Has anyone ever tried lighting F90T17 lamps on S16 starters or 80w-225w tanning bed starters?

None of them u need FS6 starter that made for F90T17.   Just beefy FS2 version of the starter

No LED gadgets, spins too slowly.  Gotta  love preheat and MV. let the lights keep my meter spinning.

I imagine this is due to the low operating voltage of the lamp.

I would imagine that the tanning bed starters I see on eBay would be better suited for the longer HO and VHO tubes?

Yes,  S16 is good for 95 and 110 watt HO    S10 starter is same as our FS4 starter so u can    Use them as long your 200 OCV and over     FS-2 85 volt is the voltage that triggers the starter     So runing a F40 on FS-2 will trigger the starter and act EOL   Tube        Worldwide hid PM me if u like messaging me on FB so u dont make a pest out of your self asking all sort of questions.
