Using 400w ballast to run 250w lamps?

I wonder what would happen if you run two 250w MH bulb parallel with one 400w ballast?

Electronic ballast probably would not work as it has built-in current/voltage limiting. Magnetic is mostly temperature limiting as long as you can keep it from over heating.

I know it's crazy, but just curious.
