Is there any advantage at all to pulse start ballasts? I bought dual 175W MH and the vendor suggested to upgrade to the pulse start because I'd have a wider choice of bulbs.
I would stick with pulse start as this is what most MH bulbs require to fire and a probe start bulb on a pulse start ballst is going to shorten the lifespan of the bulb.
