It is generally not recommended to use a pulse start lamp with a probe ballast as it may not provide the proper starting voltage required for the pulse start lamp to ignite. Pulse start lamps typically require a higher starting voltage compared to conventional fluorescent lamps, and probe ballasts are primarily designed for use with conventional fluorescent lamps.
Instead, a pulse start ballast should be used with a pulse start lamp to ensure proper ignition and reliable operation. Pulse start ballasts provide the necessary high-voltage pulse to initiate the starting process of the pulse start lamp.
