I've actually used a "60W" CFL electronic ballast to drive a 22W circiline florescent bulb. Seems this florescent bulb "looks" similar enough electrically to the ballast. Connect the circline bulb connector to where the old CFL bulb connected to, paying attention as to which of the 4 connections match as for the filaments and the pair on opposite ends of the bulb. Also works for thise old smaller florecent tube desk lamps. You'll have to rework the power switches on those, though.
