Omega 315W Spectrum Enclosed Reflector - Enclosed Reflector for CDM Lamps
Best for: growers running a 315W CDM lamp who want an enclosed reflector to maximise usable light and control heat.
Our thoughts
The reflector is the part of a CDM kit that's easy to skimp on, but it makes a real difference to how much of your lamp's output actually reaches the canopy. Omega's enclosed design squeezes more usable light out of a 315W CDM lamp than an open reflector would, and it pairs directly with the matching Omega ballast and lamp.
The Omega 315W Spectrum Enclosed Reflector is purpose-built for 315W CDM lamps, with a white powder-coated interior designed to maximise light reflection and output. Being an enclosed design rather than an open reflector, it traps and redirects more of the lamp's light downward towards the canopy, while also isolating the lamp's heat away from the grow space more effectively than an open fixture.
It's designed as part of Omega's matched 315W CDM system, built to work directly with the Omega 315W CDM Digital Ballast and Omega 315W CDM Lamp as a complete kit, though it will also fit other standard 315W CDM lamps and ballasts.
How it compares
Enclosed reflectors sit a step up from basic open reflectors in most CDM setups.
- Delivers better light capture than an open reflector design, at the cost of slightly more complex bulb access for changes
- A more affordable enclosed option than Lumatek's hammertone reflector kits, which typically bundle at a higher price point
- Sits below Gavita's Pro 315e fixture, which integrates reflector and ballast into one sealed unit rather than separate components
A sensible middle-ground reflector if you want enclosed performance without paying integrated-fixture prices.
Usage guidance
Fitting
Fit the 315W CDM lamp into the reflector according to the manufacturer's socket orientation before connecting to the ballast - CDM lamps are sensitive to burn position, so check the lamp's own orientation markings.
Hanging height
Hang higher than you would an open reflector of the same wattage, since the enclosed design concentrates and intensifies the light pattern directly beneath it.
Cleaning
Clean the reflective interior and any glass panel periodically, since dust buildup on an enclosed reflector reduces light output more noticeably than on an open design.
Technical specifications
- Brand: Omega
- Compatible lamp wattage: 315W CDM
- Reflector type: enclosed
- Interior finish: white powder coating for light reflection
- Compatible ballast: Omega 315W CDM Digital Ballast (or other standard 315W CDM ballasts)
- Compatible lamp: Omega 315w CDM Lamp 3000K (or other standard 315W CDM lamps)
Who this is for
- Growers building the full Omega 315W CDM lighting kit
- Anyone upgrading from an open reflector to improve light capture
- Growers wanting better heat isolation from their lamp
- Buyers who already own an Omega ballast and lamp and need the matching reflector
Our take
On its own the reflector is a solid, purpose-built enclosed unit for 315W CDM lamps. As part of the full Omega kit alongside the matching ballast and lamp, it's a properly matched system rather than three components bought separately and hoped to work together.
Does exactly what it should, day in, day out.
