CMH (LEC) Plug and Play Fixture

July 27, 2018

Some ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamps - also known as LECs - come equipped with a built-in reflector and ballast, giving you an easy plug-and-play option that takes up less space. Some of these complete CMH rigs are affordable and produce results comparable to more expensive HID lamps.

CMHs are also a good option if you have limited amps or older wiring and are concerned about your power draw.
