These P.L. Light Systems products are worshipped by orchid growers. The main reason is how well their hoods disperse the light.
Take a new bulb and fire it up. Take even a cheap light meter and for your 400 watt light system, measure off 42" (basically a sq. meter with side room centered under the reflector) and see how consistent the light meter reads as you move from side to side, top to bottom centered under the light, etc.
You'll see why they're so highly regarded.
Cheers!
