Default G23 2G11 ballast/starter/capacitor fittings

I am looking for a light fitting suitable for taking a CFL with either a G23
or 2G11 type connector. I already have the CFL's. They produce UV-C type
light and will be used in a rapid bond curing experiment. The CFL's look
just like ordinary domestic types with wattages between 11 and 30 and just
need the same type of starter and ballast as domestic types. Lots of places
sell the CFL's but I have not found anyone who stocks the fittings.

B&Q etc sell lots of ordinary CFL's with G23 and 2G11 connectors so there
must be lots of fittings about which they plug in to.

Does anyone know of a source?

I believe that the G23 type bulb has the starter built-in and that the
ballast is in the lamp fitting. For the 2G11 type bulb the fitting has the
starter and ballast.

Thanks
