Really? Crap! I was thinking that a 150 and 250 were the same bulb length. Cripes by the time I change out all the parts...I will have made a new fixture. These reflectors are small and tight....so not sure if that would work without major mods. I will have to look at this as well.

Thanks guys for your help with this. I am not sure if this mod would be practical at this point.

Keep in ming that the ballast housing for these fixtures also has a x-former in it to step it up to 240v from 120v, so you may have to add a x-former to your list of things to get. Also the bulb size is slightly larger on 250w that the 150w so you will have to get new sockets as well.
