Basically people are using a system lot like yours.

Ouch! Full bridge will make you need lot less current for same power
(twise the voltage available). I suggest that for experimenters
rather than lots of devices paralleled to get the power from a half
bridge!

BTW, what kind of output you are getting from it? Lots of nice spark? :)
