Will a probe start ballast fire a se Radium bulb?
 
Aquarium Specialty - dry goods & marine livestock
Anyone have a guess?
 
The way I understand it radiums are pulse start meaning the starter is outside the bulb. Probe start bulbs have the starter inside the bulb and the two bulb ballast configurations should not be mixed.
