Never a good idea to try making electrical components that are not matched in their ratings work. Asking for trouble IMO. Best case insufficient light, worst case fire hazard or exploding bulb/ballast. I'd even stay away from the overdriven T5 setups some folks rave about. A lot more heat for a little more light.
