It is true that there are Mexican CWA ballasts specifically designed for the Philips SON-T PIA high pressure sodium lamps and the Osram NAV-T Super 4Y high pressure sodium lamps too like I said in previous threads. In addition, Silverliner has had no problems running European 250w high pressure sodium lamps on North American 250w S50 CWA high pressure sodium ballasts since North American high pressure sodium CWA ballasts are designed to handle rising voltage over life since standard North American saturated vapor and standard European saturated vapor high pressure sodium lamps share the exact same arc tube chemistry. The only incompatibility issues I see are with running the saturated vapor high pressure sodium lamps on CWA mercury vapor ballasts.
Here is the post about Silverliner running a European 250w high pressure sodium lamp on a North American CWA ballast:

"You can run European HPS lamps on USA ballasts just fine, lol. All HPS lamps have voltage rise over life. Dor123 was referring to HPS retrofit lamps for
mercury ballasts. There shouldn’t be issues running European standard HPS lamps in 250w and up because they share the same electrical values. Lower wattage HPS lamps are different as ours are low voltage types designed for 120v chokes. Theirs are more like our low wattage MH lamps."
