Running HQI Bluewave 7 M80 and Radiums...can I switch to Reeflux?

Will this ballast "overdrive" the Coralvue Reeflux bulbs too much?

Can they take it?

Anyone...I'm assuming the answer is no, because the HQI ballast is too much for the mogul...just want to bounce it off you guys.

It will overdrive them, however you shouldn't have premature failure of the lamp because of it. You might end up replacing the lamp a month or two earlier due to spectral shift versus an electronic of pule start ballast. You will also pump more white light through the lamp assuming it's a 12k or 20k, and you'll see more yellow in the 10k.
