    It will be fine, the wattage of the bulb doesn't matter you could use a 1000w in the reflector you got

    Wipped!

    I would stick with the 400w and get a bigger exhaust fan, like 400cfm minimum. They you will have no problem with heat. You could also get a cool tube to cut down on heat.

    But whatever you do don't downgrade your light, light = yield and thats the whole reason we grow in the first place. For quality bud
