Thanks ren 
I also did not see any difference in using one or up to five 2n3055 transistors in parallel. Did you use a normal earth ground?
Also I bought some powerful CFL's that are rated equivalent to 125w of conventional light, could not get them to light up, but it works fine on weaker bulbs. Must be a different gas inside, different pressure or something else.

So unless others want to build or tinker with it I feel its best to not de-rail the thread by posting info or results regarding something that isnt currently on topic.
