Studio flash - help me find a product!

Aaaaargh, this is driving me nuts. My Google skills have failed me and I can't find the magazine which had an article about them.

I'm looking for a set of studio flash which uses fluorescent tubing rather than the usual flash tubes - I recall they looked like a softbox with a load of striplights in but I can't remember the name!

They're a bit like Coolights but for photography, not video. I'm pretty sure they were flash and not continous, but maybe I've got that bit wrong...

Anyone know what I'm on about?

I googled fluorescent studio lights and came up with these

but I guess you've already done that?

EDIT: Hmmm, don't think they're flashes tho.

Yeah, they're more for continous lighting for video.

The ones I was thinking of were a very thin, flat panel that acted as a flash with softbox permanently attached. The light was diffused as standard and they run very cold making them suitable for food photography. I think they had 'barn doors' on them too, but they might have been an optional extra.

I can picture them in my mind, I just can't remember the bloody name of them or who made them!

And knowing my luck they'll turn out to be about £500 a peice or something ridiculous like that!
