question about odyssea MH 175W fixtures

[kasha]

So I have a fixture of 2x175W but they are DE. This is strange to me since everywhere I look (except ebay) the 175W bulbs are exclusively SE. Can anyone make sense of this?

thanks

Trust me,they're 150's not 175.They make Junk.Please don't buy it.Check the ballast if it says 150.

I bought it 8 months ago and am now considering upgrading the ballast, which is why I'm trying to figure out what I have. The ballast says 175, the bulbs say 175 and they are definitely DE. Here is a link to DE 175s on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/2pcs-175W-10K-D...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262

so is the conclusion that there is such a thing as 175DE and that I should upgrade to ice caps 175 or that I have 150s and that both my ballast and and bulbs say 175 but are not...
