SPECIAL NOTES, INSTRUCTIONS AND OPTIONS

•  These instructions cover Sunburst CMh systems with item codes SBCMH31531K (120V/240V, 

3100K lamp); SBCMH31542K (120V/240V, 4200K lamp); SBCMH315231K (277V, 3100K lamp); 

and  SBCMH315242K (277V, 4200K lamp). The 120V/240V models are intended only for 120V or 

240V, 50/60Hz operation and the 277V models are intended only for 277V, 60 Hz operation. 

•  Avoid direct contact with water and liquids to prevent electric shock or internal damage to the 

unit.

•  The lamp may require 10-30 minutes cooling time before restarting.
•  After you plug in the Sunburst CMh, the lamp may require several minutes to reach its full 

brightness.

•  In the event of a momentary power interruption, be aware that the lamp will not restart 

immediately. This is normal, and protects the lamp and ballast.

•  Some variation in the color of light emitted by the lamp is not unusual, especially in the first 

100 hours of operation.

•  Never pull the cord to unplug the fixture—pull the plug only.
•  Avoid scratching the lamp, subjecting it to undue pressure, or getting it wet when it is hot—

these actions may cause the lamp to break.

•  In the event of lamp breakage, immediately unplug the reflector to prevent exposure to 

ultraviolet energy, which may be harmful to eyes and skin.

•  Keep room temperature below 95°F, with adequate air circulation by fan in the growing area.
•  Two lamp color temperature options are available: 3100K and 4200K, one of which you will 

have chosen when purchasing your system.
