probe start is for ballast with out starters, the ballast sends open current to the bulb and lets it go, if you have a pulse start, electric or HQI ballast they will not allow open current to the bulb so the probe cannot start the bulb. so in thoes cases you are relying on the starter of the ballast to start the arc in the bulb.
