Are 250w de sockets the same as 1250w de?

Can anyone tell me if 150w DE MH bulbs are the same size as 250W MH DE?

Just wondering if they are the same socket, if so I am going to change to a 250w ballast and new bulbs.

hellolights sells them seperately http://www.hellolights.com/lampclips.html so i imagine they are diff sizes

Thanks guys, I finally found a site that does indeed say that the 150's are an inch shorter than the 250's. I had found a site that was selling reflectors for 150, 250, and 400 DE and did not state a diferent size nor a different product number for each size. I had begun to think they were the same.

My plan is to remove the old 150's and reflectors and replace them with 250's. This is an Oddesea fixture similar to the Coralife fixture. I found some reflectors with sockets and with some crafty work using snips and a tanle saw I think I can pull it off.

Thanks for replying.
