The cooling provided by the bed most determines the useful life of a lamp. Excessive heat is what degrades the lamp more than any other factor. Insufficient air conditioning contributes to this but if the bed cannot maintain proper lamp temperature with a maximum of 76°F ambient room temperature the output and lamp life will suffer. Overdriving a lamp also will shorten the useful life of a lamp.
