NO, unless you change the ballast..

You can but the bulb will be overdriven and may blow if the ballast can not recognize the bulb as normal output. Safety first, if you can open the fixture and look at the ballast you may be able to find what bulbs it will run.

I run T5NO in my T5HO fixture. Bulbs are correctly driven as measured by light output.
