@ Scobedo: That transistor does not exist, it was meant to be a joke.
I'm Not kidding. Forget looking for it...
@ Totoalas:
I'm still working on getting the gutted Cfls to light as close to full brightness as possible, without excess heat on the transistor. The gutted Cfls use less current to light the bulbs than most any other bulbs,and there is no ringing from the core.
I am using an earth ground on the Cfl bulb which helps a lot. Also the same earth ground also goes to the battery negative rail. More light is produced this way, with less heat, and no noise.
I've also added my 1.5" by 6" Exciter coil (L3), to the output end of my JR 3.0 ferrite bead rod's secondary, to obtain more voltage to light the gutted bulbs. Higher voltages but with less current, so the 12 battery lasts longer on a full charge.
I'll upload some pics in a day or two.
