Metal Halide Fixture Cooling Fans…Necessary?

Dear Crew, <> Thanks again for providing the extraordinary service of WWM! It is a true blessing! <> I have a quick question regarding metal halide lights. I have purchased a Coralife hang on tank 150 watt HQI light. One of the reasons that I chose this unit was the fact that it has its own built in cooling fan. The manufacturer clearly states in the manual that the cooling fan must be used at all times. Here in the Midwest, it has gotten quite cold this winter (-7 degrees F in KS) and frankly, my reef could benefit from the added heat that the light provides.
