Thanks for the reply : yes I wanted to know how 
to calculate what ballast I need ( what value of L )

I do not know what a  LC R is
I have some Fluorescent lamp ballasts but I think these will be TOO small
( they have MARKINGS of 50w A 0.67N AND LAMBDA 0.48)
I would be prepared to make or buy the chokes ( 
ballasts) IF I KNEW HOW TO CALCULATE WHAT I NEEDED.
Dr R. gave me a practical solution:  for which I 
am most grateful- (3ft of PVC pipe filled with 
steel chips, and then a winding of 400 turns - I 
have the laminates from a big transformer so this 
should be suitable as it should be  high silicon steel) .
Just a note on the cost of things here ( my 
Brother is in Vacaville Ca. so I get some 
feedback from him) Roughly everything in the UK 
is the same price as in the USA except in 
Pounds  not dollars; and so, in real terms, twice as expensive
From another thread, I saw your lighting dimmers were about  2-3 dollars
the cheapest here is £7 gbp  that is about 13 USD !
The average small car is about 26 000 USD; 
gasoline is  about 9 dollars a UK gallon
