Can I get Lumenmax 3 reflectors and upgrade later to 250W ballast/bulbs?

Thx in advance

PS, what's a better reflector? Lumenmax Elite, or LumenMax 3??

I've got the LMax3's right now, but I am gonna switch to the Elites on the 187 as I think they will provide a bit wider light spread... If you are going with 3 reflectors, the LMax3's are prolly good to go with though.
