Uprgading my MH, opinions needed.

I have a 150w Coralife Aqualight Pro, and I want to upgrade to a 250w. The light has an external ballast, and I was considering buying a 250w ballast and replacing the stock one. I've been looking at this one:

Lumatek 250W 120V/240V Dual Voltage Digital Ballast

Is it that simple? I'm not sure if the output chord will match, but in theory is this the only thing i need to replace to make the light a 250w?

You need to change ballast AND sockets.

if you were running a mogul set up yes just change the ballast and lamp....with the hqi bulbs you will need new sockets also....
