70w hps? Never heard of anyone using anything less than a 150w, and that just enough light for one med size or two small plants. Anyways, is the socket a med base? If its rated for at least a 250w bulb, you should be able to wire it to your 70w ballast and be just fine. I use the same mogul base sockets for 400w and the same one for my 600w hps lights.
