Anyone DIY 250MH?

I thinking of turning a regent 500W into a 250MH? I've seen 70 and 150 but can 250 be done? I wouldn't see why not?

If you're going down from 500W to 250W, I don't see a problem. Going from 70-150W to 250W I would see the extra heat maybe possing a problem if the fixture parts/pieces aren't design for the higher heat or the 250W.
