Has anyone tried modeling a flo using the compact fluorescents?

I would love to build one that uses these.

Anyone know what to do about an internal ballast?

See my reply to your ballast question in your other post...

You could also make a fixture from a self-ballasted compact fluorescent too like a halogen worklight. It would only hold a 30w bulb but you would be surprised how useful a small light like that can be.

I was looking at doing the self-ballasted ones first using a couple of the 150w bulbs that I keep seeing. But I couldnt find any with a 90+ cri. So Im going with the more kino-floish design.

I'm not a fan of emission spectrum lighting, but here you go...
