| This is even when i attach the side of the frame wire of the lamp to the globe.
Only when i attach the base of the lamp, an argon negative glow appears between the first electrode and the third starting electrode.
Why?

| No enough potential difference - no discharge
The potential on 2 electrodes probably was too close. You can try it again, but touch one contact n the lamp base with something connected to earth (like yourself), now maybe itll light

| The glow discharge also appeared when i toughed the base while i attached the lamp to the plasma ball.
fluorescent lamps glow even when attaching their glass to the plasma globe.
Medved knows better.

| @Ash: This woul be valid only, if there is no discharge. Once the discharge strike somewhere, you have to treat it's path like a conductor. So e.g. probe-less lamp would glow trough the whole aectube length, the lamp with the starting probe would glow only on the probe...

| Assuming very low current, the volt drop on the starting resistor is negligible
In the example above, lets assume that 150 V was enough to strike the arc and then the struck arc clamps it down to 80 V
Those 80 V appear between main electrodes and between one main and starting probe
Electric field = voltage / distance, so the field at the starting probe is strongest, and there the arc will take place

| The arc would take place only on the starting probe, but due to the low current, I doubt it would be visible (maybe only in the dark). The voltage would be clamped to only few 10's of V, way not enough to ionise the gas elsewhere...
