That's odd, I have never experience or heard anything like that. How long has this been going on?

Your ballast is about to go. You actually don't need much power once the ballast is up and running, it actually use much less power than typical halogen bulb. Only of the 1/2 sec during boot up that it use lot of power.

FYI, I observed a ballast set for a CLK on ebay, at a reasonable price.
