http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/637381042/24W_Cold_Cathode_Fluorescent_Lamp_E27.html So anyone tried if these could be used,think they should run pretty cool? I did a search but with slim results. tia PS. link is just to show the tech,there should be other brands with diff. watts

I may be mistaken, but I think those lamps are designed to run in cooler ambient temps, not necessarily produce less heat.

EDIT: see WVturtle's post below. I was wrong...just don't tell the Mrs that I admitted it!
