Either the rose or apricot ones.  These were produced from the early to mid 1990s as I recall, in both self ballasted and seperate formats.

I'm not too fussy about which type.  Obviously, for photographic purposes for my site, a working lamp is preferable to a dead one, but it doesn't need to be new.  Packaging's not an issue, but again, preferred.

Any other non-standard colour CFLs are sought after too.

Thanks to a reader of this website, I now have a rose coloured one.  In original, unopened packaging what's more.

That's a bitter-sweet thing, as I'd really like to see it in operation...but am extremely reluctant to break open the packaging to get at it...will probably stay sealed in there for the forseeable future

Now, just the apricot one to find...

Can close this one now.

I've now got examples of both Rose and Apricot versions of this lamp in my collection, both of which can be seen under the CFL section of my lighting page.

Many thanks for the help.
