Odd ball PL Spiral CFLs at the ReStore
Well here are some interesting finds, they have odd ball PL spiral cfls in the restore. I didn't get any because I don't have a fixture for it nor have a use for it. But pretty cool, kinda wonder if they're pre-heat...

They look like they have 4 pins so they're probably intended for a electronic ballast. That being said, depending on the voltage/current characteristics of it, you might be able to run it with a preheat ballast and external starter.

The PL lamps have four pins, so they are rapid-start lamps (no built-in starter). They may be able to operate on a preheat ballast with an external starter, but were probably designed for a rapid-start or programmed-start electronic ballast. The little circlines also look interesting. I wonder if they are for makeup mirrors or something like that?
