Here is a little demo that show that flashing floure with 1.5V battery and car coil is better to be done without floure filament.
YouTube - CFL lighting, with or without filament?

I think this happen because of the nature of coil collapse current which have more voltage when the load has very high impedance. Utilizing filament wil reduce the impedance considerably and reduce coil collapse current voltage and thus lowering the brightness considerably.
