Leaf problem question

I have two Nanolux ballasts, Dimming Settings: 110%, 100%, 75%, 50%.
Can't change bulbs but can turn down to 75%, 750W.
I can do that. They are both down to 750W now.
Should I get replacement ballasts/bulbs, like two 600W HPS for this tent. I think heat has been a big problem all along, aside from the other problems.
Off hand, do you know if the bulb's spectrum shifts running 1000W equipment @ 750W, does the shift impact yield? See graph:
OK, thanks for the LED tip. I'll look around in those debate threads.
I took one 1000W HPS out of the tent. I'm going to use it as a veg light again, 1000W Hortilux Blue MH.
The remaining light in the tent is now back to 1000W HPS. The temp in the tent is now 71F. Not sure about light intensity but heat can no longer be a problem.
Still waiting for the PH meter. I ordered a quart of Botanicare Cal-Mag+

Thr answer I have seen repeatedly is No. In fact a few of the top growers specifically mention lowering to 75% and then 50% as harvest approaches.Off hand, do you know if the bulb's spectrum shifts running 1000W equipment @ 750W, does the shift impact yield? See graph:

To be honest not sure. but to fight heat lower temps because that does effect your yieldsOff hand, do you know if the bulb's spectrum shifts running 1000W equipment @ 750W, does the shift impact yield? See graph:
