Overdrive setting on 1000 watt HPS ballast?

[bud88]

The ballast I had been using started getting noisy so rather than take any chances I had to break out my backup(new Lumepower). It has a 110% setting which I assume is like an overdrive. The light is in a 4 x 4 tent. As far as lumens go I have plenty. I was wondering however, if using the 110% setting would benefit me? I was also wondering if using the setting would possibly shorten the life of the ballast? Anyone have this option on their ballast and use it?

it's for a super lumen bulb and not a reg bulb.
