150 watt PFO work w/ 250 HQI

I have the 150 watt HQI reflector/housing and was wondering if I can just pop in a 250 watt HQI into the same housing? And yes the ballast is 250 watt. Thanks guys

I always thought the 250 DE bulb was a little longer than the 150 DE. I have to check my setups since I have both next time I change the bulbs. I know my 70 watt DE bulbs are shorter than the 150 DE.

I know you can put a 70watt bulb in the PFO 150 set up, but nt sure if a 250 will fit....
