Yes, as a matter of fact.

These are meter readings at 100Hrs.

CANOPY

5.0 uva/uvb 75
6.0 uvb 1.09=1.5%uvb
7.0 med/Hr 24=10 minute TE time

As you can see the TE time has hung in there pretty damn good after the first 20 hr break in. So did the total output. Much better then I expected at 100Hrs. This is a GREAT lamp for the right application depending on what you want you bed to do. I really LOVE the way it TANS you.

My only knock on this lamp is that I had 6 burnouts in the canopy in ONLY the first 70 hrs. Not sure if it is because of the 180W ballast or not as the bench lamps have not had a single problem. The last 30 Hrs I have not had one burnout. So I will continue to monitor it. They did give replacement lamps without hesitation BUT it is a hassle taking the bed apart. That is my only concern with this lamp. Need to see if this was a one time problem OR if it is common after this batch. I do love this lamp in one or two of my beds so it all depends on how you have your levels set up.

Performance is a thumbs up.
