adjust based on leaf response.
Technical specifications
- Reflector type: Euro-style with central spine
- Compatible lamp: 315W CDM (3000K or 4000K)

Who this is for
- Growers building a 315W CDM setup from scratch
- Anyone replacing a worn or damaged reflector on an existing CDM fixture
- Budget-conscious growers who want a properly finished reflector without premium pricing
Best suited to growers who already have or are buying a 315W CDM ballast and lamp separately.
Our take
This is a no-nonsense 315W reflector that gets the fundamentals right - even spread, decent build, simple to hang. It's not trying to be a premium adjustable-wing reflector, and at this price it doesn't need to be.
Does exactly what it should, day in, day out - a sensible, low-cost pick for anyone running 315W CDM.
