not to pick a fight here, but how can a 430w ballast (400w "HQI") NOT overdrive a 400w bulb? by Ohm's law, it's not possible.

for those technical minded people that want to do some research, you'll find that HQI is actually a brand-name of light bulbs in Europe that include SE and DE bulbs. we americans just blindly lable anything designed for DE use as "HQI" when that really isn't the case.
