Its actually 600W's I had a typo in the first post

No it doesnt have a high UVB output (only 1%)

The lamps are underpowered because the bed only requires
600W's and they dont make a 600W lamp so you power the 1000W lamp at 600W and you get a longer lamp life. If you used a 500W lamp in the canopy you would be overpowering
it by 100W which would lower the lamps life

Actually the bed is quite cool and comfortabe with the fan at
the end
