My electric guitar strings from the factory were:

`D'Addario 10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46`.

I'd like to put in 

    Earnie Ball Slinky Cobalt 8, 11, 14, 22, 30, 38.

Is it safe to use the smaller gauge strings? 

The reason I ask is that I've heard having not enough (or too much) string tension can warp the neck which will cause fretted notes to never align properly in their tuning. [Rockin Cowboy's Answer][1] indicated a truss rod adjustment may be necessary though the OP had inquired about an acoustic guitar. Thank you.
