Your help is appreciated.

RE: Compact Fluorescent lamp model in Simulink.

The CFL tube has a peculiar resistance characteristic, which some people call a 'negative resistance'. As the current is the gas column increases the voltage across the gas drops. The curve is not especially linear. You would probably find a Google search is more productive is you search for something like [blue]fluorescent tube model current voltage[blue]. Here's a link for a start:
