    a strong bulb is a hot one. and more bulbs is even hotter. and when you are cooling your area your plants like it but your bulbs don't. your bulbs are cooling and getting dimmer. its a must to try to keep the bulbs as hot and bright as they can get. even a regular 14'' fan will lower the lumens of any light. air circulation must go upwards off the lights so the heat goes that way to help keep the lights brighter. Have a look at these girls ripened full of buds ready for 12 hrs sleep smothered by walls and ceiling with flourescent grow bulbs of every spectrum!

    when you aim your fan at your lit bulb(s) if your eyesight is ok you will see your bulb lower its brightness...............aim your fan away from it and see it get brighter. and it depends on how cold the air is you are aiming at it! and how high you set your fan at.

    consider trying as many different types of grow bulbs from different manufacturers...........eack type has something to offer your plants which is better than just 1 type............they'l work unbelievable and without a heat problem! fixtures with they'r own electric ballasts all plug into a power bar making no heat!
