PFO Ballasts

Can PFO standard dual ballasts run different temperature bulbs, such as 6500K Iwasakis, 10,000K Ushios or Hamiltons, 20,000K whatevers, etc...?

Thanks.

BEFORE I HAVE DUAL 400W PFO MH BALLAST WITH 65K IWASAKI
AND THEN SWITH TO 10000K USHIO LAMP FIND OUT 10000K ARE NOT BRIGHT WITH PFO STANDER BALLAST SO CHANGE TO 400W PFO MH BALLAST HQI WITH 10000K ARE SO NICE.

The PFO MH ballast will run all the bulbs you mentioned. If your going with the 6.5K then I would go with the standard MH ballast for 250watt and the EYE (aka MV) ballast for 400watt. If you plan to run 10 or 20K's then go with the HQI for 250 or 400......
