a son agro is not a HQI or a HQI type ballast at all, it is simpaly a "different" ballast from a different type of product line that seams to work well in our applications. the only HQI ballasts made that are available to us are 150 watt and 250 watt. there are a few other models but no lights that we would use in thoes wattages.

so the story goes that a son agro "should" decrease the life of a MH bulb, but a 250 watt HQI ballast used on the tright types of bulbs will actualy increase the life of the bulb over that you would obtain with a standard ballast.
