Ideal load to do that (I mean if it were a transmission line) would be a matching resistive load. Which it is neither. And then it is an unaswered question where it is in the line.

Capacitive, if it were (I do not know - never learned what kind of load it is in a CCFL, I always thought it is similar to other fluorescents) - why then the other fixtures do not do that. They do not necessarily have 8 bulbs but then they have 3, so I should've at least notice some effect but then there's none.
