The fact is you cant run a CFL with JUST a dc volatge. You need a small circuit of inverter which boosts the volatge which will then ignite the internal gases to glow. There are ample designs on the net and google is your friend.

Recently, In my mind - its strike abt this idea. In this world its exists or not this kind of design.
If its there - Please show me atleast in image format..
