Here is the schematic diagram for a 20 Watt driver. I developed this circuit in 1985, and used it to build a lamp that found much use both as camping light and as emergency light during the then-frequent power outages.
Buy Fluorescent Lamp Driver
BUY 12V Fluorescent Lights
The two transistors work as a push-pull oscillator. To avoid crossover conduction, during operation the bases are self-biased to a slightly negative voltage by the 1R5 resistor. The 220uF capacitor gives strong positive bias during power-up, in order to get the oscillator started. 2k2 resistors only purpose is discharging the capacitor when the circuit is switched off, so it will restart the next time too!
