No I don't recall having any issues with the bulb at all. The tank was actually happier with the 20K than the 14K bulb it came with and no problems with excess UV leakage. The whole setup is fairly well protected as I do believe there was both a glass shield for the bulb as well as a piece of flat glass to protect the whole reflector and bulb/shield combo.
