I was wondering if I was able to use this 430watt HPS bulb http://www.atlantalightbulbs.com/ecart/nw012104/PHILIPS317107.htm

with this particular HPS ballast
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-400-watt-HPS-GROW-LIGHT-High-Pressure-Sodium-400w-w_W0QQitemZ400093025481QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5d276714c9

just wondering if it would work with no problems.

Yes, the light output would just be 400 watts

...my next question would be even if it put out at only 400w, would it be a stronger lumen spectrum than the original bulb that came with?

Not a stronger lumen spectrum, but if I'm not mistaken the 430w would have an enhanced blue spectrum which would still apply if it was running at 400w.

thanks again you guys! compared to the 100bucks some others cost it's well worth spending the 40 plus s&h for this imo.
