quick question: can any bulb be used with a pulse start ballast? I know some of the European bulbs require PS... can an XM 20k or a Hamilton 14k work with a Pulse Start ballast, or will problems arise?

thx!

Yes a probe start bulb can be used a pulse start ballast. It is not a supported combination, but I have never had any problems doing so.
