European T12 fluorescent tubes without IRS strip « on: January 11, 2022, 12:23:50 PM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
Since I like collecting lighting from anywhere in the world, I am particularly interested in looking for places where I can source a wide variety of European T12 fluorescent tubes without IRS strips since they have been banned in many European countries since 2012. Please let me know of places where I can reliably source them without having to travel.

is any colour/wattage fine? I might be able to help you out. I know some sellers on ebay who sell Full cases of them for cheap (around 70 usd per case). I bought 3 myself but there is plenty remaining.

For me, I have been thinking of getting mainly the 2 foot and 4 foot T12 tubes in 3000K warm white (color 29), 3500K neutral white (color 35), 4000K cool white (color 33), and 6500K daylight (color 54) mainly in low CRI halophosphate. I would also not mind getting deluxe halophosphate too.

Please do. I would also like to find some services that can help me import the tubes to the USA. I understand that they might not be cheap.
