I came across a fascinating video about converting the components of a CFL bulb into an amplifier. I am not sure this works at the moment, but I plan to try this out in the future.
The transistors used are the 13003 and the DA42050.
Note: due to the difficulty of dismantling the CFL bulb, I resorted to using transistors from a AC /DC adapter.
Here it the instructables link: https://www.instructables.com/Convert-Old-Cfl-to-Audio-Amplifier/
D42050
The data sheet is here: and it intriguingly lists its use as a 'commonly power amplifier'

13003 Transistor data sheet:

Although this device is built for high voltage and switching applications but can also be used for general purpose switching and amplification purposes.

Here is a video on the conversion:
