VANGUARD LEC 315W-3100K (E40) Bulb

Buy LEC Bulb 315 W-3100 K (E40) VANGUARD

LEC/CMH (Light Emitting Ceramics) technology offers a full and continuous spectrum that increases photosynthetic efficiency, raises trichome density, and improves aromatic definition in cannabis cultivation . In the 3100 K range, the balance between blues and reds is ideal for complete cycles, with an added benefit in the generative phase thanks to the far-red light.

This 315W lamp provides around 32,000 lumens and integrates UV + IR radiation, strengthening the cuticle and boosting the production of secondary metabolites.

The E40 socket format simplifies installation in common reflectors and reduces costs by eliminating the need for adapters. Compared to higher-wattage HPS lights, a 315W LEC fixture can perform like a reference sodium lamp of around 550W, with less heat generation and a better gram-per-watt ratio when the environment is properly controlled.

Full start-up is achieved in about 3 minutes , the lifespan is around 19,000 hours and the horticultural recommendation is to renew around 3–4 crops (≈3,700 h) to maintain optimal flow and spectrum.

The bulb works in a horizontal or vertical position, integrating into 80–120 cm cabinets with adequate extraction and a correct distance to the canopy.

Hybrid configurations with LED grow lights achieve superior edge coverage and a finely tuned spectral curve for compact and resinous flowers.

Indoor Growing LEC Bulb 315 W-3100 K (E40) VANGUARD

Designed for indoor growing in grow tents and medium-sized rooms, it provides crisp, stable light that promotes controlled internodes, healthy leaves, and balanced branching. The UV content contributes to a more robust epidermis and greater aromatic complexity, while the IR supports flowering processes. The combination results in uniform colas and improved density in both main and secondary colas.

What is the purpose of the VANGUARD 315W-3100K (E40) LEC bulb?

It's designed to cover both the vegetative and flowering stages of cannabis plants with a single light source, optimizing energy consumption and yield. The 3100K spectrum offers sufficient blue light for vigorous vegetative growth and adequate red light for flower development, resin production, and color enhancement. An excellent choice for those seeking photon efficiency, lower operating temperatures, and consistent results compared to traditional HPS lighting.
