When they sit on the screen they retain a little more heat, which can cause increased decay or blowout. This is more common with powersun and other bulbs of less sturdy construction, but could still make some difference with megarays or trex. I own a meter and it seems to me the lower the wattage(less heat), the slower the decay. I have noticed the 60watt barely decays at all for a very long time,and the 100's last much longer than the 160's.(uvb wise) So it makes sense that it is the heat that largely contributes to decay.
