HQI vs. Standard PFO ballasts

[ReefShack]

Will the PFO HQI ballasts work with non-HQI bulbs (i.e. Ushio 400W 10000K mogul)? I have heard that this combo will have increased light output but I'm wondering about bulb life?

You betcha Reefshack. A HQI ballast will basically just overdrive the 400 watts o about 430 using a son agro ballast (the ones PFO use in thier)
