Default Metal Halide Bulb Replacement

I have a 400W MH fueling my orchid frenzy but I wonder, how do you know when its time to replace the bulb. The footcandles are starting to lessen a little i think and I have had the bulb for quite sometime, but is there a definitive way to tell?

Also, when replacing the bulb, what should I look for? Are there different types of MH bulbs, some better for growing?
