I'd love to get properly daylight-balanced compact florries or 12V LED 
lamps (the ones that fit the halogen lamp bases).

What about electronic ballast?  That would strobe (if at all) at around 
1kHz, so less flicker (which gives me a headache, the whole reason I 
don't use compact florries) and less chance of strobing.
