which are 70% of the bulbs in our hobby, the problem is the ballast will start them at first then 6 months later you will have problems getting the bulb to light, might light first shot might take 1/2 a hour or more. I find the 175 watt's seam to be more sensitive to this also.
the good news is as long as the bulb will physically fit in you can use it and if you want you could even change the ballast in there to a pulse or HQI type ballast.
