Poor quality lamps in my collection are prohibited. Most of them have been used for my destructive experiments and ballast tests.

I have used a Philips SI51 ignitor to ignite a North American 175w M57 probe start metal halide lamp in an American Electric R175M 175w H39 mercury vapor yardblaster fixture before and I have also temporarily converted a North American 38w 2D CFL fixture to preheat using a North American single lamp F40T12 preheat fluorescent tube ballast before.
