Hey guys I 've got some M58 Ballast and I am running 250W 15000k's on them. I have always run 250's on them but was cleaning up the other day and found the old bulbs that came with them and noticed they were 175W. All this time I had no idea,talking about suprise and feeling like an idiot. I have never had problems but am woundering if I am getting what I need out of the bulbs. Common sence would tell me no but they seem to be very bright and fire up fine. I'm sure the life span on the bulbs are probably in question but is it longer or shorter?
I need some good info if I am really having any problems or not, and some pro's and cons. Thanks!

M58 is a 250 watt probe start ballast not a 175 watt. Good to go.
