I don't know if they still have them, but when I was in JL a couple of weeks ago they had a few PFO electornic ballasts...some 175 and some 250 in the clearance section.

Thanks! I looked on their website, and they only have 175w listed, so I sent them an email.

Hi everyone, this may be a stupid question, can I replace my 150W ballast with 250W ballast to run 250W bulbs? do I need to change the sockets? It is in a Coralife fixture though. Thanks.

If SE, then changing ballasts is all you need to do.

If DE, the 260w bulb & socket much larger than the 150w bulb/socket so you'll have to change out the socket & rewire. May also need a bigger fan.
