Bluewave ballast

[cbort]

Hi,
I am in the works of trading some corals for 2 Bluewave 1 175W ballasts. He is also including 2 sets of DE brackets. This kinda confuses me. I looked these ballasts up and it doesn't say anything about a DE bulb being compatible. Anyone have any idea? They guy is telling me that they "should". Anyone else know? Either way i will probably still go ahead with the deal considering 175's will still work over my setup.

I don't believe there is even a such thing as a 175 W DE bulb
