If you don't believe me get yourself a light meter either Lux or quantum and measure output after start up and warm up and wait a couple hours and measure again or better yet have your fan come on and take a measurment then turn off your fan and take a reading and watch it climb. We notice in our 400 watt the ouput dropped from 39000 lux to a mere 13000 after a cou[le hours. but don't take my word for it test it yourself.
