Well, IF the solar power output is 12 volts DC, and IF the CFL is designed to run from 110 volts 60 hz AC, you can find inverters that run from the 'cigarette lighter' socket in a car that convert 12 VDC to 110/60 hz VAC. You'll need to find one that will supply 20 watts minimum.

Hey, imagine if you had asked him why he is going to use lead with it? Most countries are trying to reduce lead in products and in the environment because of health and IQ issues it causes in people, especially children.
