I have run all the type bulbs you mentioned (except for a radium) on my hamilton. the hamilton ballast should fire a radium also. HQI denotes a certain type of ballast ( I think) Hamilton uses a magnetic type ballast that will fire any mogul base bulb of matching wattage, as will an electronic ballast.

To help clear thigs up HQI ballasts are used to fire double ended HQI bulbs.Radium makes both type bulbs as far as I know, so the hamilton pendant is not HQI. If I am mistaken someone will correct me,probably pretty quickly.
