I'm quite interested in CFL; but have yet to understand how they might look in a standard halogen downlighter; even if that is possible - anyone know?

The place to ask is on the newsgroup - discussion pages here are really about development of the article. Besides you'll get a lot more responses on the group.

Vadalism?

Not sure if someone just made a cockup or actually wanted to nuke the page. The IP address in question checks out as what looks like Oman telecom. Their abuse contact is:

A1, A2, A3 ballasts

For electronic ballasts, there's A3, A2, and A1, but it's more complicated how they're used, and I haven't looked up the precise details. I think A3 only allows a total of about 1W more than the tube power rating, and A2 and A1 have total power consumptions less than the tube rating. This works by underruning the tubes, and relying on the HF operation being more efficient to get the same light output as at 50Hz operation. Would need to look into that some more before it's accurate enough for the wiki though.
