Yes, the probe start will fire the 12 or 14K's. I agree about the 12K's. They had a lot of problems. Go with the 14K's much more appealing.

You may want to ask the seller that question, but I believe it is a standard metal halide ballast which would fire any mogul type 175-watt bulb (I think it was 175-watts)
