Default Old Bulbs = Nuisance Algae?

Does anyone have direct experience relating to this? Does anyone believe that old bulbs can greatly contribute to nuisance/film algae?

The reason I ask:

I have been running Zeovit for about 6 weeks. My nitrates read 1-2ppm. I have no hair algae or cyanobacteria to speak of. Clam, SPS and Gigantea Anemone are all healthy, coloring up and thriving. I feed heavily.

But I'm getting a really crazy film algae all over the glass every single day....sometimes I'll clean it in the morning and it'll be back at night! Insane.

Thoughts?
