Philips could make the electronic ballast of the CPO-TWs, to instant hot restrike them, as they have bases that can withstand very high voltage pulses. Also, the CPO-TW lamps base could be made to withstand very high voltage pulses. Since the cerium is a rare earth material, it have very high ionisation temperature. Sodium have a low ionisation temperature. So sodium should be vaporize first, which in turn cause the lamp to become orange or even HPS color before the cerium starts to radiate. However i don't know if this is the case in reality.
