What voltage do all these compact fluorescent "lamps" use ..?
And what waveform/frequency is required (used) ..?
You can run them off a small 220v/12v mains transformer in reverse, wired in
a flyback configuration. That means, a transistor, and letting the thing
self oscillate through one of the windings. The frequency all depends on
how the transformer is built and will vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. But you can run a small tube off of a 9v radio battery.
The terminology is roughly right there and someone will offer a better
explanation. All I know is that from tinkering that it works. These
handheld flashlights will have a small specially built transfromer meeting
the specifications of the the tube the manufacturer chose.
:-)
There's a bit on this on the DIY hobby sites somewhere. Google it.
