I do not know the inductive characteristics of cold light heads either.
If the load on the step up transformer were resistive, the load would be
reflected back through the transformer and place a resistive load on the
timer and the power company. Now a gas discharge tube is not resistive,
but
it probably has a resistor in series with it to reduce the peak current
through the tube, so it may be more resistive than the tube itself.
