I have heard that the Luxim lamps have very poor lifetimes. Anybody heard similar stories?

Beware! Use some sort of UV shielding! After hanging one of these above my tank for 3 days I noticed some of my acros were not opening much and the texture of the coral tissue looked funny. After examining them more carefully from above I saw lots of damage similar to (but not as bad) when I have had the outer shield break on halides in the past. I definitely think there is some UV radiation given off. Use some uv resistant glass!
