of coarse it will work it just wont get the full 100 watts .. and a 70 watt would be brighter..

im doing the same thing but with MH i got a 175 watt bulb in a 100 watt ballast, im wondering if theres any fire risk involved?

it seems to take longer to warm up

FloorDuhCanna is that a external fixator in your neck?
