Product Overview

The Philips MasterColor CDM-T Elite 315W T12 CL Agro P is a medium-wattage ceramic metal-halide lamp engineered for the horticultural market. Philips identifies it as a compact and efficient solution intended to provide strong growth-light performance when paired with a compatible ballast.

The lamp produces 33,000 initial lumens at 3100K with a CRI of 92. Its output characteristics differ substantially from standard 4200K commercial ceramic metal-halide lamps, and it should be selected only when the horticultural Agro version is required.

The lamp operates at approximately 98 volts and 3.15 amps after startup. It must be paired with control gear specifically approved for this Philips 315W lamp. Similar wattage, base style, or physical dimensions do not establish ballast compatibility.

Compatible Applications

Professional horticultural lighting fixtures
Indoor cultivation systems designed for 315W ceramic metal-halide lamps
Greenhouse supplemental lighting
Plant-growth luminaires using a PGZX18 socket
Maintenance replacement where Philips product number 415216 is specified
