An ignition system for a combustor of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The ignition system may include multiple igniters to reduce the likelihood of system failure. In at least one embodiment, the ignition system may be formed from a first igniter formed from an outer electrode containing at least one central electrode at a distal end of the outer electrode and may include a second igniter. The second igniter may be formed from a central electrode positioned within the outer electrode forming the first igniter. During operation, the igniters may spark to ignite the fuel mixture within the combustor.
