I saw a fall off in growth after about 8 months of use. And a PAR meter confirmed. IMO 8-9 months is max for best resulys. I am sure you could eek 12 months out of it when using it along side another light source. But stand alone 6-8 months is it.I had Hortilux on the phone and asked them about lamp life. I was told the MH Blue is 6 months recommended replacement at 24 hour on time. So 9-12 like an HPS lamp should still be within an acceptable output depreciation.
We will see, I too am liking what I am seeing with that lamp. Especially paired with the Hortilux Platinum ballast.
Another thing to note is that I have never noticed any shock or stall out moving from the Inda-Gro 420 to either HPS or the Blue Halide. I don't know why anyone doesn't have a IG420 in their veg room
