Default Will this hurt or help my MH bulbs?

Hi all I have a big fan on one the side of my canopy and when its on my whole canopy is a small thunder
The question I have is will it hurt my bulbs? because they are cool all the time when the fan is on.
I would like to keep it that way cause my temp went down about 5 degrees What you think?

MH bulbs tend to burn at the secified K rating when they are HOT. I would point the fan at the water a bit to give you the same cooling effect without directly cooling the bulbs

Coral vue fans work great! Don't forget the 6% discount!! A fan blowing right on a MH bulb will not affect the color temprature it burns at.
