That is a fair question , but can only partly be answered. For the 96W it is immaterial , it lost half of its original output in six months (I don't remember the numbers).
I have just measued an almost new 65W CSL Smartlamp. It measures a little under 5000 LUX. Brand new 10000/6700K Sunpaq measures just over 5000 LUX I have no new T5, or GE 9325 tubes, so I cannot measure them. I did just add the old Actinic Coralife to the old 10000K, and only got 3000 LUX I then added the old GE to the old Coralife, and got more than 4000 LUX I can tell you that visually the other 65W tubes looked great when new, but are very dull after one year

well ya the power consumption goes it. I have read it on 2 or 3 sites that manufacture PC's and they say to change them frequently because of this. also there have been a couple posts on this problem and exactly like you said a couple melted canopies. this was all about a year or two back, I believe it was on RC, I'll see if I can find them again.
